The third-seeded Tigers travel to Nashville to play No. 2 seed Oregon in the first round Friday at 1 p.m. No. 1 seed Vanderbilt hosts the regional and plays Xavier in the other first-round game Friday night.

The Tigers won two of three games in the ACC Tournament at Greensboro, posting victories over No. 4 seed Duke (5-3) and No. 1 seed Miami (Fla.) (3-2). Clemson’s thrilling 3-2 win over Miami on Thursday night ended on Steve Wilkerson’s walkoff single in the ninth inning. The victory was also Head Coach Jack Leggett’s 1,300th of his career, tying him for ninth place on the all-time coaching wins list.

Harrington and Maden were named 2014 All-Americans by the ITA, and finished the season with a 31-4 overall record, which ranks them first in Clemson history in single season doubles winning percentage (.886) and third in single season doubles wins (31).
