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.

Could SC’s election rules shape who decides to run for Graham’s US Senate seat?

Could SC’s election rules shape who decides to run for Graham’s US Senate seat?

(WPDE) — A social media post from U.S. Rep. William Timmons is drawing attention to a South Carolina election-law scenario that could shape whether some members of Congress decide to run for Sen. Lindsey Graham’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Under the timeline outlined, a sitting member of Congress could win reelection to the U.S. House and also win the open U.S. Senate seat on Election Day, Nov. 3. Because a person cannot serve in both offices, the lawmaker would have to choose.

If the member chose the Senate seat, the change would take effect when the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3. At that point, the person would leave their House seat to serve in the Senate.

Unlike a U.S. Senate vacancy, a U.S. House seat cannot be filled by appointment. Instead, a special election would be required to choose a new representative. Until that special election is held, the House seat would remain vacant.

Timmons said the temporary vacancy could matter because the House elects its speaker when the new Congress begins on Jan. 3. With Republicans expected to hold a narrow majority, Timmons argues that even one temporary vacancy could make it more difficult for Speaker Mike Johnson to secure enough votes to keep the speaker’s gavel.

The next step in the process comes Tuesday, when candidate filing for the special Republican primary opens. Filing closes July 28.

Observers will be watching whether the issue affects who files for the race and whether any lawmakers propose changes to the election process.

Lindsey Graham’s sister sworn in as the South Carolina senator’s successor

Lindsey Graham’s sister sworn in as the South Carolina senator’s successor

WASHINGTON, D.C. –

Less than 72 hours after the sudden passing of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, his sister was sworn in to finish his term.

Darlene Graham Nordone took the oath on Tuesday, saying it’s what her brother would have wanted.

Having served in the Senate for almost two and a half decades, Senator Graham was well-liked by his Republican colleagues, generally well-respected by Democrats, and well-known across the country.

Taking the oath on the Senate floor, Darlene Graham Nordone, the younger sister of Lindsey Graham, officially became his successor. A ceremonial swearing-in followed in the old Senate chamber.

Senator James Lankford (R-OK) prayed for Graham’s family Monday as he remembered his friend.

“He’s a person that loved his body, loved the country, and loved the people of South Carolina. And it showed,” said Lankford.

Senator Alan Armstrong (R-OK), who went through a similar selection and swearing-in process just a few months ago, told Bloomberg TV he had come to respect Graham during their brief overlap.

“People knew him for somebody that would speak his mind and was clear and convincing in his argument,” said Armstrong.

As a strong backer of Ukraine, one of Graham’s final acts was to get White House backing for a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill.
