The Gamecocks came out of the gates swinging on Friday night, blasting four home runs on the way to a 6-3 win evening the series at a game apiece.
Freshman Christian Scott took the ball, making his second weekend start. Scott got a loss last week on the road at Ole Miss but Kevin O’Sullivan was encouraged by his performance. Friday night Scott ran into trouble quickly. After a clean first inning Jacob Olson opened the second with a double and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Chris Cullen drove Olson in with a single before Scott could get out of the inning.
