1:25 - Count on Ray Tanner to spring a couple of surprises with the lineup. Here is today's starting lineup:

Merrifield - 3B (.351)
Bradley Jr. - CF (.615)
Jones - DH (.318)
Enders - 2 (.448)
Ebert - 1B (.143)
Matthews - RF (.259)
Beary - LF (.310)
Morales - 2B (.333)
Wingo - SS (.375)

P - Tyler Webb (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 8.2 IP, 7 hits, 9 K, 1 BB, .226 OBA)

Christian Walker and Bobby Haney, the starting left side of the infield essentially, has been benched for today's game. However, I expect Walker will be used at some point today either as a PH or position player.

Clemson's Batting Order:
Epps - 8
Freeman - 4
Schaus - 7
Parker - 9
Boyd - DH
Shaffer - 3
Miller - 6
Nester - 2
Stolz - 5

P - Scott Weismann (1-0, 2.89 ERA. 9.1 IP, 11 hits, 10 K, 1 BB, .289 OBA)

12:30 - We're live from Carolina Stadium for Sunday's Game 3 between USC and Clemson at Carolina Stadium. First pitch at 2 p.m. The weather is beautiful. Partly sunny skies right now with temps in the high 60's forecasted. USC is taking batting practice right now. This should be another close, hard fought affair between the Gamecocks and Tigers. 4-3 and 7-5 have been the final scores of ther first two games. Both games have been decided in the late innings. Fr. LHP Tyler Webb will make his second career start for USC today. He is scheduled to be opposed by Scott Weismann, a RHP from Massachusetts. The crowd should be filing in shortly. USC has finished BP with Clemson ready to take the field. We should have the lineups within 30 to 45 minutes.
