A night after being handcuffed on six hits against Florida, South Carolina had five players record multi-hit games as the Gamecocks punished the second-ranked Gators 15-6 Saturday afternoon at Founders Park.
Jonah Bride led the hit parade with three doubles and three RBI but he had plenty of support. Jacob Olson also collected three hits with Noah Campbell, TJ Hopkins and Matt Williams each adding two each. Madison Stokes, Hunter Taylor, Campbell and Olson each added home runs.
The 15 runs tied the season-high and the 16 hits were the most of the season.
The Gamecocks (13-6, 1-1) couldn’t have started any quicker.
