Guess pitching and defense do not win championships

The Gamecocks rank second in the SEC in opposing batting average as well as third in ERA and strikeouts. South Carolina’s 2.90 ERA in SEC games leads the conference. The Gamecocks have 162 strikeouts in 164.2 innings during conference play. During the Florida series, USC hurlers allowed just five runs in the first 24 innings to Gator hitters until the untimely eight-inning grand slam propelled UF to a 7-5 win on Saturday.

-- The Gamecocks are fielding .978 for the season with 18 games without an error. They are 13-5 when not committing an error. USC ranks third in the SEC in team fielding percentage.

That's basically it. There has to be a bare minimum of offensive stats to confirm that old saying.
