Miami baseball: Jim Morris’ career ends with 7-1 loss to Clemson
It seemed like he was going to get out of the inning after Warton’s home run. He struck out designated hitter Justin Hawkins and leftfielder Drew Hall. Singles by Jordan Gr3ene and Logan Davidson ended the night for Bargfeldt. Cooper Hammond replaced the Miami lefthander.
Bargfeldt allowed six hits, five walk and four earned runs in 5.2 innings. Two of the runs were charged to Bargfeldt after Hammond allowed the singles to Beer and Wilkie. Frankie Bartow eventually replaced Hammond and gave up the three-run home run.

The biggest question mark from the loss to Clemson was Morris’ decision to start Bargfeldt over Sophomore Evan McKendry. McKendry dominated Clemson earlier this season in his one start against the Tigers. He allowed one run on six hits in a complete game victory against the Tigers.
It was Bargfeldt’s turn in the rotation and he’s a Senior, but McKendry had the better season. McKendry did not pitch in the ACC Tournament after being named third team All-ACC this season.
Clemson scored first in the second inning when a Jordan Greene groundout scored Wharton. Miami answered in the fourth. A Dylan Cloonan triple down the first base line scored Michael Burns.
The Hurricanes battled but were never able to push across another run. That has been the story of the last two seasons. A lack of offense and injuries were their downfall.
