Box Score

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Despite a determined rally by Coastal Carolina in the seventh inning, the South Carolina Gamecocks were able to hold on to a 1-0 lead to defeat the Lady Chanticleers in game two Wednesday night. The win gave South Carolina the doubleheader sweep as they improved to 20-3 on the season. Kate Pouliot recorded the victory and improved to 11-1, while USC scattered four hits among four players to get the one run across.

It looked as though Coastal would score first when Allison Cantrell reached base on a throwing error by Pouliot to lead off the second inning. Kimberly Cillis then advanced Cantrell to third with a single, the Lady Chants first hit of the game. Pouliot got out of the inning unscathed and held the runners at third and second as she recorded two groundouts and a strikeout.

In the third inning, Adele Voigt recorded her second triple of the day to reach base safely with one out. Lindsay Walker followed with a double to drive in the run for the RBI and provided the Gamecocks their only run of the game.

Coastal answered with three singles with one out in the seventh to load the bases and threatened to take the lead. Prior to Allison Cantrell’s hit, the Gamecocks had retired sixteen straight batters since Cillis’ hit in the second inning. Coastal connected on hits by Cantrell, Cillis and Alicia Irwin to load the bases with still with one out. With the game on the line, Pouliot was able to ring up Carla Hood looking for out No. 2 and pinch hitter Erika Trujillo flied out to left field out No. 3 and ended the game with the Gamecocks’ lead in tact.

In addition to Voigt and Walker, South Carolina registered hits from McKenna Hughes and Lisa Longo. Hughes hit a double in the first, her sixth of the season, while Longo hit her first double of the season.

With the loss, Coastal fell to 5-15 overall and pitcher Danyelle Gerdts fell to 1-6.
