South Carolina’s usually reliable bullpen was anything but Saturday afternoon as Clemson scored six runs in the final three innings on its way to an 8-7 win over USC at Fluor Field in Greenville.
The victory by the Tigers evens the series at a game apiece with Game 3 scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 1:30 in Columbia.
The Gamecocks led 5-2 entering the seventh when Andrew Cox drove in a run with a double and Grayson Byrd hit a sac fly to cut the lead to 5-4.
Chase Pinder’s single to center in the eighth inning tied the game at 5 before the Tigers grabbed control in the ninth.
