South Carolina baseball will travel about five hours south to Gainesville for a super regional matchup with the Florida Gators. The trip to college baseball’s step-before-Omaha will be the first for each program since 2018, something that is a bit of a surprise considering the proud tradition and fan support that exists in both Columbia and Gainesville.
After being controversially included as a top-16 host site, South Carolina baseball absolutely dominated the Columbia regional. The Gamecocks beat Central Connecticut State 19-1, NC State 6-3, and Campbell 16-7 to finish the sweep of college baseball’s opening round.
