The Gamecocks (48-14) will advance to the NCAA Super Regional for the second consecutive year and will face the winner of Monday night’s game between Clemson and Connecticut, which is taking place at Clemson. Stetson (43-20) sees its season come to a close after battling through four tough games in the Columbia Regional.
