The South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team begins the quest for another apperance at the College World Series. As we like to say, the Road to Omaha begins in Columbia. Got two items in the trophy case to prove it.
As you know by now, the Gamecocks play host to the Columbia Regional this weekend. Those pesky Clemson Tigers will be coming to town, as will Liberty and Saint Louis. Safe to say, it will not be easy for USC but we certainly like the chances to win this regional but we will not get cocky as there is plenty of baseball to play. In fact, here is the times for the games…

Game 2 – No. 1 South Carolina vs. No. 4 Saint Louis – 7 p.m. (ESPN2)

Stay tuned to LOHD for more reflections on this regional…..the biggest key for USC will be pitching. If they bring it, they will be winners. Also expect lots of Pankake talk, again.
