COLUMBIA — It was not perfect night for Clemson in Columbia on Friday, but it was pretty close.
The Tigers hit three 2-run home runs and got a flawless pitching performance from starter Sam Weatherly as Clemson beat rival South Carolina 7-1 at Founders Park in Columbia.
Weatherly pitched seven hitless innings in blanking the Gamecocks, while striking out 11 batters and walking just three.
Clemson center fielder Bryce Teodosio kept Weatherly’s no-hitter alive in the bottom of the seven inning, when he made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch before hitting the centerfield wall, robbing George Callil of a sure double.
