Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, May 23-29: Clemson

Clemson (4-0 for the week)
(won the ACC Tournament)

Do I even need to explain why?

OK.

The Tigers:

* won their pool in the ACC Tournament
* demolished Florida State in the championship game
* stretched their winning streak to nine games
* almost certainly nailed down a regional host spot
* moved into serious contention to be one of the top eight national seeds.

Not a bad week.
