The University of South Carolina defeated Clemson University 4-3 to advance to the National Championship Series. This was the second victory in as many games for the Gamecocks over their in-state rival Tigers.
Prior to this two game series, Clemson was 2-0 in Omaha for the year. They only needed one win against the Gamecocks to play for the national championship. Remarkably, this was the same scenario both teams faced here in 2002. USC won two then also.
I heard someone say after the game to party like it was 2002. For the Gamecock’s sake, I hope they don’t. They lost the championship game that year to Texas.
