Even after Stanford's 11-1 victory at Sunken Diamond, the South Carolina coach had no regrets.

He said he felt good. From the first batter, it was clear Bouknight didn't have his best stuff. He hung a breaking pitch to leadoff hitter Chris O'Riordan and center fielder Marcus McBeth had to run it down at the wall in center field, approximately 390 feet from home plate. Two batters later, Ryan Garko didn't give McBeth a chance. The Stanford catcher launched a homer into the trees behind the center field fence for a 1-0 lead.
