-Yesterday's win against Arizona State marked the first time the Gamecocks had defeated the No. 1 ranked team in two of the major sports in the year. The other win over a No. 1 team was the men's basketball team's win against Kentucky.
-Arizona State became the first No. 1 ranked team since seeding began at the College World Series in 1999 to be eliminated after two games. It was also the first time this season that the Sun Devils lost consecutive games all season.
-In yesterday's post-game press conference, South Carolina head coach Ray Tanner remarked that pitcher Blake Cooper could be available for Thursday's game after throwing just 64 pitches against Oklahoma on Sunday night.
-After throwing nearly 40 pitches against the Sun Devils, Tanner indicated that closer Matt Price would still be available if necessary on Thursday.
-Outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. continues to terrorize opposing pitching at the College World Series. The sophomore extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a lead-off single in the first inning against Arizona State. In Omaha, Bradley is 5-8 with 2 home runs, 6 RBI and 2 runs. He's also reached base after being hit by a pitch, walking and grounding into a fielder's choice.
-After yesterday's hit parade against the Sun Devils, every player in the Gamecocks starting lineup recorded a hit except for first baseman Christian Walker. The second inning saw Carolina record its most hits in a single inning in a game this year.
