Gamecocks Turn The Tables On Tigers

GREENVILLE, S.C. — After two games, the story of the South Carolina-Clemson series has been all about squandered opportunities—or pitchers showing composure under duress, depending on your perspective. And each team has experienced each perspective.

On Friday night, South Carolina loaded the bases in the fifth and sixth innings and had to settle for one run in those two critical frames, as Clemson lefthanders Matthew Crownover and Alex Schnell made big pitches in tight spots and the Gamecocks committed a costly baserunning mistake, thwarting their comeback bids.
