COLUMBIA – An almost great South Carolina baseball team had runners on base in the seventh inning Sunday, and the eighth. Again, the Gamecocks got two hits in the ninth.
Oklahoma State is advancing to Omaha because the Cowboys during a 3-1 victory in Game 2 of the Columbia Super Regional at Founders Park did things that made South Carolina’s 2010 and 2011 College World Series winners famous.
Clutch pitching, hitting and fielding from guys in garnet is still ground into the hard drive of Gamecock Nation psyche like infield dirt on a pair of white baseball pants.
