Thursday’s 5-4 loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament at Regions Park not only dropped the fifth-seeded Gamecocks into the loser’s bracket, but also into an elimination showdown with top-seeded LSU at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
Vandy scored in the ninth on a bases-loaded walk allowed by USC reliever Michael Roth (1-1) to Jonathan White, whose nine-pitch at-bat produced the game-winner after two singles and a throwing error by third baseman Andrew Crisp.
