Following an 8-2 loss to No. 13 Clemson on Sunday, South Carolina head coach Paul Mainieri met with the media. Here’s everything he had to say after the Gamecocks were swept by the Tigers this weekend.

Paul Mainieri stood on the grass of Fluor Field in Greenville Saturday — having already lost his first Palmetto State series before every even facing Clemson at home — and sounded like a man who lost his wallet and was prepared to trek through a sewer if that’s what was needed.

South Carolina and Clemson reengage in their annual rivalry baseball series beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday. Three games in three days in three ballparks.
