South Carolina baseball’s red-hot leadoff hitter, Nathan Hall, had a big day with four hits, helping the team secure a 7-2 victory over Queens despite frigid temperatures at Founders Park. The team’s ability to handle the tough weather conditions impressed coach Paul Mainieri, who commended their solid performance.
The game started with a chilly 36-degree temperature and windy conditions, making it a challenge for both teams to manufacture runs. South Carolina managed to pound out 11 hits, including two extra-base hits, while pitchers Jackson Soucie and Ryder Garino combined for six shutout innings.
After Queens made a late push in the eighth inning, South Carolina’s offense came through with four runs in the bottom half to secure the win. Hall and Ethan Petry delivered key RBI singles to seal the victory.
Coach Mainieri emphasized the importance of winning close games to build confidence as the team prepares for their upcoming series against Milwaukee. South Carolina looks to carry their momentum into the next matchup on Friday.
