The Tigers (28-25 overall, 13-13 ACC) enter the final series of the regular season against the eighth ranked Seminoles (37-16 overall, 17-10 ACC) looking to clinch a spot in the ACC tournament to continue to keep their slim chances alive at making the NCAA Tournament
The Tigers face a tough challenge at what most Clemson fans consider to be Clemson's no. 2 most hated rival behind USCjr. Both squads are led by long time head coaches Jack Leggett, who has been in charge of the Clemson baseball program since 1994, and Mike Martin, who has led the FSU baseball program since 1980.
