Kerry's complete game shutout was the first for USC in 7 years

94 pitches . . . . an awesome performance!

That is an incredible performance! This could bode very well for the team down the stretch and also the upcoming tournaments.

Maybe go to closer by committee. I don't see anyone that would be automatically a closer.

So is Kentucky that bad, was it a lucky game, or have we had a top notch starter coming from the pen all season?

Kerry should've been in the weekend starting rotation for the past 3 years! It was obvious to a lot of Gamecock baseball followers. Doesn't bolster my confidence that Kingston or Meade know what they're doing even a little bit.

Ky had the third best batting average in the league and even after the sweep still has an overall winning record on the season- coming into this game they were only one game behind us in the conference standings… So, no they are not “that bad”- they are actually a pretty good team. Their pitching has not been on par with Vandy or some of the better teams in our conference but is probably on par with or better than most non-SEC opponents we will face in the tourney.
