***2021 Baseball South Carolina (19-7) vs North Carolina (14-12) Game Thread***

2-2 top 10th inning:

The lead-off UNC batter singles on a bunt off of Bosnic. The next batter hits into a fielder's choice - the lead-off batter is out at 2nd.

The next batter singles and they are on 2B and 1B, with 1 out.

The next batter singles in the go-ahead run, and Bosnic isn't getting anyone out.

A double-steal gets them to 3B and 2B, with only 1 out. This is about to get ugly.

Bosnic gets a huge out via strikeout, and there are 2 outs now. Reduces the options for UNC substantially.

The next batter strikes out to end the threat! But UNC now has the lead, and it's now or never for the Gamecock bats to wake up.

Callil and then the top of the order up next....

3-2 UNC bottom 10th.....

 
3-2 UNC bottom 10th inning:

Callil grounds out. Allen strikes out. Burgess strikes out.

North Carolina wins 3-2. Hunh....

After all that excitement, apparently the team didn't share in it, as they left the bats home for the game. UNC came into this game with a poor team pitching ERA, but they dominated our hitters.....

 
We're the hunted now and we're going to get everyone's best shot.  Looking at UNC's current record this looked like a trap game for us and that's how it played out, I guess.

Pitching was good, just nothing for runs from our batting.

It's a disappointing loss, but kudos to Kingston for not wasting Brett Kerry in a lost cause and saving him for the upcoming Mizzou series at home this weekend.

The silver lining is our pitching staff is healthy (knock on wood) and pretty good and I am sure we will work on our hitting before the Mizzou series.

The bragging rights thing with UNC is not a big deal for me because we don't play the Tar Heels enough in any one sport for it to matter.  Playing their MBB team every year or so in the regular season would make it mean more, but we obviously don't try to do that.

 
Not really concerned with mid-week games just win the weekends and the conference games and the rest will take care of itself.
