South Carolina’s struggling offense turned to small ball Sunday afternoon against Alabama as the Gamecocks manufactured a pair of runs late in a 4-2 series-clinching win.
With the score tied at 2 in the seventh inning Danny Blair led off the frame with a bloop double and Madison Stokes followed with a sac bunt. Alabama pitcher Garrett Suchey tried to get Blair out at third on and threw the ball away, allowing Blair to score.
Matt Williams then followed with a sac bunt to push Stokes to third, and Jonah Bride’s sac fly pushed the Gamecocks lead to 4-2.
