CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Taylor Harbin tied a school record with three doubles as Clemson finished a three-game sweep of Miami with a 6-2 victory on Saturday.<br> <br> The Tigers (37-19) closed the regular season with nine straight victories and moved past the Hurricanes (38-15-1) into second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. It was the first time Miami was swept in a three-game series since 2002.<br> <br> Harbin led Clemson&#39;s offense, going 3-for-5 with an RBI. His three doubles gave him 28 for the season, five away from the school record set by San Diego Padres shortstop Khalil Greene in 2002.<br> <br> Harbin&#39;s double into the left field corner in the sixth scored cut Miami&#39;s lead to 2-1. Then Tyler Colvin followed with a three-run homer off Miami starter Ricky Orta (6-5) that put Clemson ahead for good, 4-2.<br> <br> Drew Fiorenza (2-1) worked 1 1-3 innings in relief for the victory. David Kopp pitched two perfect innings for his first save of the year.<br> <br> Kopp entered in the eighth with Miami runners on first and second.
