Michael Sharman pitched a four-hit complete game and Nate Savoie hit a three-run homer as Clemson (9-1) evened its series with South Carolina (7-4) at Segra Park. Sharman threw 78 pitches, 67 of them strikes.

USC's run came in the third inning. Will Craddock had a two-out  double and scored on Ethan Lizama's single.

The Tigers answered in the bottom of the inning. Ty Dalley and Jarren Purify singled and were bunted over by Tryston McCladdie. Savoie followed with his blast to left field to provide all the scoring Clemson needed behind Sharman.

The final run scored in the fourth when Jacob Jarrell came in on Purify's bases-loaded sacrifice fly.

Carolina, meanwhile, was swinging early and getting little to show for it.
