After a quiet series opener, South Carolina baseball got some much-needed production from its bats against Georgia on Saturday.
But the Gamecocks’ top starting pitcher struggled for the first time this year, as did the defense, and USC fell 8-7 to the Bulldogs, dropping the series.
In a back-and-forth contest at Founders Park, Carolina (14-5, 0-2 SEC) took the lead three different times against UGA, only to surrender them all the next half-inning.
The Gamecocks’ first four runs of the day came off home runs in the second and third innings from sophomore catcher Luke Berryhill, freshman DH Ian Jenkins and sophomore right fielder Andrew Eyster.
