GREENVILLE – Monte Lee preaches the “free 90” to his offense, saying that walks, hit batters and reaching on errors leads to winning baseball games. That was in full effect Saturday.

South Carolina pitchers walked 10 Clemson hitters and the Tigers got a stellar relief appearance from Ryan Miller in defeating South Carolina 5-1 Saturday afternoon at Fluor Field in Greenville. The win evened the Palmetto Series rivalry with the Gamecocks at a game apiece. The finale will be played Sunday at 2 p.m. in Clemson.

A crowd of 7,385 saw the contest, the third-largest in Fluor Field history and second-largest in the rivalry. Clemson improves to 8-1 on the season and South Carolina falls to 7-4.

Patrick Cromwell drove in two runs and Logan Davidson walked three times to pace the Clemson attack. Miller pitched the final four innings in picking up the save.
