James Darnell went 4-for-5 in Tuesday's gameby Colleen Casselton
The Gamecock baseball team defeated The Citadel 7-4 last night in Charleston.
Redshirt freshman Parker Bangs pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, with five strikeouts. The Gamecocks clenched the victory with a four-run eighth-inning.
With two on in the eighth, James Darnell hit a double to left field, bringing in one run and cutting Citadel's lead to 4-3. Justin Smoak was intentionally walked, loading the bases. The score was tied after a wild pitch brought Reese Havens home.
In the top of the ninth, Darnell hit an RBI single, giving the Gamecocks the lead.
USC plays Davidson tonight at 7pm at Sarge Frye.
