South Carolina baseball game — South Carolina baseball‘s chance to play in a Super Regional took a hit Saturday after falling 8-6 to NC State.
With the loss, the Gamecocks (37-24) move into an elimination game Sunday (noon) and a rematch against James Madison. South Carolina vanquished the Dukes (35-24) in extra innings on Friday.
If South Carolina beats James Madison, the Gamecocks will get the Wolfpack (35-20) for the second game on Sunday (6 p.m.). If the Gamecocks win, it comes down to a third game against NC State on Monday.

Ethan Petrie is back in the lineup at designated hitter for South Carolina
Star first baseman Ethan Petrie did not play in South Carolina’s loss to NC State on Saturday. Gamecocks coach Mark Kingston said on the broadcast that Petrie was unable to play because of a hairline fracture in his left hand, which was hit by a pitch on Friday.
Petrie returned to the lineup at the designated hitter spot on Sunday.
South Carolina Baseball game vs. JMU Predictions
South Carolina tops JMU 7-5. This will likely be another close game but it really depends on the condition of Ethan Petrie. The Dukes are talented and gave the Gamecocks plenty of trouble on Friday but the defense was weak for South Carolina in the win. If Petrie returns, Cole Messina gets hot again, and the Gamecocks play an error-free game like Saturday, it could be another South Carolina win.
