Gamecocks Stun UNC in Wild 16-14 Thriller | College Basketball News

South Carolina softball stunned UNC with a 16-14 thriller in eight innings, securing a crucial road win that pushes them closer to a .500 record and NCAA Tournament eligibility. After a blistering five-run first, UNC surged ahead with an 11-run fourth, but South Carolina battled back, tying it in the sixth and then stealing the lead for good in the top of the eighth when Tori Ensley launched a two-run homer. Arianna Rodi fueled the comeback with two homers and key RBIs, while UNC’s Emily LeGette smashed her 25th home run — a school record — in the losing effort. The Gamecocks now host Texas A&M this weekend, with Friday’s opener on ESPN2. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
