Seven of the eight teams participating in the 2009 ACC Baseball Championship in Durham May 20-24 have been determined. Boston College claimed the seventh spot Thursday with its win over North Carolina, the first championship appearance for the Eagles since joining the league. Florida State, which clinched the Atlantic Division for the third straight year, and Clemson also earned spots out of the Atlantic Division along with Boston College. Five teams will enter the championship from the Coastal Division. Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia and Miami have already secured spots, while Duke and Virginia Tech are battling for the final berth in their play this weekend.

I sure hope so, but this team has been very inconsistent.
Also we need to win by big leads because close games have not been good to us. Of Clemson's 17 losses, I believe something like 14 of them were lost with a tie or a 1- or 2-point lead in the 9th.
