- Thread starter FeatheredCock
- Start date
LB up now with Pankake at second, two gone, Cocks ahead by 9
Another hard liner to right field however is caught, and that'll do it for bot 7th but three more runs cross on Schrock 2-RBI double. Top 8
Quick groundout to second; Schrock has last three putouts, 1 up, 1 down. There's grounder to Chase, he's out at first, two down now
Double from No. 2 hitter puts runner on second, two down, top 8, 12-3 USC
BOTTOM 7 - Bumgardner makes the move from centerfield to pitcher. He'll face Vergason. He strikes out swinging. Rosenberg gets hit right in the middle of his back as the pitch gets away from Bumgardner. Costen puts down the bunt. It's too much towards the pitcher, who fields it, looks at second, then slips, then throws a one-hopper to first. Costen is safe. Official score is an infield hit. Costen now 3-for-4, but truth be told, two of those hits are on plays that should have been made. Sullivan strikes out swinging. Schrock now has his second hit of the day with a double that's stroked to left-center. Error on the centerfielder lets him move up to third. Two RBIs on the play. South Carolina now leads 11-3. Now Pankake hits a towering shot to left. It just barely missing getting out as hit bangs off the top of the wall. He coasts into second. It's now 12-3 Gamecocks. Dantzler with another hard-hit ball that's right at the right fielder to end the inning.
Another grounder to Chase at third, hard peg to first in time, inning over for Upstate. We go to bottom 8th, Celek, Bright, Vergason due.
TOP 8 - Sullivan gets two quick ground out before allowing a two-out double. Groundout to Vergason ends the inning. Carolina leads 12-3.
Celek leading off, he's 1-3 today, grounded into bases-loaded DP and hit bases-loaded 3 RBI double
Celek fouls out to third, one up, one down. Martin pinch hits for Bright, draws walk. One on, one out for Vergason
Full count now on Vergason, hits it hard to right, caught, right fielder throws to first, doubles up Martin who couldn't get back in time
BOTTOM 8 - Celek pops up to the left side. The third baseman reaches way into the stands and makes his second really nice play of the night. Kyle Martin will pinch hit for Bright. He takes a walk. Vergason flies to right and Martin is doubled off. I guess he was running on the play. That ends the inning. Carolina leads 12-3.
Top 9, 3 more outs to get, USC ahead 12-3
Erik Payne comes in to play left, Sean Sullivan moves over to right field, Patrick Sullivan sill on hill. Short fly to right, 1 up, 1 down
Sullivan throwing hard, one gets away, hits batter. One on, one out, top 9, 12-3 USC
Sullivan rebounds with a strikeout, two down now for Upstate in top 9.
Sullivan goes 0-2, gets his man with a K, his third, and it's a FINAL: 12-3. Wynkoop (3-0) gets win, Sullivan gets the save (1
TOP 9 - Erik Payne is in to play left field for the Gamecocks. Sullivan stay in. No one getting warm in the bullpen. Fly out to right field start it. Sullivan puts the next batter on then gets a strikeout for the second out. Samples singles through the left side as Vergason can't quite reach it. Sullivan gets the strike out to end it and USC wins 12-3.
