Whit Merrifield will be remembered forever in South Carolina for one of the biggest plays in Gamecocks history.
Merrifield, now the Royals’ second baseman, had the walk-off hit when South Carolina won the 2010 College World Series. On Saturday, he was back in Columbia, S.C., and led the “Gamecocks” cheer before the team’s game against Florida.
Merrifield wrote in an Instagram post: “USC, you’re the best! No place like Columbia. Loved being with great friends and former teammates this weekend. And special thanks to @gamecockfb for this awesome moment!”
