Lee also said that Talmadge LeCroy will travel to Lexington this weekend and will workout tomorrow to determine how big of a role he can have.

GamecockScoop - Gamecocks slug four homers in 6-1 midweek win at Winthrop

South Carolina scored five late runs to blow it open in Rock Hill.

Bottom 6 1-1. Cocks playing very uninspired baseball. The bats have sure cooled off since the Florida series.

Thoughts...

That should fill the last roster spot for the upcoming season.

Checking in from Founders Park for game two of the series, where there's more bad news for South Carolina before we've even started. Braylen Wimmer is not in the lineup after his hamstring injury last night, and Talmadge LeCroy is not either. Gamecocks are about as thin as possible on the infield right now, starting Cole Messina at third base today. That puts Jonathan French back in the lineup, and also Caleb Denny takes Evan Stone's spot after his two hits off the bench yesterday.

New lead-off hitter as well with Wimmer's absence juggling the top of the lineup, now Carson Hornung is taking the lead-off spot. Here is your full lineup for the 4 p.m. first pitch on SEC Network+

Carson Hornung - DH
Dylan Brewer - CF
Ethan Petry - RF
Cole Messina - 3B
Michael Braswell - SS
Gavin Casas - 1B
Caleb Denny - LF
Jonathan French - C
Will Tippett - 2B

Jack Mahoney - P

Anybody still believe that was an accident?

Getting ready to hear from Travian Robertson for his introductory presser here. Updates to follow.

Dallas Cowboys fan here. Is Jalen Brooks any good? I see his stats. Saw one great 35 yard catch in the highlights

I guess the injuries gave them a pass.

Story from today's game with quotes from Mark Kingston and Will Tippett on today's gritty win, Tippett's home run and what this meant for the team.

Full weekend wrap and analysis will be up tomorrow morning for subscribers. And if you're not subscribed, what better time than now to start than with a month left until the NCAA Tournament?

Campbell Vandiver who visited for the spring game and got a PWO offer back in December has decided to come to Columbia, SC.

He’s 6’7” but certainly would need to put on a lot of weight to contribute. That said, the staff wanted him and you can’t teach that sort of height.

I love this concept because the model has been proven over and over and might have the highest success rate of any concept in the franchise industry.

I have around 90 employees in just one of my businesses, so no employees is a beautiful thing! The big negative is it's a big brick and mortar footprint which means high start-up costs and at least 12 months to get open due to lease negotiations and build-out.

Great news is the commercial real estate opportunities are increasing by the day right now and this business is one that Amazon/IT can never replace!

1. No Employees!!! Who doesn’t love that!!!???
2. Semi-absentee ownership model, but really more absentee than semi-absentee. This means 10-20 hours a week is necessary and keeping your day job is possible.
3. Brick and Mortar – big footprint of 4k-6k sq ft... which also means...
4. Higher start-up costs (500k-1MM)
5. Totally revamping their industry as professionals that work there make more money and become business owners rather than employees Day 1 – if they have a customer base.
6. Health, beauty, fitness type industry... not going to get specific there as it would give it away

Thanks for playing!

Quick story on the coaching staff change this morning:

Has Oregon State ever played South Carolina in football? It needs to happen.

Back at Fouders Park for the series finale, starting at 3 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN2 today. Gamecocks looking to salvage one game out of a disappointing weekend with Matthew Becker on the mound, opposed by Auburn's Will Cannon. Little bit of a lieup shakeup for Mark Kingston as he tries to get this offense going with limited bench options, and his new look order looks like this:

Dylan Brewer - CF
Michael Braswell - SS
Ethan Petry - RF
Cole Messina - 3B
Gavin Casas - 1B
Caleb Denny - LF
Jonathan French - C
Carson Horung - DH
Will Tippett - 2B

Matthew Becker - P

Would almost guarantee Eli Jones is the first pitcher out of the bullpen today, and you'll probably see Chris Veach, too.

Need 5-10 tickets to Winthrop game this Wednesday

FREE!!! To all those who correctly predicted this team's current ranking prior to the season start.

ALL ABOARD FOR OMAHA!!!

South Carolina received a commitment from six feet eight inch forward BJ Mack. This is an early surprise as Mack said he would announce his decision on four May. South Carolina beat out Alabama and Louisiana State for this commitment. This has been a world class commitment day for South Carolina.

Go Gamecocks!!!
