The South Carolina Gamecocks recently faced off against their in-state rivals, the Clemson Tigers, in a three-game series. Unfortunately, the Gamecocks were swept by the Tigers, with the final game ending in an 8-2 loss for South Carolina.
The Gamecocks’ offense struggled throughout the series, scoring only six runs over the three games. In the final game, South Carolina’s Dylan Eskew pitched six innings of one-run ball, but the bullpen surrendered seven runs over the final three innings, allowing Clemson to break the game open [3).
South Carolina’s head coach, Paul Mainieri, expressed frustration with his team’s offensive struggles. “We just got to get more out of each guy,” Mainieri said. “We got to get runners on base, we got to get them over, and then we got to figure out a way to get them in too”.¹
The Gamecocks will look to bounce back from the sweep as they take on Davidson in a midweek game on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network Plus.
