No. 11 South Carolina went on the road and left the offense behind, putting up a lackluster showing at the plate on the way to a 6-2 loss to Charlotte.
The Gamecocks had the bases loaded in the second inning but couldn’t capitalize, and both teams were scoreless until the 49ers scored almost all of their runs in the third. After a walk, a wild pitch and an error gave Charlotte a couple of base runners, Blake Jackson and and Jack Dragum both singled to get the runners home and make it 2-0. Cam Fisher followed with a three-run homer that made the score 5-0.
