If you search the major college baseball polls, you will not find South Carolina within the top 25.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A busy weekend for the South Carolina baseball team is underway as the team held a Friday afternoon scrimmage before Saturday’s scheduled 2:30 p.m. scrimmage.
A Sunday afternoon scrimmage is set for 1:30 p.m. All of this work is in preparation for Opening Day, Feb. 14, at Founders Park. The Paul Mainieri era will begin with a three-game series with Sacred Heart.
Carolina is not receiving a lot of preseason love as both D1Baseball.com and Baseball America both have the Gamecocks unranked.
Junior Ethan Petry is receiving plenty of attention in January as he has been named a Preseason All-American by several national outlets, But Petry and the rest of his teammates are more than motivated to make the first year of the Mainieiri era one that will make those same national pundits take notice.
