Gamecocks get out of the 1st unscathed.
Cooper plunked the first batter, but a strike from Enders to second on a steal attempt nullified the HBP.

Enders walks.
Everyon else in the game is thinking home run to win it. Enders think, "Man, if I walk, the tying run is in scoring position. Stays within himself.
