Clemson baseball team is on the verge of securing its first Super Regional berth since 2010 after winning a regional title. Coach Erik Bakich emphasizes the importance of finishing the job and acknowledges the support from fans. Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore praises Clemson's performance in a close game. Both teams prepare for an intense elimination game. Clemson's pitching strategy for the upcoming game remains flexible.
Clemson has followed Erik Bakich's ethos of playing loose and mentally free to a regional title. So, of course, the Tigers -- and their coach -- celebrated by jumping into the Cajun Cafe and getting a beer shower. "For me, screw it," he said. "Why not?" https://t.co/WvVxQeNmNV

Congrats to Clemson on winning a regional for the first time since 2010. Was long overdue. Pitching staff really stepped up this weekend. And congrats to Gary Gilmore on a hell of a career. Coastal’s national title run in 2016 was all-time great.
UC Irvine coach said starting pitcher had not been determined for elimination game vs. #Tulane, adding it probably would be whole staff approach.
