Series Primer: No. 24 South Carolina At No. 1 Tennessee
After suffering a brutal series sweep at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs this past weekend, the South Carolina Gamecocks are looking to prevent things from snowballing in their regular series finale against the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers, who have won eight straight series dating back to late March. The Vols have won each of the last four series against the Gamecocks.
The biggest reason Tennessee has had the significant success they’ve seen this season is their batting lineup. Looking at just league play, the Volunteers rank in the Top 4 in the SEC in batting average, hits, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, home runs, and RBIs. Three Tennessee batters have hit eight homers or more in SEC play, with Christian Moore hitting a ridiculous 17 bombs to go along with a .413 batting average and 1.325 OPS. He should get the Charlie Condon treatment beyond the first inning.
Where Carolina could make hay in this series is against the Volunteers’ pitching staff. The Volunteers have an interesting contrast on their stat sheet, as while they have the least amount of walks given up in conference play, they have the fifth-worst mark in the league when it comes to the batting average they allow. This indicates that Tennessee pounds the strike zone and challenges hitters. Based on these numbers, with the Gamecocks in ‘wounded animal mode,’ they need to be aggressive at the plate to take some of the weight off their pitchers and give themselves a better shot of pulling off the upset.
Thursday
South Carolina Ty Good (5th RHP) 5-1, 3.21 ERA, 47.2 IP, 21 BB, 63 SO

Former South Carolina starter commits to ACC school via transfer portal
Former South Carolina football offensive lineman Cason Henry announced his intention to transfer in December. Just a couple of weeks later, he has found a new school to call home.
According to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos, Henry has committed to the Louisville Cardinals. He will join Louisville as a fifth-year senior, but pending medical redshirts, he could have multiple years left to play.
Henry earned a starting gig for South Carolina ahead of the last three seasons. However, he saw action in just six combined games in 2023 and 2025 as he dealt with injuries. He started all 13 games of 2024 at right tackle. That year, he was one of the team’s most improved players from season’s beginning to season’s end.
Henry was the top-performing overall blocker for the Gamecocks at the beginning of 2025. However, a shoulder injury ended the 6-6, 310-pound tackle’s season after just four games.
Henry was a three-star prospect back in the class of 2022 out of Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia.
