Checking in from Founders Park, where it feels like May in February. Temperature is in the 70s (!!!) as South Carolina baseball prepares to take on Gardner-Webb in its first night game of the season.
Max Kaufer gets the start behind the plate (Paul Mainieri said this would happen on Sunday), making him the 17th different gamecock position player to get a start this season. Jase Woita is also in the No. 2 hole as Mainieri continues looking for someone who can set the table for Ethan Petry. Fourth game in a row he's had someone new in that spot. Here's the full lineup with Jackson Soucie on the mound:
Nathan Hall - CF
Jase Woita - DH
Ethan Petry - 1B
Kennedy Jones - LF
Nolan Nawrocki - 2B
Dalton Mashore - RF
Henry Kaczmar - SS
KJ Scobey - 3B
Max Kaufer - C
Jackson Soucie - Pitcher
