Arguably South Carolina baseball's best season in half a decade came to an ugly, disappointing end at Baum Stadium on Monday, as the Gamecocks were steamrolled by Arkansas, 14-4, in Game 3 of their NCAA tournament Super Regional.
With the defeat, USC's hopes of advancing to the program's 12th College World Series ended. Carolina finished its first season under coach Mark Kingston with a 37-26 record, after falling at one point to 20-17.
After topping the Razorbacks 8-5 on Sunday to force a pivotal third game in the series, the Gamecocks seemed lost from the start Monday and never got on track during its second biggest defeat on the year.
