Kelsey Oh To Miss Remainder Of 2020 Season

Foot surgery will keep the pitcher out for the rest of the year.

 South Carolina softball's Kelsey Oh will miss the remainder of the season due to a surgery to repair a Lisfranc foot injury, head coach Beverly Smith announced today.

A junior from Verona, N.J., Oh sustained the injury during the first inning of the Boston College game on Feb. 21. She started the year with a 4-2 record in 32.2 innings of work with a team-best 51 strikeouts.

"I feel for Kelsey because she worked so hard to return from an injury she had last year," Smith said. "It's a disappointing loss for the pitching staff and team. But I am proud of how the younger members of the staff have stepped up and pitched well during her absence, and I expect them to continue to, as well. Kelsey plans to redshirt and will have two years of eligibility remaining when she returns."
