2001 - The Gamecock baseball opened the 2001 SEC season by blowing out Arkansas 16-5 at home. USC actually trailed 5-2 after five innings but exploded for 12 runs in the sixth inning, highlighted by a grand slam from Tripp Kelly. Carolina sent 17 batters to the plate that inning. The big inning salvaged a rare shaky outing from All-American Kip Bouknight, who gave up five runs in 3 2/3 innings. Reliever Tony Adler gave up only one hit in four and a third and got the win for the Gamecocks. Bryon Jeffcoat added his seventh homer of the year in the eighth inning. The win improved USC's record to 14-2 overall.
