On a chilly, windy day at Founders Park on Tuesday, things went sideways for South Carolina baseball in a hurry. Then, inning by inning, the Gamecocks clawed their way back against Winthrop.
By the end of the night, USC had scrapped all the way back to an 8-6 win in its first midweek game of 2019.
Sophomore pitcher T.J. Shook, making his first career start for the Gamecocks, ran into trouble for the start. After a quick leadoff walk in the top of the first inning, he gave up a pair of doubles poked down the left and right field lines to score two runs.
