CLEMSON – Clemson dropped in the three major college baseball polls released Monday after opening the season with a 2-1 series win against Richmond over the weekend.

Clemson stumbled Friday in the season opener losing 10-5 to Richmond, but then rebounded against the Spiders to claim a 14-4 win on Saturday and a 7-3 victory on Sunday.

The team will head to Las Vegas, NV later this week for a two-game series with UNLV Thursday and Friday and a three-game series with Oregon State Friday through Sunday. The Tigers’ next home game is Wednesday, Feb. 28 against Furman at 3:00 PM.
