South Carolina baseball defeated Valparaiso, 9-2, on Saturday afternoon to complete Friday night’s suspended game.
The No. 24 Gamecocks (11-3) led 4-1 after four innings when play was halted Friday due to heavy rain in the area.
Wesley Sweatt made his first start in place of regular Friday starting pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski, who fractured his foot last Friday against Clemson. The freshman from Rock Hill allowed a run on three hits with three strike outs and two walks in four innings.
John Gilreath and Cam Tringali finished off the victory by combining to allow one run over the final five innings Saturday.
