Observations, standouts and concerns from South Carolina’s scrimmage vs Georgia Tech

Oct. 20, 2019

In its second and final scrimmage against an opposing team this fall, South Carolina baseball rode a late surge of offense to a 10-6 victory over Georgia Tech on Sunday at Founders Park.

The result, though, doesn’t count toward the Gamecocks’ record and, as coach Mark Kingston has said before, doesn’t matter to his staff at all.

That being said, Kingston said the 12 innings the two teams played gave him some insight into how his players react in game situations, better than the intersquad scrimmages do. (VIEW ARTICLE) THE STATE

Much better pitching than the NC State scrimmage, with only two guys getting roughed up. Both of those (Mlod and Lawson) are expected to be key contributors, but both are coming off injuries from last year. Brannon  Jordan was the star of the staff for the day. Kingston's comment: "What I was most pleased with was our pitchers made a drastic improvement from the first time we pitched against N.C. State to here. We emphasized working fast, attacking the strike zone and not wasting pitches. I thought they did a better job of that today." Lots of promising guys in the field. Can't wait for spring!
