The Clemson Tigers' baseball team capped off a perfect week of play on Sunday evening with a sweep of their ACC foe — the Cal Golden Bears. A 4-3 win in Berkeley, Calif., secured the in-conference sweep, and moved their winning streak to five games.

This comes after the Tigers stumbled a bit last week, dropping two of their five matchups to lower-ranked opponents.

Despite the minor setback, though, Clemson came into this week firing on all cylinders.

They beat the Georgia Southern Eagles by a score of 10-8 in a mid-week away game before heading out west and taking the first two games against the Golden Bears. The Tigers won the first game on Friday by a score of 6-4, before run-ruling Cal on Saturday afternoon by a score of 13-3.

This latest win helps them keep pace atop the ACC standings heading into a difficult stretch in the coming weeks. As things currently stand, Clemson is tied with the Florida State Seminoles at the top of the conference, with four other teams all within a game of first place.

Clemson, who D1Baseball currently has ranked as the No. 6 team in the country, is heading into the toughest stretch of their schedule during the next two weeks.

The Tigers are currently slated to play several ranked opponents in that time frame, including two pivotal ranked showdowns against both the aforementioned Seminoles and the Louisville Cardinals.

Holding serve atop the ACC standings heading into these crucial matchups will be key if the Tigers want to have a hope at defending their regular season conference crown. It also goes a long way in showing those at the top of the sport that Clemson is still an Omaha-caliber squad.

With so much riding on the next few weeks for both the Tigers as a team, and the ACC as a whole, capping off the west coast trip with a sweep of a lesser conference foe was crucial at this juncture.

In doing so, Clemson has set themselves up in a great position moving forward. Now in an advantageous position heading down the back half of their season, they will have to fend off a deep pack of contenders.
