Chris Okey had seen enough.
For the first two innings Tuesday night, the Clemson Tigers resembled the Bad News Bears more than a major college baseball program. Clemson committed four of its season-high six errors in the first two-innings, staking Furman to a 10-0 lead. That’s when Okey knew he needed to step up.
After the first inning, the Clemson catcher walked up and down the dugout and spoke to every one of his teammates, trying to lift them up and get them going.
“I was just telling guys to gather their thoughts and get back to where we could play comfortable,” the catcher said.
