Petry is hitting .435 on the year.

Carolina was down 5-4 in the eighth inning on Sunday but Gavin Casas and Will McGillis hit back-to-back home runs to help the Gamecocks win 6-5. It’s the third time this season the Gamecocks have hit back-to-back home runs. Casas is tied for the team lead with five while McGillis has four round trippers.

Braylen Wimmer had another strong week for the Garnet and Black, going 7-for-17 with eight runs scored, a triple, two home runs, five RBI and five stolen bases to go along with a .600 on-base percentage.
