Gamecocks Suffer Two Losses Against Florida

The South Carolina baseball team struggled in its series against Florida, losing all games including a 22-3 defeat in a suspended game, an 8-0 loss in the regularly-scheduled game, and a 9-5 loss to open the series. Key issues for the Gamecocks included defensive errors, issuing walks, and conceding multiple home runs, particularly in late innings where Florida capitalized to secure large leads. Both teams played without their best players, and weather delays further complicated the series, but Florida maintained the upper hand throughout. Meanwhile, the South Carolina softball team rebounded from an initial 13-1 loss to Alabama by sweeping a doubleheader to close out the regular season, winning 3-1 and 7-2. The softball team showed resilience, with strong pitching performances and timely hitting, setting a program record for wins by a first-year head coach. The Gamecocks look to regroup as baseball prepares for its next series against Auburn.
