After trips to Austin, Tallahassee (three consecutive years) and Tucson, the South Carolina softball team would prefer to not be packing a bus this time next month. The Gamecocks like their Beckham Field, a place where they’ve won 18 of 19 games this season.
“We’ve been on the road for the last five years for the NCAA tournament,” USC coach Beverley Smith said Tuesday. “This year, if we can continue to do what we’re doing, it’s a reality for us. I hope that we’ll be able to be a top 16 (team) and host and be in front of our fans at our field.
