No. 23 South Carolina scored only single-digit runs for the first time this season, but a hot start and some late-game power were enough to keep them perfect on the year with a 7-4 win over Penn in the series opener.
After a scoreless first for both teams, the Gamecocks got on the board in a big way in the second inning. Gavin Casas walked to start things off, Talmadge LeCroy singled, and Ethan Petry came through with a homer that made it 3-0. Will McGillis then tripled, Evan Stone walked, and Braylen Wimmer got hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out.
