OXFORD, Miss — For a ninth straight year, Clemson failed to advance out of an NCAA Baseball Regional.
The Tigers’ latest failure came in Oxford, Mississippi, where they were eliminated by Jacksonville State, 9-2, in Game 5 of the Oxford Regional at Swayze Field on Sunday. It is the earliest the program has been eliminated from the NCAA Tournament under head coach Monte Lee, who just wrapped up his fourth year.
A proud program that at one point advanced to the Super Regional Round of the NCAA Tournament nine times in the first 12 years (1999-2010) after the NCAA moved to its current format, Clemson now can’t get out of its own way.
