A trip to Fluor Field was what South Carolina, and senior center fielder T.J. Hopkins, needed to get the offense back on track.
After getting swept by Georgia in Columbia over the weekend, the Gamecocks beat Furman 12-7 on Tuesday at the home of the Greenville Drive.
Hopkins, who went 2-for-13 over against the Bulldogs, blasted two home runs in the same game for the second time in his career. He also went 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs while Brady Allen also drove in four runs and added two hits.
A South Carolina squad that scored 10 runs on 17 hits in its first three SEC games erupted for 11 hits against the Paladins (5-13).
