Last night’s 6-3 loss to Georgia was a string of frustrating losses for South Carolina baseball. A preseason top five team and a club that was projected to make it back to Omaha could potentially (depending on who you ask) miss out on regionals altogether for the second time in three seasons.
A couple of years back, Sam wrote a piece here on GABA warning people against drawing too many parallels between Chad Holbrook and his boss/predecessor, Ray Tanner. He highlighted the fact that Tanner missed regionals in his third year; it would be the last time he would do so in his tenure as the team would go on to ten Super Regionals, six CWS appearances, and two titles (with two runner-up finishes).
