Tigers motivated by last season’s embarrassing end
Last year ended in bitter disappointment for the Clemson baseball program. After winning 24 of their first 31 games, the Tigers’ season tumbled down the stretch as they lost 19 of their last 30 games, including an embarrassing 9-2 loss to Jacksonville State in the NCAA Oxford (Miss.) Regional.
“It was a very humbling experience for all of us,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said.
The way in which the second half of the season transpired motivated the entire program.
“Again, this game will teach you an awful lot if you allow it to,” Lee said. “Last year was tough. It was a tough second half of the year. It was a tough summer for all of us.”
