USC baseball shifts George Washington series to include doubleheader Saturday
South Carolina’s weekend baseball series against George Washington is taking on new schedule with a heightened chance of rainy weather in the area Sunday.
The teams will begin their three-game series as planned at 4 p.m. Friday and then shift to a doubleheader Saturday that starts at noon at Founders Park. Both games Saturday will be nine innings. The second game will likely start around 4 p.m. but is dependent on the result of the day’s first game.
There’s a 70% chance of rain Sunday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday’s forecast is for mostly cloudy skies with a high temperature of 61 — or about 20 degrees cooler than Friday’s first pitch weather.
All three games this weekend will stream on SEC Network Plus. The Gamecocks will turn to junior college transfer James Hicks on the mound in Game 1, making a Saturday start for the second straight weekend behind ace Will Sanders. The Gamecocks did not announce a Game 3 starter, and that selection will likely depend on who pitches in the first game.
