How to watch Clemson vs. South Carolina baseball
It’s almost time for the Clemson-South Carolina baseball series.
The No. 10 Tigers and No. 19 Gamecocks are set to play their annual rivalry series this weekend.
With both teams qualifying for the NCAA Tournament last year and ranking among D1Baseball’s top 20 teams this season, it’ll be an emotional, high-stakes series played out across three venues in three days.
South Carolina won last year’s series by winning back-to-back games in Greenville and Columbia (a decisive 7-1 rubber match) after losing the opener at Clemson.
The Gamecocks, who reached their first NCAA Super Regional since 2018 last year, are led by seventh-year coach Mark Kingston. The Tigers are in their second season under coach Erik Bakich, who guided Clemson to a No. 4 national seed and NCAA regional appearance.
Here’s everything you need to know about this weekend’s Clemson-USC baseball series, including streaming information.
