Just a few weeks ago, the Clemson baseball team appeared to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament and had won a season-high seven consecutive games. Seventeen days and seven losses later, those tournament hopes are on life support.
The Tigers have lost seven out of their last nine games following Duke’s 14-8 victory at Doug Kingsmore Stadium Friday, and now sit at 24-25 overall and 16-19 in the ACC. Clemson swept Wake Forest in late April and then swept a top-five Louisville team in early May and then defeated USC Upstate to improve to 22-18 overall and 15-12 in the ACC.
