CLEMSON – Clemson’s players and coaches stood on the first base line, locked arm in arm, following the Tigers’ 12-5 victory over Coastal Carolina Sunday night, singing the alma mater and celebrating a trip to the Super Regionals, when Erik Bakich nudged senior third baseman Blake Wright.
“We’re going to the Cajun Café, and we’re jumping up there,” Bakich told Wright, and as soon as the song ended, Tiger players and coaches sprinted to the right field wall and celebrated with the fans in the Cajun Café. The celebration was reminiscent of wins over Oral Roberts and Alabama in years past, but this celebration seemed different.
