App. 2004) (“It is well-settled that an issue cannot be raised for the first time on appeal, but must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial court to be preserved for appellate review.”); State v. Addison, 338 S.C. 277, 284-85, 525 S.E.2d 901, 905 (Ct. App. 1999) (explaining that an issue is not preserved when the grounds raised on appeal are different than those raised below); Evans v. Wabash Life Ins. Co., 247 S.C. 464, 466, 148 S.E.2d 153 (1966) (holding that the failure to make a directed verdict motion at the close of all evidence precludes a review of the motion’s denial on appeal). AFFIRMED.
