Lee compares Clemson-South Carolina rivalry to Yankees-Red Sox

CLEMSON – The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are a part of the most heated rivalry in all of baseball, but Clemson head coach Monte Lee thinks Clemson and South Carolina are a close second.

The arch-rivals renew acquaintances this weekend with bragging rights on the line. Clemson has won each of the last three regular-season series against South Carolina with a 2-1 record. The teams start the series Friday night in Columbia, move to Greenville’s Fluor Field on Saturday and play the series finale Sunday at Clemson.

Clemson is the designated home team and will occupy the first-base dugout for Saturday’s game at Fluor Field.
