Tigers seal crucial series sweep of No. 21 Jackets with five HRs, build tourney resume

CLEMSON - Clemson baseball’s record after 45 games didn’t leave much room for error with making the ACC Baseball Championship field – much less avoiding a second consecutive missed NCAA Tournament.

One dominant weekend sweep this time of year can change the equation, however, and the Tigers notched just that with the 14-2 series-capping victory over No. 21-ranked Georgia Tech (27-21, 13-14 ACC) at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Sunday.

All-totaled, the Clemson lineup blasted 35 runs on the scoreboard to make things easier on its own pitching staff over the weekend.

The comfy lead Sunday came on the strength of five home runs in the first five innings.
