All three games during opening weekend had a maximum capacity of 830 fans. Throwing out the first pitch on Friday night was Mitzi Beckham, who along with her husband David, continue to be honored by having the field named after them. Head women s basketball coach Dawn Staley and head football coach Steve Spurrier also helped out on opening weekend, throwing out first pitches on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. South Carolina got its first win in Carolina Softball Stadium history with a 5-0 shutout of Appalachian State on April 3, Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field has a seating capacity of 1,305, with full capacity including standing room only at 1,480. The stadium sits on the same site that the Gamecock Softball team has called home since Home plate has been in the same spot since the beginning of the 1997 season, when the former structure was built to usher in Southeastern Conference play. All time, South Carolina is (.720) on the site. Since being renamed Beckham Field in 1998, the Gamecocks own a (.629) mark on the field. A year after playing 17 games at home, the second-lowest mark in 16 years, the Gamecocks are one postseason game shy from tying the 2002 team s record with 36 home games. The Gamecocks drew even with the 1997 team s win total of 27 wins, the second most in the field s history. The Gamecocks went 27-8 at Carolina Softball Stadium this year. Out of those 35 home games, South Carolina posted a shutout in 13 of them. One loss even saw the Gamecocks throw a one-hitter (vs. No. 16/19 Minnesota, 3/19). Another loss came in a 1-0 extra-inning game (vs. Longwood 4/26) In the 29 home dates, the Gamecocks have posted paid crowds over 1,000 in 22 of them. Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field hosted the 2014 SEC Softball Tournament, won by Georgia for the first time. All five sessions of the event had attencance marks over 1,100, with Saturday s finals on ESPN2 hitting the stadium s capacity with standing room filled at 1,480. All nine games of the SEC Softball Tournament were on the ESPN family of networks, giving the program and stadium national exposure over those four days Tallahassee Regional - Page 2

3 South Carolina Team Notes South Carolina has recorded two new team single-season records this year, as the 50 home runs and 203 walks eclipses the previous marks of 45 HR last year and 173 BB in 1992, respectively. Sarah Mooney, a junior transfer from James Madison, has 11 home runs on the season, tying the single-season record set twice before by Evan Childs in 2012 and McKenna Hughes in South Carolina is 6-3 in its last nine games, with two of the losses coming in extra innings, the only extra-inning games this year. South Carolina is 7-7 in one-run games this season, two wins better than last year s 5-5. They went 5-9 during those contests in 2012 and 7-11 in Smith s first year of After posting only eight hits combined in the first two games, South Carolina tallied at least eight hits in the next seven and later had an eight-game skein (3/23 at Tenn., through 4/1 vs. Pres.). Overall, the Gamecocks have five or more hits in 45 games and eight or more in 26 of 55 outings. The Gamecocks have left the least runners on base in the SEC this season at 318. Freshman Kaylea Snaer has eight round-trippers, tying for seventh on the single-season charts. In the first 30 games, South Carolina scored five runs combined in the second inning. Over the last 25, the team has plated 28, including five in the second game of the Furman doubleheader. Awards Pouring in for Gamecocks Gamecock freshmen Nickie Blue and Kaylea Snaer both garnered spots on the SEC All-Freshman Team as voted on by the league s coaches. It s the first time since 2008 for South Carolina to received multiple people on any combination of the SEC s postseason awards. Blue started the team s weekly recognition haul with her Feb. 24 SEC Freshman of the Week win. Redshirt junior Julie Sarratt garnered SEC Pitcher of the Week honors on March 17 after helping the Gamecocks take the series from nationally-ranked Texas A&M. Seniors Ashlyn Masters (March 31) and Codee Yeske (May 5) both won SEC Player of the Week awards, the first time since 2005 the team had won two in a year. Blue also earned a spot on the first listing of 25 for the NFCA s inaugural National Freshman of the Year award. Senior Chelsea Hawkins gained a spot on the 2014 SEC Softball Community Service Team, while Sarratt made last year s. Ansley Ard, Brooke Barnhill, Dana Hathorn, Hawkins, Masters, Sarratt and Kristen Struett all made the SEC Academic Honor Rolls last season, part of 13 Gamecock softball players on the lists. A New (Ashlyn) Masters Tradition: Leading the Offense Senior Ashlyn Masters leads the Gamecocks in 10 offensive categories. She took over the leadoff spot in the middle of February. And she s scored 39 runs in those 47 games, more than any player s total this year, and tallying 27 of her 28 extra-base hits. She earned South Carolina s first SEC Player of the Week nod (on March 31) since 2005 with her performances against Furman and Mississippi. Her 19 doubles, tied for tops in the SEC, stands second at South Carolina in a season, one of six marks she has currently in the top 15 in a single season as a Gamecock. She s in the Gamecocks career top-10 in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, which can be found on page 10, along with the total of nine marks she owns in the top 20. Two hits separate Masters from qualifying for that career per-game listing. With multiple hits in 17 games, she leads the team. She s hitting.408 when playing a defensive position compared to.209 in 19 games as a designated/ offensive player. Family Ties The Masters sisters Ashlyn and Lauren are the first siblings to play on the same Gamecock team and the second set ever in the program s recorded history, after the Troesh sisters, Leanna ( ) and Debralee ( ). While both Williams, freshmen Taylor and Victoria are not sisters. Chelsea Hawkins is the niece of Tia Rogers ( letter-winner). Gamecocks Have a Rich History in NCAA Tournament South Carolina earned its 17th bid in the NCAA Tournament this season and its second straight. The Gamecocks are in those previous 16 trips, making three Women s College World Series in their history (1983, 1989 and 1997). The program has five AIAW World Series trips in its history as well prior to Four times, South Carolina has won a regional, the last in 2007 to advance into the program s only super regional.

