Game 49 - Air Force at Jacksonville State

March 27 at Rudy Abbott Field in Jacksonville, AL

The Gamecocks are hoping to repeat as Ohio Valley Conference champions and if Zachary Fowler continues to perform like he did on Friday, they've got a great chance.

The senior tossed seven innings of two-hit ball and struck out a career-high eight in Jacksonville State's 6-0 victory. It was the Gamecocks' sixth straight win, thanks in large part to Fowler, who used a nasty breaking ball to get a majority of his strike outs, and two big innings at the plate. Jacksonville State hit three consecutive doubles in the second - Elliot McCummings and No. 8 hitter Hayden White drove in runs with theirs, then batted around in a three-run fourth (Paul Angel had a his second double in as many at bats to knock home one of the three runs).
















In the first-ever meeting between the teams, Air Force's offense continued to scuffle as the Falcons have scored just eight runs during a five-game losing skid.
