Mat Clark was the difference-maker for Clemson in its 5-2 win over South Carolina Sunday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
Clark’s three innings of work with only one hit and four punch outs earned Clemson its fifth series win over its in-state rival in the past six years. Clark kept the Gamecocks at bay, ultimately setting the stage for Carson Spiers to come in and shut the game down in the eighth inning.
Clark, a junior out of Charleston, has taken on a new role so far for the Tigers this season.
