OFFICIAL SUNDAY PALMETTO SERIES THREAD: NO.7 CLEMSON at South Carolina

CUTrevor 2025-03-02 12:39:13


The Tigers won the first two game, scoring 5 runs in each, and will go for the sweep at 5:00 in Columbia. Justin LeGuernic had a rough first start against Ole Miss in the Tigers' only loss, but he bounced back well last Sunday.

As always, I'll have live coverage from Cola right here!

Good afternoon from Founders Park! As I expected, McCladdie is back in the starting lineup in place of Ciufo. I wrote yesterday that I was surprised Ciufo was starting instead of McCladdie. The former has had a miserable hitting slump to start the season. He made a couple great plays yesterday at short though!

Weather is sunny and not too windy, but it's going to get chilly when the sun goes down!

Good grief Purify should have had a double play to end the inning, but he threw it wild to 1st. Run scores to make it 4-2. Fortunately, they got runner interference to end the inning.



TIGERS LEAD 4-2 HEADED TO THE 9TH.

CUTrevor 2025-03-02 18:28:06


Bakich is still on the field arguing with the umps. He feels that there should have been interference on the slide before Purify threw the ball errantly to 1st, in which case the run would not have counted. He loses the argument though.

TIGERS SWEEP 8-2!!!


3rd sweep in 4 years over the Gamecocks! Darden was named Bob Bradley MVP, although I voted for Cam. I said that I would vote for Darden if Cam didn't get a hit with 2 outs in the 9th, but Cam did, which led to an 8-2 lead rather than 4-2. Cam also had the big double yesterday for the first run of the game and scored the second run from 2nd base with great base running. He had 2 hits on Friday as well. But I am fine with Darden winning it. He was magnificent on the mound yesterday!

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly!
