South Carolina Gamecocks’ outfielder Dalton Mashore returned to the starting lineup after battling injuries and a lack of playing time this season. Mashore made an immediate impact by hitting a grand slam in his first at-bat, helping the team secure a 13-3 victory. Head coach Paul Mainieri praised Mashore’s defensive skills and expressed confidence in his ability to earn back his starting right fielder position. Meanwhile, Ethan Petry hit his 53rd career home run for the Gamecocks, moving closer to breaking the program record. The offense came alive with a six-run rally in the sixth inning, showcasing solid two-strike approaches at the plate. Despite a late run from USC Upstate, Cayden Gaskin sealed the win with a walk-off solo homer. The Gamecocks reached their 20th win of the season and are gearing up for a three-game series against Texas A&M. South Carolina will face off against Texas A&M starting Thursday night in College Station.
