For the first time in his 11-year career as a head coach, Monte Lee was not in the dugout for Clemson’s 10-2 victory over Gardner-Webb Saturday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
Instead, Lee served a one-game suspension due to the events that occurred in the latter stages of their win last Sunday at Georgia Tech. The Tigers’ head coach was suspended along with pitchers Sam Weatherly and Holt Jones, after all three were ejected.
A warning was issued by the home-plate umpire to both teams in the fifth inning at Georgia Tech last Sunday. Weatherly and Jones, who both entered the game after the seventh inning, were ejected in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively.
