After the first four innings provided very little action in Clemson’s 7-2 victory over No. 14 South Carolina Tuesday, the fifth inning provide a lot of drama.
First Wes Clarke hit a solo home run to right field in the top of the inning for the Gamecocks, and the Tigers responded with three runs on just one hit in the bottom frame. The big break for the Tigers came when USC pitcher Daniel Lloyd threw the baseball in the dirt while trying to throw out Max Wagner at third base, on a Sam Hall bunt attempt with one out.
