Through four innings of play, neither Oklahoma nor South Carolina has been able to put together a major rally, but that doesn’t mean the teams can’t get on the board. After a rain delay that made the Sooners and Gamecocks wait more than four hours, the two teams finally got on the field and started putting up some ones. For the Gamecocks, twice they scored a run in an inning and in three innings the Sooners scored a run to give them a 3-2 edge.
It took the Gamecocks all of two pitches to even it up in the second when Christian Walker led off the inning with a solo blast on the second pitch he saw. Oklahoma’s Matt Bushyhead grabbed that lead right back in the bottom of the second though, with a solo shot of his own.
