On a brisk Wedneday night at Founders Field with only a couple hundred fans in the stands, South Carolina baseball looked primed to repeat its embarassing performance from the last midweek game, a loss to lowly Furman.
Tied 1-1 with North Carolina A&T after four innings with just two hits, USC’s offense looked like the anemic attack the Gamecocks showcased in its first two games against Clemson this past weekend, while freshman starter Logan Chapman was throwing quality pitches but could not stop getting into jams.
From there on out, however, the rout was on, as South Carolina (8-5) pounded out an 12-2 win on the back of a season-high tying 11 walks, 13 hits and strong relief pitching.
