Final Record: 47-22
Finish: 7th at College World Series
The last Gamecock team to make the College World Series in the 80s was one of the most prolific offensive teams ever to pull on the Garnet & Black. South Carolina hit 144 home runs that year and scored 629 runs (program records that still stand today). Carolina also had 773 hits, the second most in school history.
South Carolina reached Omaha by sweeping a six-team regional that included wins over Clemson, Virginia Tech, Ohio State and Maine. But the Gamecocks struggled again at Rosenblatt Stadium, losing twice to go home early. Arkansas defeated Carolina 1-0 in the opener in 14 innings before Oklahoma State eliminated the Gamecocks again, 16-11.
