The South Carolina Gamecocks, fresh off a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over Appalachian State, now turn their attention to the most exciting part of their non-conference schedule: the annual rivalry showdown against the Clemson Tigers.
Clemson is off to a sparkling 8-0 start this season, having most recently dispatched USC Upstate 8-5 on Tuesday with a rally of their own, although the Tigers have yet to leave the friendly confines of Doug Kingsmore Stadium and have not played a particularly challenging schedule. Cooper Ingle paces the Clemson offense, hitting .469 with 12 RBIs, while Caden Grice has three home runs and 11 RBIs — and has pitched an inning, too.
