April 26th
1985 - The Gamecocks routed Clemson 14-2 thanks to jumping on Tiger pitcher Jerome Santivasci early and often. The Tigers actually took the lead in the first 2-0, but Carolina responded with three solo home runs in the bottom of the first as Rob Rinehart, Joe Datin and Charlie Aldrich all hit solo homers and Jeff Churchich slammed a three-run shot for a 6-2 lead. USC pitcher Mike Cook made that lead stand up by giving up just one hit after the first inning, while Datin and Aldrich struck again later with back to back home runs in the fourth inning.
