South Carolina held a 2-1 lead entering the second inning, but was shut down over the middle innings of the game by Tigers reliever Mat Clark.
Both teams missed opportunities to score -- Clemson loaded the bases with none out in the sixth , but failed to score because of some baserunning misadventures -- and the Gamecocks' failure to capitalize came back to cost them.
Control problems by relievers and sloppy defense contributed to Carolina's undoing, with James Parker's two-run double breaking a 2-2 tie.
Sam Weatherly, who struck out 11 in seven no-hit innings in Friday's series opener, received the Bob Bradley Award as the Clemson series MVP. Andrew Eyster took the Tom Price Award as the series MVP for Carolina.
