South Carolina baseball has set its pitching rotation for this weekend’s SEC series with Auburn, and it’s the third look for the Gamecocks in three weeks.

Junior Wil Crowe (3-0, 2.75 ERA) will get his first Friday night start of the season. Clark Schmidt (3-0, 1.12), also a junior, moves to Saturday.

The shuffling began when Schmidt, who had anchored Friday nights, missed the Tennessee series with an oblique strain. Sophomore Adam Hill moved from Sunday and started consecutive Fridays.

Schmidt re-entered the mix last weekend with a Sunday start against Alabama. Now Hill is back to Sunday.
