CLEMSON – Head baseball coach Erik Bakich is rallying Clemson fans to help out a Tiger family in need.
Bakich, set to enter his fourth season with the Tigers, took to his Instagram story Wednesday morning to raise support for freshman pitcher Jake Morris and his family after they suffered a tragedy Monday.
“Two days ago, Clemson baseball pitcher Jake Morris and his family experienced the unfortunate tragedy of their home burning down,” Bakich said, accompanied by a picture of the remains of the home.
Morris moved into Clemson only a few months ago after a standout high school career at Lugoff-Elgin, 30 miles northeast of Columbia.
