Bob Spear's Sarge Frye Memories

This is part of a seasonlong series commemorating the USC baseball team’s final season at Sarge Frye Field.

April 9, 2000

After two heart-stopping wins to start the series, second-ranked South Carolina went one better in a 7-6 victory that completed a sweep of Mississippi State.

Down by one run with none on and two out in the bottom of the 10th, Brennan Dees walked, Brandon Pack ended a 6-for-36 slump with a game-tying double off the first-base bag, and Marcos Rios flared an 0-2 pitch to right field to bring home the decisive run.

“I was just trying not to strike out,” Rios said.

“You have to have a little luck, but you have to position yourself for that,” USC coach Ray Tanner said.
