COLUMBIA – Head Coach Mark Kingston announced his opening weekend rotation this afternoon (Tuesday, Feb. 16) for the three-game series against Dayton. The Gamecocks will go with redshirt junior Thomas Farr, senior Brannon Jordan and redshirt sophomore Julian Bosnic for the first three contests.
 
Farr gets the ball on Opening Day after going 3-0 with a 1.72 ERA in three starts for the Gamecocks in 2020. Farr struck out 14 batters in 16.2 innings pitched while holding opponents to a .113 batting average. He earned his biggest win on Feb. 29 against Clemson, allowing just two hits in five innings with three strikeouts.
 
Jordan is in the opening weekend rotation for the second straight season. He was 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four starts in 2020, striking out 32 batters in 21 innings pitched. Jordan was second in the SEC with a .104 opponent’s batting average and had nine strikeouts in five innings in the opening weekend win over Holy Cross.
 
Bosnic did not allow an earned run in 6.2 innings of work last season, earning wins on the mound against The Citadel and North Florida. Against the Bulldogs, Bosnic struck out three in 2.1 innings of work.
