Offense trying to get back on track as Tennessee comes to Founders Park
By Collyn Taylor
South Carolina saw something Tuesday night it hadn’t seen at the plate in a while.
Talmadge LeCroy was down a quick 0-2 in his at-bat before fouling off five pitches and launching at the time a two-run, game-tying home run.
The at-bat personified what the Gamecocks had been through the first 40 games of the season and something it had gotten away from over the last three SEC series.
“Over the past couple of weeks, I feel like we’ve been trying to go get the game a little bit and not let it come to us. We have to let it come to us and let our ability do the work. See the ball well and do not try to force things. People feel like they have a lot of pressure on them putting them in spots they don’t want to be put in or haven’t been put in ever,” LeCroy said.
