COLUMBIA -- Clemson and South Carolina’s rivalry series will go to a deciding game three again after an 8-5 Gamecocks win at Segra Park on Saturday.
Since moving to a three-game, three-site format, the Palmetto State foes have gone to a winner-take-all nine times in 11 seasons. The Tigers hope they can continue some success at home in a 2 p.m. start Sunday after five wins in those matchups.
Clemson struck first Saturday after Clemson starting pitcher knocked in a run on a groundout in the first. That lead was short-lived, however, as the Gamecocks took their first edge in the weekend series in the top of the second on run-producing hits from Andrew Eyster (a triple) and Jeff Heinrich (a single).