Nickie Blue Julie Sarratt Lakyn Shull The Pitchers Reign Supreme Both redshirt junior Julie Sarratt and freshman Nickie Blue won SEC weekly awards in Blue has seven saves, second in a single season at Carolina, and Sarratt four, tied for fifth. Both are better in relief (Sarratt 1.12 ERA, Blue 1.62) than starting (Sarratt 3.06, Blue 3.79). The group posted a 29-inning scoreless streak from the final game at Florida Atlantic till the final game of the Gamecock Invitational. UNC Wilmington posted an unearned first-inning run to snap it. Longer than that stretch was the Gamecock pitchers no-homer stand, from the 4th against Ohio through the end of the UNC Wilmington game, lasting 72 innings. As a team, the Gamecock pitchers have allowed 0.52 homers, 0.08 triples and 0.80 doubles per game, which stand first, sixth and sixth in the league, respectively. The staff has given up 120 runs in the first three innings of games (165 IP) and only 88 runs in the innings 4-7 this season (in innings). Blue s Been Best in Big Games Nickie Blue garnered a spot on the inaugural NFCA Division I Freshman of the Year listing of the 25 finalists. Blue leads the SEC in three categories: appearances (45), saves (7) and wild pitches (18). Her seven saves also stand atop the NCAA Division I stat rankings. When Blue pitches, she s produced nearly double the ground-ball outs (235) versus fly outs (118). Lefties have more trouble against Blue, hitting.170 (23-of-135) with two strikes (and.208 overall) with 57 of her strikeouts against lefty batters in over 120 less at-bats than vs. righties. Blue earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors on Feb. 24 after picking up a win and two saves in relief as well as her first career shutout vs. Michigan State. Blue has two marquee wins on the season, both complete-game victories at ranked opponents in the 3-2 victory at No. 3/3 Arizona State and the 1-0 triumph at No. 15/17 Georgia. Against the Bulldogs, Blue struck out a career-best seven and held UGA to its lowest hit total of the season to date, allowing only three. She also tossed a shutout in the 8-0 (5) win over No. --/24 LSU. Savvy Veteran Sarratt Striking Down Foes Julie Sarratt picked up SEC Pitcher of the Week honors on March 17 after going 2-0 with a save the week prior, which included a complete-game, nine strikeout win over No. 13/15 Texas A&M. Last year s leader in wins, ERA, innings pitched and strikeouts, Sarratt has 12 career marks in South Carolina s top 15 in her third year active on the roster. Sarratt s fanned 136 batters in 160 innings, a rate (5.95 K/7IP), over a strikeout better her career standard (4.56 K/7IP) entering the year. Sarratt struck out a career-high 10 in the win over Maryland, while she sat down nine in her complete-game victory over No. 13/15 Texas A&M, her best in an SEC game. She is at her best with two strikes against right-handed hitters, holding them to a.150 batting average (28-of-187) with 84 of her K s in those circumstances. We Scheduled Strong Foes (And The SEC Is Tough Too) The Gamecocks played 24 of their 54 regular-season games against teams who made the 2013 NCAA Tournament. South Carolina downed No. 3/3 Arizona State and went 8-16 against those teams in A total of 35 of the Gamecocks scheduled games came against teams that finished in the top 100 of the NCAA s Ratings Percentage Index last year. Of those, 21 were against RPI top-50 teams. After facing nothing but NCAA Tournament participants in SEC play in 2013, SC had two conference weekends against non-tourney teams in 2014 (home vs. Mississippi & Auburn). Two of the Gamecocks SEC contests were on national television, including the opening game to ESPN s national coverage at Tennessee on March 23. And This Is How Tough It s Been When looking at this year s RPI, the Gamecocks are against top-100 RPI teams, with the only loss outside of the top 100 coming to Maryland (147). South Carolina rebounded to beat Maryland the next day. Entering the NCAA Tournament, South Carolina is 7-15 against RPI top-50 squads. Only Fordham (55) has an RPI above 50 in the Tallahassee Regional. South Carolina played 11 of the 63 other teams in the NCAA Tournament, going 9-16 against those squads. Six of those 11 were SEC foes, teams that the Gamecocks went 6-12 against during the year. Five of the 11 earned national seeds, with the Gamecocks posting a 2-10 mark against them (No. 2 Alabama, No. 4 Georgia, No. 9 Arizona State, No. 10 Tennessee, No. 16 Minnesota) Tallahassee Regional - Page 4

