OFFICIAL SATURDAY PALMETTO SERIES THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.23 South Carolina

CUTrevor 2023-03-04 09:13:33


The Tigers took game one last night 5-2! Great job by Gordon against one of the top offenses in the nation. Ingle took the first pitch from the Gamecocks out to left for his team-leading 3rd HR of the season. Freshman Cam Cannarella continued his hitting tear, going 3-4 at the plate. He is now batting .459, and has hit safely in all 9 games to start his career! Sophomore Gavin Abrams hit a late pinch-hit solo HR. He has just 2 at bats this season, both of them pinch-hits, and he's 2-2!

The Tigers' starting pitcher will be a game-time decision. First pitch is at 1:00, and I'll have live coverage from Greenville right here!

We’re almost underway on a beautiful day here in Greenville! Outstanding crowd! Tristan Smith will get his first start on the mound, and Gavin Abrams will make his first career start at DH. He is 2-2 this season, both pinch hits, and hit a homer late last night.

Ugh Blake Wright squibs one that he probably should have legged out, but he's out at 1st. Would have been a perfect bunt!

Ugh Smith hits a batter with 2 outs and gives up a full count walk. Bakich is leaving him in. Hope he can get one more out for the win! Gordon came an out short of the win last night.

Good grief Smith gives up another walk on full count to load the bases. Joe Allen comes in from the pen with 2 outs. All 3 runners were issued free passes with 2 outs!

Reply

WHEW!!! Tigers dodge a major bullet! Wild pitch should have scored a run, but Ingle made a great throw to Allen for the out at the plate! Game changer!

Sorry, guys, the internet here is terrible!


We are tied 3-3 here after the Tigers gave up 3 runs in the 6th. Taylor made a great play, banging off the wall in left to save 2 more runs, though!

Good grief Reid starts rhe 7th and gives up a single, a wild pitch and a n error. After he walks the bases loaded with one out, Dill comes in from the pen and gives up a sac fly and a 3-run HR! Just like that, the Gamecocks have their first lead of the game 8-7.

Good grief Dill hots a batter with one out and then gives up a double off the monster for an insurance run. Walks and hit batters killed them during that 4-game losing streak, and it’s gonna cost them a win today! Tigers trail 9-7 with one out.

Ugh 2-run bomb over the monster makes it 11-7. This one is about over.

Ugh Abrams grounds out to end the game.


TIGERS LOSE 11-9.


Crazy game! In the end, walks and hit batters were the difference. Tigers had just 3 last night but 10 today, and they cost them several runs. That’s what plagued them during the 4-game losing streak last week and it but them again today.

The loss snapped a 5-game win streak over the Gamecocks. Rubber match is 1:30 tomorrow Cola! I’ll have post-game interviews posted shortly.
