The big game from the South Carolina right fielder helped the Gamecocks take the victory, 9-7, over the TCU Horned Frogs.

Devin Lepp hit a solo-shot off Nate Rivas in the 2nd, walked in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Hector Hernandez in the 5th, struck out in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off John Tipton in the 9th and hit a two-run double in the 10th.
