Baseball Defeats The Citadel for Fifth Win in a Row

by Kent Reichert

The Gamecocks had three home runs and Noah Myers was 4-for-4 in the win.

COLUMBIA – Noah Myers was 4-for-4 with three RBI and a trio of Gamecocks hit home runs as the University of South Carolina baseball team defeated The Citadel, 10-1, Tuesday night (March 10) at Founders Park for its fifth straight victory.
 
The Citadel scored a run on three hits in the first but the next hit the Gamecock pitching staff gave up was in the eighth frame. Carolina tied the game in the second on Andrew Eyster’s fourth home run of the season and took the lead for good in the third on Brady Allen’s two-run single.
 
Myers led off the fifth with a single and scored on Jeff Heinrich’s double in the right field gap. Heinrich trotted home on Brennan Milone’s first career home run. Myers singled home George Callil in the sixth to give the Gamecocks a 7-1 lead. The scoring ended in the eighth as Allen homered to lead off the frame and Myers singled in a pair.
 
Myers reached base five times in the win while Allen was 2-for-4 with three RBI. Julian Bosnic earned the win on the mound, striking out three in 1.2 innings of relief. The Gamecocks used seven pitchers in the win, allowing just four hits with 12 strikeouts.
