The Gamecocks open the 2017 baseball season on Friday, February 17th when they host the UNCG Spartans at Founders Park. South Carolina will remain at home through the rest of February before going on the road to Clemson on March 3rd. The second game of the Carolina-Clemson series will be at Fluor Field in Greenville on March 4th, followed by the series finale in Columbia on Sunday March 5th.
Other notable non-conference opponents this year include Wright State, Michigan State, and Kansas State. The Gamecocks will also play UNC in Charlotte for the second consecutive year. Though the Gamecocks have several SC schools on their schedule, including home-and-home series with both Furman and the Citadel, they will not face the defending national champion, Coastal Carolina.
