OXFORD, MS – Clemson’s baseball team is in all too familiar situation heading into Sunday.
For the fourth consecutive year, Clemson opened postseason play with a win on Friday. And for the fourth straight year, the Tigers dropped the second game of a regional, setting up a possible three-game stretch of win-or-go-home for the Tigers.
Ole Miss pounded Clemson 6-1 Saturday night at Swayze Field and advanced to Sunday night’s championship game.
Clemson will face Jacksonville State at 3 p.m. Sunday needing a win to keep its season alive. If the Tigers beat the Gamecocks, they will need to beat Ole Miss Sunday night and again Monday to advance to a Super Regional for the first time since 2010, which is also the last time the program advanced to Omaha and the College World Series.
