For the first time in more than a year, South Carolina has won an SEC series.
With a 6-2 victory over Tennessee in the second contest of a three-game set on Friday night, the Gamecocks (16-11) snapped a 10-series losing streak in conference play and won their third game in a row.
After besting the Volunteers 6-1 on Thursday without a single extra base hit, USC relied heavily on the long ball to power its offense Friday, as the entire outfield of sophomore Carlos Cortes, junior Danny Blair and junior Jacob Olson each contributed home runs.
After three scoreless innings to start the game, Cortes got the offense going in the fourth with a blast to right.
