Walker flies out to center.

Would have liked to have gotten another run or so with no outs and the bases loaded for the heart of our lineup. Oh well. But I’ll take it.

4-0 ’Cocks after 1.5.

hello

just wanted to say that as it looked like you were talking to yourself in this thread.

Kidding…

Gamecocks need some runs as I feel 4-3 may not be enough to hold CCU off

Price saves day.

That was tense. Awesome low scoring scoring game. Exactly like I thought it would be. Carolina played well. Glad we came out on top.

One hell of a game against Miami today - wow. The ’Canes wrapped their hands around their necks and squeezed real hard (seven errors, including with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to gift us the tying run), and the Gators did just enough to take advantage. Miami had a glut of errors last night too, though UF would have won anyhow - either the nerves were running awful high in their dugout this series, or they need a fielding coach stat.

Watching UCLA & Fullerton hammer away at each other now. That’s right guys, tire yourselves out before you get to Omaha…

Anyhow - good luck again. As you no doubt noticed, Vandy struck back today to make it 1-1, and Bama took their opener. Sounds like it’s time for a little bit of SEC expansion into Nebraska, eh?

Thanks for holding down the fort, folks.

I’m out of town and was unable to get to a computer until now. I’m scheduling a gane thread for tomorrow and will try to make it around. Hopefully we’ll wrap this thing up and punch out ticket to Omaha. Go ’Cocks!
