Bottom 5th, Gamecocks lead 3-1:

New pitcher comes in for the Citadel. His name is Speedy, Caleb Speedy.

Gamecocks are speedy in making his night one to forget - Noah Myers singles to lead off, then Jeff Heinrich doubles to right center that Myers is able to leg out for a run: 4-1 Gamecocks.

Then Brennan Milone hits a 2-RBI HOME RUN to add to his double over the weekend as his first 2 hits as a Gamecock, and it's 6-1 Gamecocks, still 0 outs.

A new pitcher comes in for the Bulldogs, replacing Speedy. Boy, that was.....um.......fast......

 
Bottom 6th, Gamecocks are efficient with their offense: George Callil  is hit by a pitch with 2 outs in the inning, steals 2B to get into scoring position, and then Myers hits a RBI single to score Callil.

Gamecocks lead 7-1, top of 7th inning.....

 
Gamecocks 7-1, bottom 8th:

Allen starts off the 8th inning for the Gamecocks with a solo home run to extend the lead to 8-1. A new pitcher comes in the for Bulldogs. After a walk to Dallas Beaver, a single to Anthony Amicangelo, and a 1-out walk to Callil to load the bases, Myers strikes again with a 2-RBI single to push the lead to 10-1. Myers is 4 for 4 on the night with 3 RBIs - Allen also has 3 RBIs, going 2 for 4 with a HR.....

Gamecocks lead 10-1, top 9th inning......

 
Brett Kerry comes in to close out the 9th inning. He gets a ground out and 2 fly outs to retire the side. Bosnic (2-0) gets the win for the Gamecocks, who improve to 12-4 on the season. Tennessee (15-2) and the SEC schedule is up next this weekend!

Gamecocks win 10-1......
