Scott Wingo completed a 4-for-4 night at the plate with a walk-off hit to propel the Gamecocks to a 5-4 win.
(AP) -- OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Scott Wingo drilled a bases-loaded single off the right-field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning to give defending national champion South Carolina a 5-4 victory over Texas A&M at the College World Series on Sunday night.
South Carolina (51-14) advanced to a Bracket 2 winners' game against Virginia at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. The Aggies (47-21) play California in an elimination game that afternoon. Wingo's winning hit against Nick Fleece capped his career-best four-hit night, and he reached base five times.
Robert Beary doubled off the right-field fence to start the inning against Kyle Martin (2-3). Beary went to third when 2010 CWS Most Outstanding Player Jackie Bradley Jr., playing in his first game in two months, sliced a liner into left off Fleece. Evan Marzilli walked to load the bases.
Michael Roth, John Taylor out of Wilson High in Florence, and Matt Price (6-3) combined to hold the Aggies hitless in the last five innings.
