On a day nice enough to play two, South Carolina baseball needed just one game to claim the necessary win over UNC-Wilmington to advance to an NCAA tournament super regional on Monday.
With more than a dozen hits, over two dozen baserunners and intense offensive pressure, the Gamecocks (36-24) knocked off the Seahawks 8-4 to claim the ECU regional with a perfect 3-0 record.
After rain and lightning forced USC to play deep into the night Saturday and kept it from taking the field at all Sunday, the skies above Clark-LeClair Stadium were clear Monday, and with a day's rest under their belts, the Gamecocks got another solid starting pitching performance from freshman Carmen Mlodzinski, while every player in the lineup reached base at least once.
