CLEMSON – As the temperatures rise, so too does the level of anticipation in the Clemson baseball camp.
“We can feel it,” new Clemson coach Erik Bakich said. “The season’s almost here. For a lot of reasons we’re really excited to help return Clemson baseball to where it belongs – on top of college baseball.”
Bakich, who was named just the fourth Clemson baseball coach since 1958 last June, will make his debut at 4 p.m. Friday when the Tigers host the first game of a three-game series against Binghamton (N.Y.) University.
A former graduate assistant at Clemson, Bakich served as an assistant at Vanderbilt before becoming head coach at Maryland and then Michigan.
