South Carolina baseball has two College World Series titles in program history — the same number of World Series rings won by former Gamecocks in Major League Baseball.
Starting Tuesday, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Steve Pearce will try to double that number.
Bradley Jr. and Pearce are both making their World Series debuts for the Boston Red Sox as they get set to face the Los Angeles Dodgers. If Boston, the favorite, can win the best-of-seven set, they will join a small group of USC alums — the only other former players to win a World Series ring are Mookie Wilson and Ed Lynch, both with the 1986 New York Mets.
