    Already leading 3-0 on Andrew Crisp's homer in the first inning, South Carolina (41-23) got consecutive homers in the second from Neil Giesler, Justin Smoak, Phil Disher, Crisp and Robbie Grinestaff to take a 9-0 lead.

    Starter and loser Mickey Westphal (7-2) gave up the first three and reliever Stephen Dodson the other two. All five came with two out in the inning.

    South Carolina tied the collegiate record set by Eastern Illinois against Morehead State in the fifth inning of their game April 10, 1998.

    South Carolina's James Darnell and Grinestaff added three-run homers to put Georgia (45-21) in a must-win situation in Sunday's game. Georgia never has lost an NCAA elimination game in Athens.

    South Carolina pitcher Harris Honeycutt (7-0) became the first Gamecock pitcher to solve Georgia this year. The Bulldogs swept the Gamecocks in a three-game SEC series here in early May.

    • The White Sox are the latest team to hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back (whew!) home runs. Jim Thome's 3-run shot, with 2 outs in the 6th inning against Kansas City on August 14th, 2008, was followed by solo home runs from Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe.
