Game 1 of the 4 game series goes to the Gamecocks! I tired to keep you updated HERE with a live thread.
Game 1 got played today finally after a rain delay. It was a great match up with USC getting a early 1-0 lead that stood until the bottom of the 6th when CU hit a HR to make it 1-1. It was pretty much back and forth after that until USC escaped a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 7th. Farotto came in with 1 out and bases loaded…but a double play ended the tiger rally. That was a key part of the game. Then USC finally woke up in the top of the 9th when D Mack came to the plate and crushed a HR. Then some singles got the lead to 3-1.
Dyson was strong again today and USC RP Farotto stepped up big time to get the crucial outs down the stretch. Farotto gets the win.
LOHD Players of the Game – D MACK with his HR to give the Cocks the lead in the 9th and Farotto with his great late inning pitching
Gamecocks won by the score of 3-1. SC still with no loses but CU has their first. That makes 5 straight wins for USC over CU. Go cocks as they knock off a top 25 team!
