Another week in the 2026 college baseball calendar came and went with the Clemson Tigers still mired in a slump.
The Tigers (19-10 overall, 2-7 conference) fell to Coastal Carolina, 11-9, in midweek play at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Tuesday after surrendering a 9-3 lead after six innings. Clemson then dropped two of three at home to the Miami Hurricanes (21-7, 4-5) in ACC play with Saturday's 8-6 loss in the series finale.
Clemson rallied from a 3-0 deficit Friday night to send the game into extra innings before Miami erupted for five runs in the 10th inning of an 8-3 victory. Tryston McCladdie and the Tigers' bats answered Saturday with a 7-6 victory. McCladdie clubbed two home runs, and Nate Savoie added his 10th blast of the season.
But Miami prevailed in Saturday's finale despite a late rally from Clemson, which fell behind 8-2 in the seventh inning. McCladdie had his second straight three-hit game, and Jacob Jarrell finished with three hits, including his team-leading 12th home run.
Since its 15-1 start to the season, Clemson has now lost nine of its last 13 games after a 1-3 week against Miami and Coastal Carolina.
Here's a look at the complete 1-25 rankings in this week's USA TODAY Sports Baseball Coaches Poll.
No. 18 Ole Miss; No. 21 Tennessee;

Clemson will face Wake Forest (20-8, 6-6) at Truist Field in Charlotte on Wednesday. The Deacs received 33 votes for top 25 consideration in Monday's new Coaches Poll, the fifth most of any team outside the rankings. First pitch for Clemson-Wake Forest is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.
The Tigers then visit Stanford (13-13, 3-6) for a three-game series beginning Friday. All three games of the series will be available to watch on ACC Network Extra.
