The Gamecocks would make it 4-1 in the fourth off a solo home run from Nathan Hall.

Brayden Jones would relieve Riley Maddox after 2.1 innings. Jones would go two scoreless frames, surrendering just one hit. Walker Hooks would enter for Jones with one out in the fifth and generated a 6-4-3 double play to keep Carolina off the board.
