Defending national champions South Carolina are making a return trip to Omaha for the College World Series, thanks to their 8-2 win over Connecticut on Sunday afternoon, giving them a 2-0 win for the series. The Huskies jumped out to an early lead and appeared to be well on their way to forcing Game 3, but their bullpen couldn’t hold up against the Gamecocks’ bats as USC rallied late in the game.

South Carolina’s bullpen was perfect after relieving Colby Holmes of his duties in the 5th inning, while UConn’s fell apart after Greg Nappo was taken off the mound. The defending champions scored five runs in the final inning of the game, putting away a tough Huskies team for good.
The Gamecocks are the fourth overall seed in the country and they became the fifth team to seal a trip to Omaha this year. Their opponent for next weekend is yet to be determined.
