South Carolina scored early and often in Tuesday’s College World Series matchup with Virginia, cruising to a 7-1 win. The Gamecocks came out with a flash, scoring three runs in the first to take an early lead. With Virginia unable to answer, the Gamecocks poured it on, chasing Cavaliers’ starter Will Clark from the game in just 3-1/3 innings. Clark gave up six earned runs, which proved to be all South Carolina needed.
College World Series Scores: South Carolina Hammers Virginia, 7-1
Virginia drops down in the bracket to face California on Thursday. The Golden Bears staved off elimination earlier in the day by downing Texas A&M, 7-3. South Carolina is in the driver’s seat after Tuesday’s win and will be odd until Friday. The Gamecocks must only win once more while Virginia or Cal must beat them twice to advance to the final round.