The Gamecocks, with a.458 winning percentage this season, last had a mark in SEC play higher in 2003, when the team went (.643). South Carolina dropped eight of its first nine road contests in SEC play in Those eight losses came against the No. 1, 3 and 6 ranked pitching staffs in ERA and 1, 2 and 5 offenses by batting average in the SEC stat rankings for league games only. In SEC play, Alabama holds the league s best mark with a 2.52 ERA, while Tennessee ranks 3rd at 3.24 and Georgia 6th at UGA s Chelsea Wilkinson claimed the SEC Tournament MVP award, going 3-0 with a 1.07 ERA.

The home series loss came to the third-best team by batting average, LSU (.300). Monumental Series Wins for SC and Coach Smith vs. Texas A&M & Auburn For the first time in program history, South Carolina won two series from ranked SEC opponents, taking two games from both Texas A&M and Auburn at the league s newest stadium. South Carolina won its first series over a ranked SEC opponent since 2009 with a doubleheader sweep of No. 13/15 Texas A&M on March 15. The second series win over the Auburn Tigers secured the eighth seed in the SEC Tournament. In the Auburn series, the Tigers were held to 11 runs, their second-lowest output in SEC play this year (vs. Florida, 8). Senior Codee Yeske earned SEC Player of the Week accolades after helping the Gamecocks to the two wins to end the weekend. The A&M triumphs count as the first SEC series win in Carolina Softball Stadium. The second win over the Aggies on March 15 marked Beverly Smith s 100th at South Carolina. The come-from-behind win in game one in the bottom of the seventh is the first since March 11, 2012 vs. Arkansas. Both of those games featured two-run, walk-off homers, Evan Childs with the one over the Hogs in 2012 and Ashlyn Masters with the shot against the Aggies. Entering the seventh tied, the Gamecocks won their first game in that scenario in Five times, South Carolina did that in 2013, with three in SEC play (at Mississippi State and at Auburn twice). Julie Sarratt earned SEC Pitcher of the Week honors for getting the win and the save during the doubleheader along with her win over Eastern Kentucky on March 11. Milestone Wins for Gamecocks, Coach Smith Already Passed in 14 South Carolina has played 2,049 games in its softball history, going (.653) in its 41st season of sponsorship.

