The Gamecocks should have had a lot of pep and momentum coming off their walkoff win over top-ranked North Carolina State earlier this week. The key words there are “should have,” as they followed up that exciting victory by going ice cold in both games against Alabama on Friday, getting shut out in the first and scoring just a single run in the second.
In game one, the Crimson Tide jumped out to an early lead, going up 1-0 in the first inning on an RBI single by Morgan McCullough, then they added two more runs on double from Brett Auerbach, making the score 3-0.
