Clemson Tigers News: Baseball loses a heartbreaker to Georgia and this time you can blame the umps

Clemson Baseball loses in 15 innings to Georgia

Clemson Baseball traveled to Athens on Tuesday for a tough midweek game against the Georgia Bulldogs.

To no one’s surprise, it was a competitive matchup and ended up going to extra innings.
Late in the evening, the Bulldogs were able to plate a run and they emerged victorious 4-3.

While Georgia deserves credit for the outstanding effort in gutting out the victory, the reality is that it never should have advanced that far. The Tigers were robbed of a home run by Jarren Purify that could have put Clemson clear and finished the game in nine innings.

Here is a video clip of the home run ball as it passes the left field foul ball marker.

Based on an informal canvassing of responses on X, the only people who think that ball was foul are Georgia fans, South Carolina fans, or the families of the umpires who blew the call.

I’m not your typical blame the officials/umpires, but we should blame the umps for this one. The Tigers got hosed.
