Gamecocks continue home stand with Tennessee series this weekend
COLUMBIA, S.C. — No. 15 South Carolina softball continues its five-game home stand this weekend with its SEC-home opening series against No. 2 Tennessee starting Friday at 6:00 PM ET.
Carolina comes into the weekend with an impressive 25-4 record, including a 2-1 mark in SEC play thanks to the series win over No. 23 Ole Miss in Oxford this past weekend.
Carolina started the 2018 SEC schedule with a 2-1 series win over No. 23 Ole Miss in Oxford over the weekend. Carolina took the first two games of the set, finishing the weekend outscoring the Rebels 12-6. For comparison, Kenzi Maguire finished with six RBI herself.
The Gamecocks’ pitching staff was incredible, posting a 0.70 ERA from three pitchers (Kelsey Oh, Cayla Drotar and Dixie Raley) on their way to holding Ole Miss to just two earned runs on the weekend.
