South Carolina walks off Missouri again, sweeps series
By: Collyn Taylor
The ball lingered in the South Carolina air for what felt like an eternity Saturday night at Founders Park.
The ball, off the end of Ty Wilmsmeyer’s bat, floated towards Ethan Petry in right field, each millisecond closer to getting Matthew Becker out of the jam.

“Pretty special. You get thrown into a tough situation and that happens. I mean, coach (Justin) Parker tells us as a staff we have to go out there prepared to do what you have to do,” Becker said. What I had to do right there is exactly that. I’m glad I had everyone behind me to make that happen.”
Becker came into a tie game in the tenth inning, minutes after Ethan Petry homered to tie things up. But Becker faced a much different situation with runners on the corners and no outs.
