Thanks to a seven-game winning streak, Clemson moved up in the latest college baseball poll on Monday, a seven-spot jump to No. 12 by Collegiate Baseball.

Clemson’s overall record of 16-3 (5-1 ACC) is its best through 19 games since 2010, when it started 17-2. The Tigers are led at the plate by freshman outfielder Seth Beer, who is hitting .453 with nine homers, six doubles, 25 RBIs, 20 runs, a .544 on-base percentage and a national-best .969 slugging percentage in 19 games. He is also riding a 17-game hitting streak.

This past weekend saw the Tigers sweep No. 22 Boston College in three games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Beer’s walk-off home run in the 10th inning on Sunday completed the sweep. The Tiger pitching staff allowed just five runs in the series as well.

The Tigers play four games this week, beginning with a home game against Presbyterian College on Tuesday night. Clemson then travels to the Sunshine State to take on No. 5 Miami (Fla.) in a three-game series beginning Friday night on ESPN3.

Clemson is currently tied with No. 14 Florida State for first place in the ACC Atlantic Division.

The University of Florida (21-1) is ranked No.1 for the sixth straight Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I baseball poll.

The Gators, winners of 15 in a row, beat Florida St. at home and then swept a 3-game series from Missouri at home last week. Florida’s pitching staff has been superb with a 2.51 ERA, 245 strikeouts and just 51 walks (No. 3 in the USA with a 4.57 strikeout to walk ratio) over 22 games. The Gator defense has only committed 15 errors in 22 games (.982 fielding percentage).

POLL NOTES: Several teams have impressive winning streaks. Florida has won 15 in a row, South Carolina 10 straight, Missouri St. 8 consecutive, Clemson 7 in a row and U.C. Santa Barbara 6 straight.
