CLEMSON - In a series that featured, in all likelihood, one of the worst losses in head coach Erik Bakich’s career, as well as the program’s 3,000th victory, there is plenty that can be taken away from the No. 8-ranked Tigers’ series win over Kennesaw State, which was bookended by an 18-1 defeat and a 7-2 win. Despite the “embarrassing” performance Friday, as Bakich put it, he maintains this series will be a good victory for this group.
“This will end up being a nice series win for us, and that’s a good club and just really proud of the way we played (Sunday), especially the bounce-back start that (freshman right-handed pitcher) Aidan (Knaak) had after last weekend didn’t really go his way and then today, he showed what he’s capable of,” Bakich said.
