Gamecocks Aim for Series Win Against Oklahoma

The South Carolina Gamecocks are looking to claim the series victory against the Oklahoma Sooners.

After falling to Oklahoma in the opening game on Friday, the Gamecocks bounced back on Saturday in impressive fashion, tying the series 1-1. South Carolina erupted offensively, racking up 14 hits and scoring 11 runs. The pitching staff also delivered a strong performance, allowing just five runs.

This sets the stage for Sunday’s pivotal game, which will serve as a rubber match. With a win, the Gamecocks could take their first conference series of the season.

For Sunday’s showdown, South Carolina is set to start Dylan Eskew (Sr. RHP), who has posted a 0-1 record with a 1.69 ERA over 16 innings so far this season. Eskew’s most recent performance was a solid outing, allowing just one run on three hits over six innings against LSU. His 19 strikeouts and 12 walks on the season demonstrate his ability to control the game.

For Oklahoma, Cam Johnson (So. LHP) is projected to start. Johnson brings a 2-0 record and a 3.93 ERA over 18.1 innings. The Sooners are hoping Johnson can deliver a strong start after a mixed series so far.

With both pitching staffs experiencing ups and downs, both teams will need to ensure their starters and bullpens deliver solid performances to secure the win on Sunday.

The game is scheduled for a 2:30 PM ET start and will be broadcasted on SEC Network+. Following this series, the Gamecocks will face Charleston on Tuesday at a neutral site before their weekend series against Arkansas.
