Watching South Carolina baseball this season remains ... an experience, and it was a negative one on Thursday night as the Gamecocks were blown out 9-1 by Ole Miss in the series opener.
The Rebels took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a homer by TJ McCants. They added three more runs in the next inning when Reagan Burford went yard, making it a 5-0 game. Two more runs came in the fourth inning, courtesy of a single by Tim Elko and a flyout from Kevin Graham, putting Ole Miss up 7-0.
Their final two runs of the game came in the eighth inning on a Justin Bench base hit and a groundout by Elko, making the score 9-0.
