Streak busters! Gamecocks blow out Clemson, take rivalry series
A helmet bump, then a step into a sea of garnet jerseys.
The scene played out three times Sunday at Founders Park, the surest sign of which team was dominating the rubber game of the 2019 South Carolina-Clemson rivalry.
The Gamecocks made a habit of home run celebrations en route to their 14-3 pounding of the Tigers before a sold-out crowd of 8,242. USC flexed its way to its first series win over Clemson since 2014.
Luke Berryhill went 3-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs and T.J. Hopkins went 4-for-5 with a homer, double and four RBIs. The Gamecocks (9-2) totaled 17 hits, their most against Clemson (7-3) in over a decade.
