In the opening round of the NCAA baseball tournament, South Carolina and James Madison set the pace of the Raleigh Regional. James Madison set the tone early with one run in the first inning after being set up by a Gamecock error. South Carolina eventually responded with a single run in the third inning by a ground-out from Blake Jackson with the bases loaded. In the 5th inning, both teams came away with 3 runs to include a solo home run by Will Tippett and a 2-run shot by Blake Jackson.
South Carolina gets through the top half of the inning unscathed but enters the bottom half down 7-6. Joe Vogatsky steps to the mound for his 2nd inning. Austin Brinling led off with a single to center field, but Ethan Petry immediately grounded out to 3rd for a double play. Blake Jackson was once again at the plate, and to this point had been a difference-maker for the Gamecocks. Vogatsky quickly got up in the count with one ball and two strikes.
Chris Veach stepped onto the mound for his 4th inning and produced another scoreless frame sitting down all three batters he faced in the 10th. Kennedy Jones got things going for the Gamecocks with a lead-off walk. Talmadge LeCroy would move Jones to 2nd with a sacrifice bunt to the pitcher, but an errant throw to first would move Jones to 3rd and LeCroy would reach 1st safely. South Carolina subbed in Dylan Brewer to pinch run for Jones.
