It was by no means pretty, but South Carolina baseball has its first win of the year after taking down Liberty, 13-7, at Founders Park on Saturday.
After a gut-wrenching loss in extra innings on Opening Day, the Gamecocks (1-1) seemed to hit the field re-energized and re-focused from the get-go. Freshman starting pitcher Dylan Harley breezed through a perfect first inning with two strikeouts, and he immediately received support from his offense in the form of a five-run bottom of the first.
After striking out five times Friday, sophomore second baseman Noah Campbell worked an opening walk.
