In a dramatic turn of events during the Clemson-Florida baseball game, Clemson's head coach Erik Bakich and former head coach Jack Leggett were both ejected following a controversial decision by the umpires. The ejections occurred after Clemson's Alden Mathes hit a go-ahead home run in the 13th inning, leading to a 10-9 lead for Clemson. The incident, which involved a bat flip by Mathes during a celebration, resulted in a lengthy delay and subsequent suspension of both coaches for the next two games. Earlier, Clemson’s Jack Crigjton was also ejected after a group huddle among the umpires. The decision has sparked significant reactions, with many questioning the umpires' impact on the game.
