Pitching Staff, Stratis Lift The Citadel to Shutout Victory at South Carolina, 4-0
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Citadel (22-22) secured the season series sweep over in-state foe South Carolina (22-24) via a 4-0 decision at Founders Park on Tuesday night. The Bulldogs’ pitching staff delivered a complete-game shutout, allowing only three hits to the Gamecocks.
Michael Gibson delivered a competitive performance at the plate with three hits, bringing his average to. 377, and drove in one run. Christian Stratis contributed significantly with three hits and three RBIs, good for his third three-RBI game of the season, as he bumped his batting average up to .343. TJ Anderson made an impact by scoring two runs.
Notably, the 2026 campaign marks the first time since 2009 that the Bulldogs have beaten the Gamecocks in both contests of the annual home-and-home setup, sweeping the season series. Additionally, the win also serves as the first time since 2011 that The Citadel has held South Carolina scoreless in a game, and the first time ever that The Citadel has done so in Columbia, S.C.
The Bulldogs’ pitching staff delivered a strong performance against the Gamecocks, holding them scoreless throughout the game. Trip Brown pitched 4.0 innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two batters. Zane Davis secured the win with 2.0 innings of scoreless relief. Ben Brash finished with a clean inning, yielding no hits or runs. Gibson closed the game with a save, striking out four batters over 2.0 innings and allowing only one hit. He is now tied for the Southern Conference lead with six saves.
“Our goal is to play well and be more consistent, and I thought we had a great week of playing consistently. I thought we were good on the mound, and we keep working on attacking the zone. We used five different guys tonight,” said head coach Russell Triplett. “To show a shutout on the road, it doesn’t matter who you are playing; you must pitch well. I thought our guys did an unbelievable job. Brown set the tone, attacked the zone early, and only gave up one free base. I thought our bullpen did a good job, and Gibson came in at the end. I thought it was big for us to compete in the zone as we did.”
Up next, the Bulldogs face Presbyterian in a three-game series over the weekend. The Citadel heads to Clinton, S.C., for an away game on May 1, then returns home to host on May 2, and then returns to Presbyterian on May 3.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) — Hundreds of South Carolina Democrats gathered at the State Fairgrounds on Saturday for the party’s annual convention, rallying supporters, hearing from candidates and celebrating what they called a major political win.
The event brought together candidates, elected officials, party activists and voters ahead of what many hope will be a competitive election cycle.
Party leaders and attendees praised the recent failure of a Republican-led redistricting proposal in the state Senate, calling it a victory for fair representation.
“I’m happy that the people responded with clear heads. I’m happy that we will have a fair and free election, and we’re maintaining our democracy in the state. I’m from Cluburn’s District. I’m from Colleton County South Carolina so this is personal to me,” said DeShawn Blanding, a candidate for South Carolina commissioner of agriculture.
Dr. Annie Andrews, a candidate for U.S. Senate, said, “That was a win for democracy people like to say it was a win for Democrats. Yes it was but it was a win for democracy. South Carolina has 40% Democrats. We deserve some representation in our congressional delegation.”
Mayra Rivera-Vázquez, a candidate for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, said the outcome showed statewide resolve. “That’s the power of the low country and the power of all the state, showing that we are no one to be directed from someone in Washington, that we are the ones that were gonna control our destiny here,” she said.
But as party members celebrated, a dispute between gubernatorial candidates created tension inside the convention.
Gubernatorial candidate Mullins McLeod announced he would not share the stage with his fellow Democratic candidates during the event.
“I just wanted to go on the record and tell you why I was not gonna share the stage with three people whose platforms would violate will of the people in South Carolina,” McLeod said.
McLeod also accused fellow Democrat Jermaine Johnson of siding with Republicans. “Jermaine Johnson is getting ready to tell all these people how he is for them, but he and I both know that he has voted with the Republican establishment more than 90% of the time,” he said.
Johnson, a Democratic state representative for District 52, responded to McLeod’s allegations and his decision not to appear onstage with the other candidates.
Hopefully he can get the help that he needs. We’re watching a mental health crisis in front of our eyes and I’m just praying for him,” Johnson said.
