Tigers post first losing regular season since 1957

Duke swept Clemson with a 4-2 win at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Saturday to secure its eight straight win and second straight sweep over the Tigers on the diamond.

The Blue Devils knocked off Clemson thanks to a pair of two-run homers including one in the top of the ninth with two outs by Chase Cheek to give them the 4-2 lead.

The Tigers finished the regular season 24-26 overall and 16-20 in the ACC.

This marks the first time the Tigers have finished the regular season below .500 since Bob Smith’s 1957 team finished the season 6-12 and Clemson Athletic Director Frank Howard brought on Bill Wilhelm to lead the program.
