CLEMSON – It’s tough to look a group of young men in the eyes and tell them that their season is over, that for some of them their career might be over. Not because of what happened between the white lines, but because of circumstances out of their control.
There was no walk-off bomb. No strikeout to end the game. Just a workout and then the order to go home and wait. And waiting is sometimes the hardest part.
Clemson head coach Monte Lee endured the emotional high of his team’s 11-inning win over Winthrop Wednesday night a week ago, and then had to endure the crushing low of telling his players that their season – and for some their careers – might be over.
