Wes Clarke opened up the Columbia regional with his NCAA best 23rd home run of the season in the first inning, starter Brett Kerry was pulled in the third due to injury, replaced by Julian Bosnic. The Gamecocks trailed 3–1 heading into the bottom of the sixth before Josiaha Sightler would hit a two run RBI double, after Wes Clarkes ground rule double put two in scoring position. After that catcher Collin Burgess singled giving the gamecocks a 4–3 lead. Daniel Lloyd came in to relieve Bosnic in the seventh, and he would not allow a run over the following three innings to get the save and put South Carolina into the winners bracket.[59]
