RALEIGH, N.C. — Coming into the weekend series at NC State, the Clemson baseball team was positioned extremely well in the race for one of those crucial top eight seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
The second-ranked Tigers came in having won nine of 11, including taking two out of three from a Top 20 Louisville team, and shutting out No. 10 Georgia in midweek action.
However, that momentum came to a screeching halt in Raleigh, with No. 25 NC State not only sweeping Clemson but also doing it in rather dominating fashion.
With his team having lost four of its past five games, Erik Bakich is hoping that a few weeks from now, his team can look back on this weekend and view it as a turning point.
