In a game that featured an extended pause due to bad weather, No. 6 South Carolina again couldn’t come through when it mattered most on offense, falling to North Florida 8-5 on Tuesday night.
The Gamecocks got on the board early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first after Dylan Brewer took a leadoff walk and scored on a double by Gavin Casas. That score held until the third, when the Ospreys ended the shutout and went up 5-1 courtesy of bases-loaded singles from Cherokee Nichols, Gabriel Esquivel, Dallen Leach, and Matthew Clements.
USC got a few runs back in the next inning.
