The staff gave up 123 runs in the first three innings of games (174 IP) and only 98 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. Her seven saves stood atop the NCAA Division I stat rankings. Blue led the SEC in two categories: saves (7) and wild pitches (19). When Blue pitches, she s produced double the ground-ball outs (253) versus fly outs (123). Lefties had more trouble against Blue with two strikes, hitting.173 (24-of-139) (and.221 overall) with 57 of her strikeouts against lefty batters in 133 less at-bats than vs. righties.

Her top-two wins on the season were 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 that date, allowing only three. She also tossed a shutout in the 8-0 (5) win over No. --/24 LSU (4/20). 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 after her third year active on the roster. Sarratt s fanned 140 batters in innings, a rate (5.75 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 was at her best with two strikes against right-handed hitters, holding them to a.155 batting average (30-of-193) with 85 of her K s in those circumstances. Snaer Drove The Middle of the Order Freshman Kaylea Snaer started the first 46 games before an arm injury took her out of the lineup for three weeks, returning to start all three games of the Tallahassee Regional. While out, the Gamecocks managed to go 6-3 without their RBI (35) and walks (31) leader. She had eight homers (T-7th) and 31 walks (T-5th), both in SC s top 10 in a season. The first freshman to lead the Gamecocks in RBI since Jill Semento in 2008, Snaer earned thirdteam All-Southeast Region honors from the NFCA at first base. 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 came with two outs. We Scheduled Strong Foes 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. Final Page 4

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).

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.

Broken down by site, the Gamecocks are (.369) at home, (.148) on the road and (.414) in neutral-site outings. In 2014, the Gamecocks went 6-13 against teams ranked in the NFCA poll at the time of the game, including a 2-8 mark on the road. Twice, the Gamecocks won an SEC home series against ranked teams, downing Texas A&M and Auburn, the first time in history that had happened in the same season. Last season, the Gamecocks went 3-16 (.158) against ranked foes, including a 2-7 mark when playing in the opponent s home park (W s at LSU and Kentucky). South Carolina is now 2-24 against top-five opposition on the road, with one win being the 3-2 victory at No. 3/3 Arizona State on Feb. 27. In Wins and Losses, Who (and What) Stood Out? When the Gamecocks hit a homer, they went If they amass more hits than the foe, they went When holding opponents without a homer, South Carolina went In 16 of the 22 losses, the Gamecocks gave up eight hits or more. Only on four occasions did they win when allowing that many hits. All but three of South Carolina s losses came when they ve given up four or more earned runs. In fact, of the 168 team earned runs allowed, 127 came in the 22 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. The second setback came in the second game against Longwood (4/26), when one earned run on a wild pitch felled the Gamecocks in a 1-0 loss in eight innings. The final loss with only three earned runs allowed was the final game of the year vs. USF (5/17), as the Bulls scored twice in the seventh to eliminate SC from the Tallahassee Regional. As a team, the Gamecocks slugged.528 in wins and.362 in losses and reached base at a.421 clip in wins and just.323 in losses. The Gamecocks drew 141 walks and were hit 32 times in 36 wins and garnered only 69 free passes and 14 HBPs in 22 losses. Power providers in wins include Ashlyn Masters (.422 BA, 24 XBH in W s,.262 BA, 6 XBH in L s), Sarah Mooney (.733 slugging percentage in W s,.389 in L s) and Chelsea Hawkins (.310/.384/.529 in W s,.160/.311/.220 in L s). Other offensive catalysts include Ansley Ard (.446 BA in W s,.161 in L s), Codee Yeske (.447 OBP in W s,.325 in L s) and Kristen Struett (.390 OBP in W s,.264 in L s). Gamecock pitching had a 193:82 strikeout-to-walk (K:BB) ratio in wins and a 83:92 mark in losses. Julie Sarratt ended the year with a 103:37 K:BB ratio in innings in wins and a 36:37 ratio in 68 innings in losses. Nickie Blue posted a 81:41 K:BB rate in wins (118.1 IP) and 37:35 in losses. Runners on Third with Less Than Two Outs One Indicator of Gamecock Success As a team, the Gamecocks scored 56.3 percent (71 of 126) of runners from third with less than two outs, standing fourth in the SEC. The league as a whole averaged 53.7 percent. The college upperclassmen came 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 posted 42 RBI in 67 chances. The rest of the team is 29-for-59. Seniors Hathorn (7-of-9) and Hawkins (6-of-9) led those efforts with runners on third and less than two outs. South Carolina went when getting one or less runners to third with less than two outs in Only four times did 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.) Milestone Wins for Gamecocks, Coach Smith Already Passed in 14 South Carolina has played 2,052 games in its softball history, going (.652) in its 41st season of sponsorship. With the season-opening 1-0 win over Iowa, the Gamecocks gained their 1,300th program victory. Head coach Beverly Smith claimed second alone on SC s coaching wins list with a 9-1 (5) win in the first game of the doubleheader against Furman. She earlier took third with the 13-0 (5) victory vs. UNC Greensboro. She is the third Gamecock head coach to coach a fourth season at South Carolina, joining Piel and NFCA Hall-of-Fame coach Joyce Compton. Final Page 6

