Someday soon, the Reedy River Rivalry will be heading to Columbia. The Gamecocks announced Thursday that the annual neutral-site game against Clemson will rotate between Greenville and Columbia over the next four years.

“Each year, the greatest college baseball rivalry in the nation is played in three different stadiums around the state of South Carolina,” South Carolina Athletics Director Ray Tanner said in a statement. “One of these games each year is at a neutral site, and Fluor Field and Spirit Communications Park are among the finest stadiums in minor league baseball. Their staffs are committed to making a first-class environment for our student-athletes.”

Next year's series (2019) and the 2021 series will start in Clemson with Saturday's game in Greenville's Fluor Field before concluding in Columbia.

In 2020, South Carolina will host the Friday night game with Saturday's neutral-site being held at Spirit Communications Park before Clemson hosts game three.
