Following last Saturday’s loss to South Carolina in 11 innings at Greenville’s Fluor Field, a post appeared on several social media platforms showing pitcher Geoffrey Gilbert standing by himself during Clemson’s alma mater.
The photo caused an uproar in the Clemson Community on social media. So bad in fact, Tigers’ head coach Monte Lee took a few minutes following Tuesday’s 7-3 win over East Tennessee State to address why the rest of the team did not join Gilbert in honoring the Clemson Alma Mater.
“I just want to make sure folks understand out there that we respect the alma mater, and we respect our school tremendously,” Lee said.