7 Some People Loved Home Cooking; Others Shined on the Road in 14 Ashlyn Masters tended to like playing at home, posting a.400 batting average and a.730 slugging percentage in Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field against.311 and.527, respectively, away from home. Ansley Ard also hit better at home (.415/.492/.566 vs..235/.297/.324). Chelsea Hawkins (.436 OBP vs..242) reached base more often at home. Olivia Lawrence exhibited more power at home (.724 slugging percentage in 29 AB vs..278 in 18). Brooke Barnhill scored 10 runs in 19 appearances away from Columbia, while she s scored only seven times in 24 home playing chances. Both of South Carolina s primary pitchers had ERAs under 2.05 at home and over 4.15 outside of the SEC s newest stadium. Helping home ERAs was the 190:79 K:BB ratio at Beckham Field compared to a 86:93 mark away. South Carolina Batting Around in 2014 On 19 occasions, the Gamecocks sent nine or more batters to the plate. Here are those times. Date Opponent Inn. Batters Runs 2/8 Presbyterian /8 Presbyterian /9 UNC Greensboro /10 UNC Greensboro /16 at Florida Atlantic /19 at Charlotte /22 Michigan State /25 Western Carolina /28 vs. Ball State /11 Eastern Kentucky /25 Furman /25 Furman /29 Mississippi /1 Charleston Southern /1 Presbyterian /11 at Arkansas /20 LSU /20 LSU /25 Longwood Notables from Earlier For the second-consecutive season, South Carolina claimed at least one SEC road series, taking two of three at Arkansas over April The Gamecocks won their first game at Georgia since March 28, 2001 in the first game of the April 5 doubleheader. 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. The 2007 Gamecocks went 24-3, the best start since the first year of SEC play. Bring on (or Back) the Doubleheaders in SEC Play Three times in 2014, the Gamecocks had to play Saturday doubleheaders to ensure completing a three-game series. South Carolina went 5-1 in those games, sweeping twinbills from Texas A&M and Mississippi at home before splitting the double dip at No. 15/17 Georgia. Friday nights were unkind, with the Gamecocks dropping all seven games started on the final day of the work week in SEC play.

Roller Coaster Ride in Tempe South Carolina picked up its second win in history in the home park of a top-five team when it downed No. 3/3 Arizona State 3-2 to open its stay in the ASU Louisville Slugger Invitational. Senior Chelsea Hawkins accounted for every Gamecock run, hitting a two-run homer for the initial lead and scoring the insurance run in the seventh after leading off the inning with a double. Hawkins went 3-for-3 in the win with a homer, double, two RBI and two runs scored. The seven total bases is the most for a Gamecock this year. Freshman Nickie Blue tossed 101 pitches, the most at that time in her budding college career, in the complete-game win. It s her second complete game as a Gamecock. Blue matched her then-career high by striking out five Sun Devils in the win. Over night, however, the team was swept by a virus that kept two players from the field on Friday and weakened many others. Ten student-athletes were treated for similar symptons during the trip. It still took allowing 11 and 10 runs to fall to No. 19/20 Minnesota and Ball State, respectively. In the two losses, South Carolina allowed seven earned runs in each. The team had been charged with 19 in the previous 16 games combined. The Gamecocks, after falling down 7-0 to Minnesota, cut the lead to 7-4 after five innings. In the Ball State contest, South Carolina scored seven in the sixth before succumbing to the Cardinals, who scored three in the bottom half of the sixth and two more in the final frame. Three Gamecocks homered against the Cardinals: junior Sarah Mooney, sophomore Jordan Bizzell and redshirt freshman Lauren Masters. It was the first career homer for Bizzell and Masters. One game was lost due to rain as well, the only rainout of the year for the Gamecocks.

