Head coach Mark Kingston is still new at South Carolina, but one thing he’s already learned is that Carolina-Clemson is a very big deal. He referred to it this week as “the greatest rivalry in college baseball” and praised the series unique format. Kingston knows how important this series is to both the fans and the players and how much emotion will be involved as South Carolina fights to come out of this weekend with a rivalry win.
A South Carolina series win feels especially important this season both in the context of the season itself and in the overall rivalry series.
