Role reversal: South Carolina bounces back from ugly loss to crush Kentucky | The State

Less than 24 hours removed from its worst loss of the year, South Carolina put together its best effort of the season, crushing Kentucky, 15-1, for its first road win.

The Gamecocks (18-13, 5-6 SEC) rode three long balls from three different batters and a sterling outing from sophomore right hander Cody Morris to the victory on a cold day in Lexington, never trailing against the No. 9 Wildcats (21-10, 4-7 SEC).

It could hardly have been more different from Friday's matchup, in which UK pounced on USC junior righty Adam Hill and pounded the Gamecocks all night long for a 14-1 result, the largest margin of defeat for South Carolina all year long.
