Lancers Earn Second Place Finish in the Region X Baseball Tournament

The USC-Lancaster Baseball Team made history this spring as they finished second in the Region X Baseball Tournament. The Lancers went into the tournament as the eighth seed and battled their way through the brackets to finish second. The guys played Spartanburg Methodist College in the first round and lost six to five in the bottom of the eleventh. This game was clearly a pitchers' duel as Lancer ace Dylan Parker hurled nine innings and struck out seven Pioneer batters. After this heart breaking loss the Lancers put together a winning streak of four games as they beat USC-Salkehatchie, USC-Sumter, Louisburg College, and Florence-Darlington Tech. After these four wins they faced Spartanburg Methodist again. The Lancers played hard, but came up short eight to four. Even though the Lancers lost, they were rewarded with a spot in the Eastern District Championship that was held in Keyser, West Virginia. Congratulations to the Lancer Baseball Team! Read more.
