Final Record: 53-17
Finish: 3rd at College World Series
South Carolina would return to Omaha for the third straight time in 2004 after capturing the program's first SEC Tournament title and sweeping through NCAA regional play.
The Gamecocks hosted a regional at Sarge Frye Field, defeating North Carolina twice and The Citadel to advance to the Super Regional. East Carolina would come to Columbia for a shot at Omaha, but the Gamecocks prevailed in two games to book their ticket to the College World Series.
One of four SEC teams to make the field (Georgia, LSU and Arkansas also reached the CWS), South Carolina would lose its opener again, this time a 2-0 loss to eventual champion Cal State Fullerton. The Gamecocks would beat LSU in the CWS for the second consecutive year and defeat Miami to set up a rematch with Fullerton. Carolina beat Fullerton 5-3 to force an elimination game, but the Titans would win the rubber game 4-0 to end South Carolina's season.
