After splitting a weather-shortened series against No. 1 LSU over the weekend, No. 6 South Carolina got back in the win column with a 7-2 victory over USC Upstate on Tuesday night, sweeping the season series.
The Gamecocks started the scoring early, taking a 2-0 lead in the first on back-to-back homers from Dylan Brewer and Ethan Petry. USC tacked on three more runs in the third. Brewer and Petry singled with one out, then Cole Messina also knocked a base hit that brought Brewer home and made it 3-0. With two outs, Talmadge LeCroy walked to load the bases, then Carson Hornung and Michael Braswell walked too to force in a pair of runs, pushing the score to 5-0.
