COLUMBIA --South Carolina hosts Virginia in Game 5 of the NCAA Columbia Regional in an elimination game. The game is set to start 12:00 p.m. Sunday. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. Every Gamecock contest will be on the Gamecock Radio Network with Derek Scott and Tommy Moody on the call. The Gamecocks lost to Old Dominion 2-1, in the winner's bracket game Saturday night. Thomas Farr pitched a season-high 7.2 innings in the Old Dominion game, striking out four and allowing five hits and two runs with three walks. Joe Satterfield drove in Carolina's run with a sacrifice fly to center. Satterfield also had one of Carolina's three hits on the night. Will Sanders pitched 1.1 innings of relief, striking out three while not allowing a hit. 

PROBABLE PITCHING ROTATION
Sunday
South Carolina Brannon Jordan (Sr. RHP) 5-5, 4.37 ERA, 47 BB, 93 SO
Virginia TBA
 
SCOUTING VIRGINIA
Virginia defeated #4-Seeded Jacksonville 13-8 earlier Saturday, to stay alive in the regional. Zach Gelof and Kyle Teel had four hits apiece and Jake Gelof had three hits and four runs scored, part of a 21-hit outburst. In the regional's opening game, the #3-Seed Cavaliers lost to #2-Seed South Carolina 4-3.

SERIES VS. VIRGINIA
Carolina holds a 37-28 series advantage over Virginia heading into Sunday's game. This includes a 4-0 record in NCAA post-season play (their past 4 games played), and a current 10-game win streak dating back to the 1978 season, to Friday's 4-3 win in Game 1 of this Regional.

POST-GAME NOTES

  • The Gamecocks are now 137-70 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. 
  • Carolina is in the loser's bracket of a regional for the first time since 2016. The Gamecocks clawed all the way back from a Friday loss to win that regional.

Virginia set some post-season program records yesterday against Jacksonville, with their hitting and scoring. That means one of two things: that they are starting a offensive hot streak, which would be bad for us, or that they used up their hitting before today, which would be great for us. Hopefully it's the latter, and we figure out how to generate some offense of our own. We were fortunate to JUST score enough to beat them in the first game....

 
Virginia's pitcher for today: Matt Wyatt (RHP), who is 2-1 on the season with a 5.33 ERA in 25.0 innings pitched, with 30 strike outs and 16 walks.

South Carolina is the visiting team for today. Brady Allen steps into the box. Allen grounds out. Andrew Eyster strikes out looking. Wes Clarke strikes out swinging.

More of the same, it seems....

bottom 1st.....

 
Brannon Jordan ALL SEASON LONG has been a pitcher that works out of full pitching counts. He has a power arm, and typically gets to a 0-2 count very easily, but then has to mess around to a full count figuring out how to get that 3rd strike. As such, he gets a lot of strikeouts, but also gets a lot of walks, and he leads the team in that category. Opponents have a very low batting average against him - they struggle to hit against him - but he has a high ERA due to the fact that he helps those opponents out by putting a ton of them onto the basepaths via the walk. And also because of this, he struggles to get into the later innings of games due to running up high pitch totals with all those full pitch counts and walks.

Jordan takes the mound. The lead-off Virginia batter flies out. The next batter is walked. The next batter singles and Virginia has them on the corners with 1 out.

The next batter singles in the first run. I think we're about done here.......

 
1-0 Virginia, top 2nd inning:

Josiah Sightler strikes out. Three strikeouts from the first four Gamecocks to bat. Brennan Milone singles! A hit!

Braylen Wimmer strikes out. Colin Burgess lines out.....

1-0 UVA bottom 2nd......

 
Virginia leads 3-0 in the bottom 3rd inning, with 2 outs and a man on 2B. Might as well be 10-0 now with our hitting. Julian Bosnic finished the inning off - that's two of our top pitchers not able to last long on the mound for this Regional. Bosnic had a fairly long relief of Kerry in Friday's game. He can't have much gas in his arm today...

 
Too many strike outs and no luck at all. First time I've ever seen a 1-5-6 double play. It seemed like every time we did hit a ball hard, it was right at someone.

 
I turned the game off after UVA's third run, took a nap, got up, heard we lost, then cut the grass.

Sounded like a home game for UVA on the radio until I switched it off.

I'm not really surprised, although I thought we would have pulled out of the hitting slump this game.

You could see this coming after the Hoover crap.
