Hope in Hoover: Gamecocks top Vanderbilt to advance

South Carolina isn’t done yet.

The Gamecocks topped Vanderbilt 7-4 in 11 innings Tuesday afternoon in the SEC tournament to extend their season and advance to the double-elimination portion of the event.

“I couldn’t be prouder of my team. It was a complete win,” USC coach Chad Holbrook said.

Riley Hogan worked a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the 11th to give No. 11 seed USC a 5-4 lead, and Alex Destino responded with a double off the wall in right to score two and push the lead to 7-4.

The win is the first for USC in the SEC tournament under Chad Holbrook.
