South-Carolina
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.

South Carolina Ty Good (5th RHP) 5-1, 3.21 ERA, 47.2 IP, 21 BB, 63 SO

Richard Hricik, South Carolina’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, has officially launched his campaign for November’s general election.
Hricik was unopposed in the primary, automatically advancing to the ballot in November. He will now race against the Republican nominee David Stumbo, who beat Republican challenger Stephen Goldfinch in a runoff on June 23.
Hricik launched his campaign on June 25, just two days after the Republican primary runoff concluded.
In a press release Hricik, a Charleston attorney of more than 25 years, said that his campaign focuses on the fact that the rule of law should protect everyone equally.
“The Rule of Law isn’t red or blue. It has to apply to everyone, and be defended for everyone,” Hricik said. “An Attorney General who treats the law as their own political agenda — who protects some people and not others — threatens our democracy and makes every South Carolinian’s rights less safe. If someone attacks the State House in Columbia, I won’t ask who they voted for; it won’t matter — they are going to prison. That’s the law, and the Attorney General’s job is to defend and uphold The Rule of Law. For everyone.”
Hricik also announced that he has a no-money pledge for his campaign.
“An Attorney General is supposed to answer to two things: You and The Rule of Law. No one and nothing else,” Hricik said. “So, I take no money — not from special interests, not even from myself. That’s not a gimmick. It’s my firewall against corruption and influence. When you owe no one, you can fight for everyone and The Rule of Law.”
There has not been a Democrat in the attorney general office since Thomas Medlock, who left office in 1995.
Stumbo, who is currently serving a fourth term as Solicitor for the Eighth Judicial Circuit of South Carolina, ran his primary campaign on the basis of being a career prosecutor and lifelong Republican.
On runoff election night, Stumbo and his supporters gathered at the City Club of Greenville to watch results come in. In his winning speech that night, Stumbo said that while there hasn’t been a Democratic attorney general in South Carolina in many years, there would still be work ahead.
“We still got a lot of work to do, and I need everyone in this room fighting like crazy for the next few months to make sure that when we’re standing there on election night in November that we are officially the next attorney g eneral of South Carolina,” Stumbo said.
