Tremendous, tremendous work from Chris Veach there. Gets a strikeout and a soft groudout to escape the jam.
Auburn strands the bases loaded, and the Gamecocks get a huge lift going to the bottom of the 7th still down just a run.
Veach did exactly what this team has sorely been needing all weekend from its pitchers: Kept the ball in the yard, and threw strikes.

Aaaaand another pitching change. Now it's Tanner Bauman.
If I didn't know any better I'd say Auburn was strying to stall for a travel curfew cut-off, but they took the bus here and don't have one.
Second and first, nobody out for Carson Hornung against Tanner Bauman.

Oh my goodness. That has to be the most surprising moment in this season full of them.
Horung lined out to left and then on a 1-2 pitch Will Tippett -- who is hitting .130 and has no home runs this season -- absolutely blasted a 3-run home run out to left field. Unbelievable, to say the least.
8-6 Gamecocks on the unlikliest of all unlikely bombs.

Dylan Brewer gets dinged by a pitch, and that's a piece of history.
The 90th HBP of the season for this team, breaking the school record for beanballs in a season set in 2010.
He then hops down to second on a bad pickoff throw, Auburn's third of the day aaaaaand that leads to another pitching change.
Kameron Keshock is in now.

Second and first nobody out after a Howell single.
Pinch hitter Justin Kirby taps down to Messina at third. He steps on the bag and then fires over to first looking for a double play, but Kirby beats it down there. Still two on, now one out for LaRue, who already has a homer today.

Irish pops out to Tippett (who else?) in foul territory and is out of the jam. Just an incredible job by Veach to strand six runners in the last two innings.
Gamecocks will try to add some insurance in the bottom half now, leading by two.

And that's your ballgame as Braswell flips to Tippett (who else?) for the final out on a fielder's choice.
Crazy, crazy game but a badly needed win for South Carolina. Will be in Rock Hill on Wednesday for a road midweek, then at Kentucky next weekend starting on Friday.
