South Carolina’s 2018 baseball season will start shortly. If new head coach Mark Kingston gets his wish, it’ll be over before fans know it.
“When you’re playing really well, (the season) goes fast,” Kingston said Monday after his team finished its sixth of nine preseason intrasquad scrimmages. “Last year, we had a 19-game winning streak, and it went fast. There are other times when you’re laboring or you’re struggling a little bit and the season seems to crawl by. A lot of it has to do with the kind of success you are having.”
That 19-game winning streak came at South Florida, where Kingston was before being hired by Ray Tanner to take over a Gamecocks program that had a very long 2017 season.
