TJ Shook strikes out 12 as Gamecocks thump The Citadel

From one dominant TJ to another.

After senior center fielder TJ Hopkins slugged South Carolina baseball to a huge series win over Clemson this past weekend, sophomore pitcher TJ Shook handcuffed The Citadel on Tuesday to lead the Gamecocks to an easy 9-0 win.

Entering Tuesday with an 8.31 ERA in three appearance and one start, Shook put together one of the best outings by a USC pitcher this season, throwing 6 1/3 innings of one-hit, shutout ball. He struck out 12 batters, the most by any Carolina pitcher this season and more than double his career high of five, and walked three.
