Clemson Baseball's Second Round ACC Tournament Opponent Is Now Set

The Clemson Tigers baseball team is set to open their quest for an ACC Tournament title on Wednesday afternoon, where they'll take on the Virginia Tech Hokies in a second-round matchup in Durham, N.C.

The matchup was finalized on Tuesday afternoon when the 12th-seeded Hokies knocked off the 13th-seeded Stanford Cardinal by a final score of 7-4 in their first-round contest.

The Tigers, who received a much-needed first-round bye in the tournament by virtue of their fifth seed, will be looking to continue building upon the momentum they gathered at the end of the regular season with their three-game sweep over the California Golden Bears.

The two teams have yet to face off thus far this season, but Clemson has been the better team all year. Virginia Tech entered the tournament unranked, holding a 30-24 overall record, which included a 12-18 mark in conference play.

This will mark the first time since the 2023 regular season that the Tigers have met the Hokies, and it will be the 82nd meeting between the two sides with Clemson leading the all-time series 53-26-2.
