Clemson baseball’s place in Top 10 after weekend sweep |
Clemson baseball maintained its Top 10 standing after the opening weekend.
In the national polls, Baseball America kept the Clemson at No. 9 and D1Baseball kept Erik Bakich’s Tigers at No. 10 after a weekend sweep of Xavier. “The Tigers this weekend cruised to a series sweep of Xavier. They scored double-digit runs twice and received contributions from nearly everyone in the lineup. Most notably, 2023 ACC freshman of the year Cam Cannarella went 7-for-13 and infielder Blake Wright went 6-for-14. On the bump, Billy Barlow (5 IP, 0 ER) and Tristan Smith (4 IP, 1 ER) each turned in strong starts and a handful of bullpen arms had spotless appearances,” said Baseball America. The Tigers return to action on Tuesday versus Presbyterian College (4 pm/ACCNX). Clemson then hosts Kennesaw State on the weekend before next week’s three-site rivalry series with South Carolina. Baseball America has the Gamecocks ranked No. 12. Wake Forest is the unanimous No. 1 still after a 3-0 weekend. Clemson in the polls Baseball America: 9 D1Baseball: 10 Perfect Game: 18 NCBWA: 8
