Richardson suffered the loss after 0.2 innings of relief for Liberty. He allowed one run, unearned, on one hit with two walks and a strikeout.

South Carolina starter Colby Holmes allowed two runs on three hits in 6.1 innings of work.

Liberty starting pitcher Brooks Roy did not allow a run and limited the Gamecocks to one hit and three walks through five innings.
