OFFICIAL RUBBER MATCH THREAD: CLEMSON vs. South Carolina

CUTrevor 2020-03-01 12:18:40


First pitch is at 2:00 with Spencer Strider making his 3rd start. I expect Sam Hall to get the start today at short instead of freshman Pierce Gallo, who has started the last 2 games.

Winner takes the series, and I’ll have live coverage right here!

Strider goes 1-2-3 with 2 K's swinging! He's at 49 pitches. Let's see if Monte lets him go another inning or two. Strider has been on a 50 pitch count limit in his first 2 starts.

TIGERS TRAIL 2-1 M4.

Parker leadoff single on 0-2! I think that's his first hit since being back from injury.

Ugh Hack grounds into a doubles into a double play. Inning killer!

Brewer draws a 2-out walk. He's got a good eye. Must lead the team in walks. 2 down for Hall, who walked his first time up. His first game of the series.

Ugh Hall strikes out looking.

Mat Clark starts the 5th. I guess the doctors are sticking to that 50 pitch count limit for Strider! Monte said he considers Clark a "second starter" like Askew and Raffield.

Parker walks! 2 on with no outs for Hack. Let's see if Monte has him sac bunt! Hack has been in this situation before this season, and Monte let him swing away. I think he struck out!

New pitcher for Scar.

Hack lays down a perfect bunt for a single! Bases juiced with no outs for Brewer, who's walked twice today!

CUTrevor 2020-03-01 14:56:28


Good grief on a dying quail by Brewer to shallow left, the left fielder dropped the ball but was able to throw the runner out at home. Then Brewer was called out as well on the play for crossing paths with Hackenberg! Bizarre play and an absolute inning killer! 2nd and 3rd now with 2 outs for Hall, who struck out last time.

CUTrevor 2020-03-01 14:57:28


Ugh Hall strikes out to strand em at 2nd and 3rd. His second straight K. What an opportunity lost! They should have at least tied the game and probably taken the lead.
