Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, May 22-28: Clemson



Clemson (4-0 for the week)
(beat Virginia Tech, Boston College, North Carolina and Miami to win ACC Tournament)

Well, no one can accuse Clemson of peaking at the wrong time.

The Tigers rolled to the ACC Tournament championship on Sunday, blowing past Miami behind an eight-run seventh inning. It extended their winning streak to 16 games and likely solidified their role as a Top 8 national seed when the NCAA Tournament field is announced on Monday.

Coach Erik Bakich's squad was one of 16 regional hosts announced Sunday night. The Tigers have won 26 of their last 29 games to improve their record to 17-14 to 43-17, and virtually every player has been the top player in a game at some point. 

Up next for the Tigers: NCAA Regional at home next weekend..

Also considered
North Greenville (2-0) - advanced to Division II World Series.
USC Upstate (2-2) - reached Big South Tournament finals
Wofford (3-2) -  reached SoCon Tournament finals