Only on four occasions have they won when allowing that many hits. All but two of South Carolina s losses have come when they ve given up four or more earned runs. In fact, of the 157 team earned runs allowed, 118 have come in the 20 losses. The first loss without four earned runs allowed for the Gamecocks came in the first game at Arkansas (4/11), where five errors led to 10 unearned Arkansas runs in the setback.

9 Runners on Third with Less Than Two Outs One Indicator of Gamecock Success As a team, the Gamecocks have scored 57.3 percent (71 of 124) of runners from third with less than two outs, standing fifth in the SEC. The league as a whole averaged 53.7 percent. The college upperclassmen have come through with runners on third and less than two outs, as Dana Hathorn, Chelsea Hawkins, Olivia Lawrence, Ashlyn Masters, Sarah Mooney, Kristen Struett and Codee Yeske have posted 42 RBI in 66 chances. The rest of the team is 29-for-58. Seniors Hathorn (7-of-9) and Hawkins (6-of-8) lead those efforts with runners on third and less than two outs. South Carolina is 9-14 when getting one or less runners to third with less than two outs this season. Only four times have the Gamecocks gotten three or more runners to third with less than two outs and not won the game (2/28 vs. Minnesota, 3/9 at Alabama, 3/14 vs. Texas A&M, 3/22 at Tenn.) Snaer Drives The Middle of the Order Freshman Kaylea Snaer started the first 46 games before an arm injury took her out of the lineup. She resumed practicing this week with hopes of returning during the Tallahassee Regional. While she s been out, the Gamecocks have managed to go 6-3. She has eight homers (T-7th) and 28 walks (T-7th), both in SC s top 10 in a season. Her 35 RBI are four shy of a spot on the single-season charts. Earning a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team, she had 14 hits in 20 league games, with nine going for extra bases (4 2B, 5 HR). Snaer s posted two or more hits 11 times and multiple RBI in 12 games, the latter tops on the team. Eighteen of Snaer s 35 RBI have come with two outs.

It was the team s second win at the home of a ranked team in 2014, joining the 3-2 victory at No. 3/3 Arizona State. South Carolina s 3-2 win at No. 3/3 Arizona State marked the first win (and second all-time) at a top-five team s park since March 13, 2004, a 6-4 win in nine innings at LSU. South Carolina swept Mississippi at home over March 29-30, the first SEC home series sweep since the Rebels last visit in The Sunday win over Ole Miss, which came by scoring two runs in its final at-bat, ranks as the first this season for SC when it enters the seventh trailing. In the Ball State loss, South Carolina snapped a streak of 11 games with one or no errors, a stretch that included a 10-game winning streak. The Gamecocks win in game one against Western Carolina came when they were down after five innings, the first South Carolina triumph coming back that late in a game this season. The four double plays in the Florida Atlantic win (2/16) is believed to be a school record, as it matches what was once listed but could not be verified. This year s 14-2 start is bettered only by a 12-1 mark by the 2009 team in the last six years of Gamecock Softball.

Alaynie Page needs to be hit by one more pitch to tie for 10th with four other players. Olivia Lawrence s next HBP ties her with Lauren Lackey ( ) and Lindsay Walker ( ) in 18th.
