South Carolina scored six runs in the third inning and used another solid start from Jarvis Evans Jr., in a 7-1 win over Georgia State Wednesday night at Ray Tanner Field at Founders Park. The Gamecocks have now won six in a row.
Georgia State struck first on a solo home run from Colin Hynek, but Carolina answered with the six-spot in the third. Hall reached on an infield single and went to second on Evan Stone’s single. Both moved up on a wild pitch and Hall scored on Ethan Petry’s sacrifice fly. A Kennedy Jones RBI groundout followed. With the bases loaded, Jordan Carrion doubled to right to score three. Hall had his second hit of the inning to bring in Carrion to make it 6-1.
