COLUMBIA, S.C. (The Big Spur) - South Carolina is in a familiar position winning the series-opener against Clemson, but the Gamecocks don’t always have the best luck in closing out the series with a win. The Gamecocks (5-0) have won nine of the last 11 series-opening games between the two sides dating back to 2010.
This is the last game of the weekend between the teams, and head coach Mark Kingston will turned to typical Saturday starter Brannon Jordan for the start. Jordan got a no decision in his first start of the season giving up four runs, three that were earned, in four innings pitched against Dayton.
On Thursday, the Gamecocks (3-2, 1-0) were forced to pause all team activities and postpone Saturday’s road contest against Ole Miss for the same reason.
