South Carolina wins the series if...

Their pitching can slow down the Texas offense, otherwise, it could get ugly. The Gamecocks sport a team ERA of 5.05, a large number compared to Texas' team ERA of 1.79. South Carolina pitching has struggled at times over the season, but they could give the Longhorns a real battle over the series if they can keep Texas off the board. 

Texas wins the series if...

Their bats continue to click and put up runs in clutch spots. The Longhorn offense has started off hot in 2022, putting up five or more runs in 10 out of the 14 games they've played this season. Ivan Melendez has led the way for the Texas offense, as he leads the Longhorns in both home runs and RBI with four and 20, respectively. Elsewhere in the lineup, Trey Faltine and Silas Ardoin have helped Melendez carry the offense as the two have combined for four home runs and 23 RBI. If the Longhorns stay hot on offense they should have no problem taking advantage of South Carolina's pitching woes.
