COLUMBIA, S.C. — With the threat of inclement weather, the first game of the South Carolina-Texas series will not be played until Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
The Gamecocks and Longhorns will play a doubleheader on Sunday starting at 1:30 p.m. The first game will be seven innings, while game two on Sunday will start 45 minutes after the completion of game one and it will be a nine-inning contest.
The schedule for Friday had already been adjusted with the start of game one moved from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. due to a threat of inclement weather but with that threat now extended to the afternoon, the decision was made to start the series on Saturday when the weather will be more favorable.
Will Sanders is set to start game one on Saturday but with the pitching staff banged up, the starters for Sunday's two games are to be determined.
South Carolina (7-5) comes in with a four-game losing streak after having been swept by Clemson before losing at home to Xavier on Tuesday. The top-ranked Longhorns are 12-2 with their most recent game a 6-4 loss to Texas State.
