An open wound provided fuel during the offseason for Clemson baseball.
Clemson advanced to its first Super Regional since 2010 last season but lost to Florida in an electric and hotly contested series in June. As the Tigers watched the Gators celebrate a trip to Omaha on the field at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, the wound opened. And it has stayed open.
“I think every season that doesn't end the way you want it to leaves a little bit of an open wound and a scar and you learn from it and grow from it,” head coach Erik Bakich said “So yeah, I think our guys, it's a very fresh taste in their mouth still and has fueled a lot of our offseason training and fuels our preseason training to take that next step and not fall short.
