Two ejections later, South Carolina’s first SEC game in 2018 is over.
A duel between two of the country’s top aces became a side-story Friday evening. Both USC’s Adam Hill and Florida’s Brady Singer played their parts in a 7-3 Gators win, but the crowd of 7,034 was wowed by other developments in Founders Park.
Hill, who entered as the SEC leader in strikeouts and opponent batting average, gave up three runs on three hits in 4 2/3 innings. He battled through 98 pitches, walking five batters striking out six and stranding four more.
Singer, who remains the top college prospect for June’s MLB draft, was better, giving up one run on two hits in six innings.
