SCOUTING OLD DOMINION
#1 Seed Old Dominion came into the Columbia Regional winning the program's first ever Conference USA conference championship with it's 7-5 victory in 10 innings over Louisiana Tech in Ruston, LA last weekend. The conference title was the Monarch's first since it last won a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) championship in 1996. Old Dominion continued its winning ways by winning the Game 2 nightcap on Friday, defeating Jacksonville 4-3, which was the Monarch's 8th consecutive win. Kenny Levari had a two-run home run in the first and Kyle Battle drove in a pair with a double in the second to account for all four of its runs.

South Carolina and Old Dominion have met 23 times on the diamond with Carolina owning a 19-4 series advantage. The two teams last met in 2009, with the Gamecocks coming away with a 13-3 win on March 10. Nick Ebert and Justin Dalles drove in three runs apiece and DeAngelo Mack had three hits in the Carolina win.
