South Carolina had been rolling along nicely for the past few games...and then they went to Charlotte. I’m starting a petition to never have the Gamecocks play North Carolina in baseball again. Someone second this motion.
The Tar Heels took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single, but USC tied things up in the bottom of the inning, after Jacob Olson singled, LT Tolbert got hit, and Jonah Bride knocked a base hit to get Olson home.
The Gamecocks took a 2-1 lead in the next inning thanks to a Chris Cullen leadoff homer, then tacked on their only other run of the game in the third inning, after Tolbert walked, Bride singled, and Matt Williams brought Tolbert in.
