USC Baseball faces a big weekend series

USC (34-15) travels to ARK-kanas (28-20, 10-13) for a crucial weekend series in Baum Stadium, Fayetteville, Ark.

This weekend’s series is the first between the two since 2005. The teams faced each other twice in last year’s SEC tournament, with Arkansas winning both games.

The Gamecocks have plenty of work to do. Yes, they’re 13-11, but a berth in the SEC Tournament is still far from a sure thing. By this time next week, we’ll be talking about how USC did in its series at Arkansas. Without question, the road has been a difficult place for USC to play since the middle of March. The fact they’re even 4-8 on the road in conference play this season is due largely to the three-game sweep over Auburn on the Plains. USC is 1-7 in the other three series. Arkansas is one-half game behind Kentucky and Tennessee in the race for the final berth in the SEC Tournament. You know the Razorbacks will come ready to play.

It is time for Tanner and the boys to step up and play some ball....it is May and the CWS is round the corner!
