OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Usually, Ray Tanner is cautioning his team about the perils of the big inning.
This time, the South Carolina coach was celebrating one.
Jackie Bradley and Adrian Morales homered during an eight-run second inning that propelled the Gamecocks to an 11-4 victory over No. 1 national seed Arizona State on Tuesday, knocking the Sun Devils out of the College World Series.
"That second inning for us -- eight runs -- and eight hits is the most we've had in one inning the entire season," Tanner said. "We don't score runs like that very often, but we had some big, big at-bats in that inning and gave us an opportunity to get some great runs."
The Gamecocks were able to give starter Sam Dyson a wide comfort zone and hold off an Arizona State team that left 10 runners on base and always seemed on the verge of breaking out.
