Gamecocks still in projected NCAA Baseball Tournament field

South Carolina’s baseball team has been on a bad streak for more than a month, losing five consecutive SEC series.

But it hasn’t knocked the Gamecocks out of projected NCAA Tournament fields.

Both Baseball America and D1Baseball still have South Carolina in the field despite a 25-17 record and 10-11 record in conference. The Gamecocks face Wofford on Wednesday night before a weekend series at LSU.

Baseball America puts USC as a No. 3 seed in the Wake Forest Regional with Maryland and SUNY Binghamton. D1Baseball slots the Gamecocks as a 2 seed in Winston-Salem, opening against UCF.

The Gamecocks’ RPI is No. 31. After LSU, they’ll have series with Georgia and Missouri teams that are low in the SEC standings.
