COLUMBIA – Clemson ran out of pitching against the homer-happy Gamecocks Sunday.
South Carolina homered three times against a depleted Clemson pitching staff and the Tigers left nine runners on base and struck out nine times as the Gamecocks captured the season series with a 7-1 victory Sunday afternoon at Founders Park.
The Tigers won the first game of the series but the Gamecocks won game two in Greenville Saturday and in Columbia Sunday to win the series two games to one. The Tigers were without Friday starter Ryan Ammons this weekend, and Caden Grice was a choice to take the mound Sunday in Columbia but he was ejected from Saturday’s game after arguing balls and strikes and was forced to sit out Sunday’s game.
