#16 South Carolina vs. Charleston Southern, Game 2 Recap: Gamecocks Squeak Past Buccaneers 5-4, Win Series

DTW and Alex Destino homered, helping give South Carolina just enough offense to beat Charleston Southern on Saturday

The Gamecocks were on the board first in the first inning, taking a 2-0 lead after John Jones singled with two outs and Alex Destino went yard.

Both teams were pretty quiet in the next couple of innings, with Charleston Southern getting just one hit and South Carolina tallying none, but the Gamecocks added a couple of insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth. Destino walked to start things off, then Dom Thompson-Williams homered to make it 4-0.
