Bakich Calls Out College Baseball Umpires

Erik Bakich was not a fan of Coastal Carolina head coach Kevin Schnall being ejected in the first inning of the College World Series championship series on Sunday.

Umpire Angel Campos ejected Schall, as well as Chanticleers’ first base coach Matt Schilling, for arguing balls and strikes extremely early in the contest. If that name sounds familiar to Clemson fans, it should. He is the same umpire who ejected Cam Cannarella in the Tigers’ extra innings loss to Tennessee during the Clemson regional in 2023.

Bakich appeared on SportsTalk with host Phil Kornblut on Tuesday, and the head coach didn’t hold back when asked about his feelings regarding Schall’s ejection.
