1994 - Mac White and Rob DeBoer homer to stake USC starter Jason Haynie to a 4-0 lead and the #20 Gamecocks held on to beat fourth ranked Clemson in Clemson for the first time since 1985. DeBoer's two-run homer off future MLB pitcher Billy Koch in the third gave Haynie a cushion early. Second baseman Stacy Stokes drove in a run in the fifth and White's solo homer in the seventh provided a much needed insurance run as the Tigers rallied to score three in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Craig Ross on a two-out, three-run home run. Ross closed out the game by getting a ground out on the next batter.
