South Carolina found themselves down 1-0 to the Gators behind fantastic pitching by Hudson Randall until the top of the 8th when Scott Wingo finally got a piece of a curve ball to bring home Peter Mooney. The Gamecocks found some magic with amazing defense in the 9th to get out of a bases loaded, no outs jam to force extra innings and eventually a 2-1 Gamecocks victory in Game 1 of the 2011 College World Series championship.
