They aren’t exactly the Tigers South Carolina fans really love to beat, but on Friday night, the Gamecock baseball team rolled past them all the same, recording a series-opening 7-2 win against Princeton at Founders Park.
USC (9-5) scored in a variety of ways against the Tigers (0-5), ranging from a wild pitch and throwing error in the first inning to a two-run home run from senior first baseman Matt Williams in the eighth. All told, South Carolina collected nine hits and four walks, leaving just five runners on base
On the mound, a rocky first inning gave way to another silky smooth outing for Adam Hill, who struck out nine, walked two and gave up two hits and one run in five innings, picking up his second win of the year and lowering his ERA to 3.
