Well, that was a crappy way to play on national TV against a border rival.
Luckily for us, it wasn't a conference game and we get a chance at some redemption against another one of our border rivals in the Bulldogs of UGA. We have an elite pitching matchup tonight as Clarke Schmidt will do battle with UGA's ace, Robert Tyler.
Come chat with us!
*UPDATE #1*
Clarke Schmidt pitched a gem as the Gamecocks took game 1 by a score of 3-1. Braden Webb will toe the rubber on Saturday night as the Yardcocks look to get another SEC series win.
*UPDATE #1 CONT'D*
Per John Whittle, Marcus Mooney is out of today's lineup due to a hip pointer. Mooney is listed as day-to-day.
