South-Carolina
No. 20 South Carolina Vs. No. 2 Arkansas
After winning their first road series of the season this past weekend against the then-No. 24 ranked Florida Gators and getting past a historically pesky road game against the Citadel Bulldogs this past Tuesday, Mark Kingston and the South Carolina Gamecocks now set their sights on one of the best programs in the country in the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Hogs have been dominant to this point in the season, losing only one three-game series, which occurred last weekend against then-No. 25 Alabama, and three conference games overall. This series has been unkind to the Gamecocks in recent years, who have dropped three-game sets against the Razorbacks in two of the past three seasons.
Arkansas has four batters with an OPS of .900 or better in SEC play, with Peyton Stovall leading the way, slashing a line of .310/.406/.552. The pitching staff for the Razorbacks is arguably one of the most elite groups in the country, with the staff having compiled a 2.96 ERA through 15 conference games; Hagen Smith spearheads the group with a 5-0 record, 1.20 ERA and 4.90 strikeout-to-walk ratio with SEC opponents batting only .155 against him. South Carolina’s pitching staff likely won’t be able to match the Hogs, but they’ll need one of their better collective performances of the season this weekend. The crowd will also have to get behind the team, as the one blemish on Arkansas’ résumé is that they’re .500 (3-3) in SEC road games.

An 87-year-old businessman in Columbia, South Carolina says he has no plans to retire.
Leonard Fabrizio works as a retailer at Brittons of Columbia, a locally-owned men’s clothing store.
“I’m not the type of person who can sit around by myself,” said Fabrizio. “I just enjoy the interaction and that’s the big thing, is the interaction with people. It’s always been the drive in this business for me, said Fabrizio.
Fabrizio’s retail career began as a college student when he worked at J.C. Penney. He has watched Columbia grow and has owned a store and managed several others.
His advice is to “Be patient. It takes time to build a business. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s rewarding. It’s fun. But you have to have compassion for the business.”
Fabrizio recently celebrated another birthday alongside those who have supported his career.
(WPDE) — June 9 marked International Batten Disease Awareness Day, shining a light on a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder.
It primarily affects children and causes harmful waste material to build up inside the cells of the brain and nervous system.
One South Carolina family used the day to raise awareness as their 2-year-old son, Sam Stockton, lives with CLN2 Batten disease.
Sam was diagnosed at 16 weeks old, and his family says they travel every other week for enzyme-replacement therapy while also searching for clinical research opportunities.
Through Hope for Sam, the family is working to spread information about Batten disease and support other families facing rare diseases.
“Just the more you know about rare diseases, I never knew that over 300 million people worldwide live with rare diseases. And that means there’s less access to care because people aren’t researching it and not as many people have it. So the more information that’s out there, we feel is the better,” Jordan Stockton said.
There are 13 known types of Batten disease, and there is no cure. Researchers estimate the disease affects about two to four out of every 100,000 births in the United States.
The Stockton family says they have found support through the Batten Disease Support, Research and Advocacy Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families navigate the disease while providing resources.
