No. 11 South Carolina was largely unimpressive at the plate for a lot of the first game in the series against No. 22 Missouri, but they came through in the end, walking off with a 9-8 win on Friday night.
The Gamecocks got on the board first, taking a 4-0 lead in the second inning after Talmadge LeCroy got hit by a pitch with one out, Caleb Denny and Dylan Brewer walked to load the bases, and Will McGillis hit a grand slam. The Tigers answered in the top of the third, making it 4-2 thanks to a homer by Luke Mann.
