PROBABLE PITCHING ROTATION

Sunday

South Carolina TBA
Georgia Jonathan Cannon (So., RHP) 1-1, 3.07 ERA, 2 BB, 16 SO

Georgia opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second but the Gamecocks responded in the third on George Callil's two-run opposite field home run. Andrew Eyster hit a two-run shot in the fourth, making it 4-1.
 
Carolina went up 7-1 in the sixth as Josiah Sightler hit a home run to right and Brennan Milone drove in a run with a single and then scored on a two-base error. A Braylen Wimmer sacrifice fly scored Callil to put Carolina up 8-1 in the top of the seventh. Georgia answered with a five-run seventh inning to cut Carolina's lead to two runs.
 
The Gamecocks would respond, scoring three runs in the eighth on an RBI double from Milone and a two-run single by Brady Allen. Wes Clarke then hit his 15th home run of the season in the ninth to give the Gamecock some cushion.
 
Jordan picked up the win, tying a career high with 11 strikeouts while allowing just one hit with three walks and four earned runs. Brett Kerry struck out four in 2.1 innings of relief, allowing an earned run with a walk and five hits.
 
Clarke was 3-for-5 on the day to lead the Carolina offense. Callil reached base four times and drove in a pair. He joined Sightler and Milone with two hits apiece.

POSTGAME NOTES

  • Carolina wins at Foley Field for the first time since the 2016 season.
  • Jordan tied his career high in strikeouts, which was set this season against Mercer (March 6).
  • Clarke has now homered in 11 games this season and five of the last seven games.
  • Eight of the nine Gamecocks in the lineup had hits while Braylen Wimmer drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
  • Carolina had a total of seven extra-base hits in the win.



 
Great pitching. Sanders about to have a complete game. Most innings ever for him right now at 8. Only gave up 1 run. Yardcocks up 5-1 after 8

 
Sanders let the first 2 get on base but then Bosnic came in and got 3 quick outs for the save. Series win and great game. 5-1 final

 
Best game we have had in several years from a balance standpoint.

Eight innings by a starting pitcher makes a huge difference.

Hopefully Sanders can keep it up.

 
Great win by the Gamecocks! Sorry I wasn't able to update the thread - I was at my mother's house for some good Easter home cooking, and thought my phone service would let me post from there, but I guess she is in a dead spot for my provider.

Great outing for Sanders, and Allen busted out with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs, as the Gamecocks improved to 19-7, 6-3 with the 5-1 series-winning Game 3 defeat of Georgia....

 
Winning this series against UGA was an important point in the season for the Gamecocks. We're now 19-7 on the season, and 6-3 in SEC play. But we now have a mid-week game against the North Carolina Tar Heels (14-12, 9-9 in ACC - they are 1-6 in their last 7 games coming into our game), then host the hapless Missouri Tigers (10-17, 3-6 SEC) in Founders Park. Then a week from Tuesday, we host Charleston Southern (9-11, 9-8 Big South). and then travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU (17-11, 1-8 SEC).

The chances of going 8-0 during this run are pretty slim - this is baseball after all, and the game is NEVER that straight-forward - but we should be able to make serious hay during this stretch and win the lion's share. LSU - especially AT LSU - is always a concern, but they are really struggling right now.

After the above stretch, we close out the season with a murderer's row: at home vs Arkansas, @ Ole Miss, home vs Miss State, @ Kentucky, and then home vs Tennessee. With the 3rd game in the Clemson series @ Clemson thrown in for seasoning. We MUST take control of the above 8-game stretch, or we could find ourselves collapsing at the close of the season right out of post-season consideration.....

 
This continues to be a great team to listen to on the radio during their games.

Always action of some kind during each inning most of the time.

Gotta beat those Tar Heels!

Always nice to get the series win.  Like to sweep, but understand in baseball, that is difficult.  Yea, we need to beat the tarholes.  I hate them.
