The calendar turns to May tomorrow, which means the ACC Baseball Tournament will begin three weeks from today in downtown Charlotte. That also means the stretch run is here for a Clemson baseball team coming off an emotional week.
The Tigers lost an extra-inning thriller to Georgia last Tuesday, completed yet another furious rally to defeat Louisville on Friday, lost a heartbreaker to Louisville on Saturday, and took a baseball bat to the Cards’ NCAA Tournament chances with a run-rule mercy killing on Sunday.
Clemson is ranked No. 4 in both the Baseball America and D1Baseball polls and sits fourth in the RPI rankings.