9 Opening Weekend Notes South Carolina spent the opening weekend at home at the newly-finished Carolina Softball Stadium at Beckham Field, a year after spending the first five weeks on the road waiting for construction to finish. The Gamecocks went 3-1 in the Carolina Classic, posting three shutouts on the weekend. South Carolina last recorded three shutouts in its first four games in The team had two shutouts in its first four games from Freshman Kaylea Snaer hit two homers in her first weekend in the Garnet and Black, while rookie Nickie Blue went 3-0, pitching in all four games. Sarah Mooney and Taylor Williams also had home runs in their first weekend as Gamecocks. Over 1,000 fans paid to see the weekend s action, the largest paid crowds for regular-season softball at South Carolina in history. Info on the (No Longer) New Gamecocks With nine new student-athletes in 2014, South Carolina retooled after losing seven players, four to graduation and three to transfers. Three of the eight freshmen in 2014 were honored by MaxPreps.com on their High School All- America teams, including two on its small school listings. Kaylea Snaer earned second-team accolades in the country, while, on the small school lists were Taylor Williams (first team) and Victoria Williams (second team). The Williams and Snaer join Alaynie Page as Gamecocks who earned those honors. Page made the Junior All-America list earlier at Boiling Springs High School. The eight freshmen represented different states: California (Snaer), Colorado (Nickie Blue), Georgia (Effie Manahan), Illinois (Kate Shereyk), North Carolina (Macey Webb), South Carolina (V. Williams), Texas (T. Williams), and Virginia (Mackenzie Moler). Nickie Blue is the first Gamecock to be listed over 6-0 since Melanie Henkes (6-3) in The lone transfer this year, Sarah Mooney, earned 2013 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year accolades. Leading the Dukes in eight offensive categories, Mooney won the CAA triple crown and set new program records with 17 homers and 67 RBI in 59 games. Mooney moves closer to home in two aspects, hailing from the greater Charlotte area and also likely to serve as the Gamecocks starting catcher. Roster Notes South Carolina returned six position starters from the 2013 team, including at second base (Dana Hathorn), in left (Alaynie Page) and in right field (Chelsea Hawkins). All 59 starts in center field and at designated player return as well as the majority of starts at first and third bases. In the loss of Samie Garcia, the Gamecocks lost their leader in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, triples, total bases, slugging percentage, sacrifice hits and stolen bases and the only person who started at shortstop. The greatest losses came in triples (7 of 10) and sacrifice hits (9 of 19). In the rest of the offensive categories, the Gamecocks brought back from 70.7 percent (doubles) to 80 percent (home runs) of their production from 2013, a season where the Gamecocks set six team offensive records. Back in the 2013 were team leaders in on-base percentage (Dana Hathorn,.463), home runs (Chelsea Hawkins, 8), walks (Alaynie Page, 26) and hit by pitches (Dana Hathorn, 25). In the circle, the team lost almost 60 percent of the innings and strikeouts from a year ago but returned team ERA, IP, K and win leader Julie Sarratt. Nine newcomers joined the roster, including eight freshmen and Sarah Mooney, who earned 2013 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year honors at James Madison. The team was dominated by South Carolina natives, with 36.4 percent of the roster (eight players) hailing from the Palmetto State. Georgia was second with three players. The Gamecocks hailed from 10 states this year, adding players from North Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, California, Texas and Virginia. 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). Final Page 9

It now takes two homers for Alaynie Page or three more for Kaylea Snaer to join the top 20 in Gamecock history, joining five others with 11. 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. Kristen Struett s next sac fly joins her with five others in 11th. One appearance gives Julie Sarratt seventh alone in Gamecock history. With 12 innings, Sarratt will pass Jana Zimmerman ( ) into 13th place on the career lists. Sarratt also needs one more complete game to tie for 15th with Cindy Long ( ) with 25. Sarratt is 10 strikeouts from matching Melanie Henkes ( ) in 11th place. Three more relief appearances for Sarratt would bring her even with Kate Pouliot ( ) in fifth. Either Sarratt s or Nickie Blue s next save gives one third alone at South Carolina. Two more putouts for Page ties her with McMillin for seventh on the outfield putouts list. Three more outfield assists for Struett knots her in sixth with her former teammate Chelsea Hawkins.
