#13 USC vs. #15 Georgia

[AikenGameFan]

South Carolina plays its final home games of the regular season with a three-game set against Georgia. Thursday’s game starts at 8 p.m. with Friday at 5:30 and Saturday’s games at 2 p.m., There are still some seats available for all 3 games, but I hope the stadium will be close to full.
We need these to be wins. we swept them in Athens last year, so we need to sweep them at home this year.

Going to take our best pitching and great offense to beat these guys. They have better batting avg. than us but their pitching has not been as good.

Just don't pitch to Charlie Condon, the kid is hitting the cover off the ball

UGA is 5-9 on the road while we are 22-7 at home.

Ugh...that was brutal last night. Let's get the next 2.

Good, bad, or other, the teams are about equal I guess.

Keep digging.

Cocks lose Game 3 to UGA 14-6. Dawgs with the sweep.

Went to the game. Beautiful day for one. Too bad we lost.

It was also Senior Day as well. The Gamecocks celebrated Senior Day before the game, honoring Dylan Brewer, Austin Brinling, Gavin Casas, Garrett Gainey, Ty Good, Parker Noland and Dalton Reeves as well as senior manager Matthew Hull, bullpen catcher Aidan Osborne and administrative assistant Julia Harrison.

So the disappointing weekend was probably a kick in the gut for the players and their families as well. Hopefully we rebound against the Vols this weekend.

We dropped to #24 after the UGA sweep.

That is a huge drop, but we're lucky we're even still ranked after this weekend at home. Somebody bought the wrong can of "whoop ass" at the grocery store.

I think the pollsters see us as a fundamentally good team with some ups and downs.
