OXFORD, Miss. — The realization that his Clemson career was over stung as Grayson Byrd sat at the podium following Clemson’s 9-2 loss to Jacksonville State Sunday in an elimination game at the Oxford (Miss.) Regional.
“It hurts, you know,” the senior said. “I have had a blast playing for Clemson. I think I am going to go home and look up how I can get a sixth year somehow. I don’t know if there is a loophole there, but I have had a blast. So, this hurts. It is tough. That is all I can say.”
Byrd’s last game at Clemson ended with a 0-for-4 day at the plate.
