Following a 5-1 loss to No. 13 Clemson on Saturday, South Carolina head coach Paul Mainieri spoke to the media in Greenville. Here’s everything he had to say. What did you think of the outing from Jake McCoy today?

The idea that tensions would rise to that extreme between himself and current Clemson coach Erik Bakich seems impossible to Mainieri. Though the first-year USC coach admitted he didn’t know Bakich much, they have a great mutual friend in East Carolina coach Cliff Godwin, who has always said great things about Bakich, his former college teammate.

Clemson baseball continued its hot start and clinched a series win over South Carolina and Mainieri with a 5-1 victory at Fluor Field in Greenville on Saturday. The No. 13 Tigers, who won 5-3 in Clemson a day earlier, went up two games to none in the rivalry series heading into Sunday’s finale at Founders Park in Columbia.
