CLEMSON – The songs drifting out of the speakers at Doug Kingsmore Stadium Monday afternoon had a definite California twist to them, with everything from California Dream’ by the Mamas and the Papas to Hotel California by The Eagles.
It was California Dreamin’, however, that turns out to be the perfect song choice for a Tiger baseball team that will travel across the country this week to California – Clemson was selected to the NCAA Tournament on Monday afternoon and will play in the Fullerton (Calif.) Regional beginning Friday at Goodwin Field.
This will be Clemson’s first trip to California to play a game since 1993, when the late Bill Wilhelm’s final team played six games in a regular-season tournament in Fresno.
