Watch SEC Baseball Tournament Second Round No 10 Seed South Carolina Vs No 2 Seed Arkansas

South Carolina Gamecocks aim to continue momentum in SEC Baseball Tournament against Arkansas Razorbacks, focusing on strong pitching and offense.

South Carolina Gamecock catcher Dalton Reeves (44) had a standout moment, celebrating a two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning against the Florida Gators at Condron Family Ballpark in Gainesville, Florida on Sunday, April 14, 2024. The Gamecocks are riding high on their offensive performance from the first round against the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide, and now they are gearing up to face the No. 2 seed Arkansas Razorbacks in the second round of the SEC Baseball Tournament.

In a rematch from their regular season series where the Hogs took two out of three games in Columbia, the Gamecocks are looking to turn the tables this time around. Despite a close contest in the previous series, Carolina fell short due to a strong showing from SEC Pitcher of the Year Hagen Smith and a late-game collapse from their bullpen. With a fresh mindset and the advantage of having played a game on Tuesday, the Gamecocks are ready to take on the Razorbacks with a renewed focus.

One of the key takeaways for Mark Kingston's team after their victory over Alabama is the strategic use of their pitching staff. By having Chris Veach pitch a season-high five and two-thirds innings, the Gamecocks were able to preserve their arms for the upcoming games. If they can keep the Arkansas batting lineup at bay, they have a good chance of securing a spot in the winners' bracket on Thursday. The Gamecocks are determined to build on their momentum and make a strong push in the tournament.
