The South Carolina Gamecocks (cb360 #13) made the 80-mile drive to Florence, S.C., on Wednesday to help commemorate Francis Marion‘s new baseball facility, Cormell Field at Sparrow Stadium. The highly-anticipated game saw the Division II Patriots jump out to a 3-0 lead and then hold on for the 5-4 upset, with six other underdogs winning among the day’s 19 games involving top-50 teams in the CB360 Composite National Rankings.  front-page photo courtesy of Francis Marion

Francis Marion – currently ranked 20th in D-2 (27-13) – is coming off a 41-win season that tied the school record for victories in a season. The Patriots were ranked #9 in D-2 a year ago and have advanced to the Division II NCAA Championship in eight of the past 11 seasons.

On most other days, Florida Gulf Coast likely would have been the lead story – as FGCU upset a CB360 top-50 team for the third time in the past eight days: 4-2 at #8 Miami (after recent wins over FSU and FAU).
