OFFICIAL FRIDAY BASEBALL THREAD: NO.6 CLEMSON vs. Duke

CUTrevor 2025-05-09 14:06:29 The Tigers have had a brutal stretch with 11 straight games against ranked teams! They need to sweep their last regular season home series this weekend and sweep Pitt on the road next week in order to lock up a top-4 seed and double-bye in the ACC Tournament. First pitch is at 6:00, and I'll have live coverage from DKS right here! Reply
