CHARLOTTE, NC – Erik Bakich challenged his team in the most colorful of ways Friday, and his team responded.
With Clemson trailing Louisville 6-1 in the fifth inning of Friday’s pool play contest against the Cardinals, television cameras caught Bakich in an animated conversation with his players. The win wasn’t necessary for the Tigers, but Bakich was not happy with the way his team was playing.
He was asked about the conversation during his postgame press conference.
“I don't know if that's a ‘For TV’ commentary, but basically get your head out of your butt and start competing,” Bakich said.
