Coach Tanner Gets 900th Career Win!

Our South Carolina Gamecock's defeated the Clemson Tigers today for the second time this weekend in a 5-1 game in Clemson, South Carolina. The game started off slow with 5 scoreless innings. Carolina earned two runs in the top of the sixth with hits by Kyle Enders, Justin Hopper, Scott Wingo, and Reese Havens. With two outs in the bottom part of the 6th, the Tigers' Ben Paulsen capitalized on a overthrown ball by third baseman James Darnell by scoring from first base. This would be the Tigers only run of the game.
The Gamecocks went on to score another run in the 7th and two in the 9th. Blake Cooper looked great on the mound for the Gamecocks. Working 6 innings, he only allowed one unearned run.
Carolina's next game is Tuesday, March 4th at 7 pm against Gardner Webb in Columbia, SC.
