South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook wanted to see an improved plate approach after USC’s weekend series with Wright State.
He got his wish Tuesday evening as the Gamecocks struck out only once and pounded out 10 hits in an 8-4 victory over Appalachian State.
South Carolina had four home runs in its first eight games entering the matchup with the Mountaineers but hit three in eight innings against App. St. as Chris Cullen hit a three-run homer in the second inning and Jacob Olson added a pair of solo shots.
Cullen’s blast came in his first at bat.
