Clemson drops third straight conference series, falling to Duke in Sunday rubber match

CLEMSON - The Tigers have had to wait for nearly a month to claim another series victory.

That wait will continue.

Clemson (38-15, 15-12 ACC) has now lost three straight ACC series, falling to Duke (35-16, 16-11 ACC) on Sunday in the rubber match, 8-4.

Like they did on Saturday, the Tigers pounced on Duke early with two runs in the second inning. Josh Paino and Dominic Listi recorded early hits to land on second and third.

Jacob Jarrell and Luke Gaffney would reward those efforts. Jarrell's groundout to second was enough to get Paino home on third, allowing Listi to creep closer to adding another run.
