Jaliyah Holmes leads the Gamecocks pitching contingent with a 2.15 ERA. Sophomores
Sarah Currie and
Kat Carter round out JSU's deep rotation with the trio combining for 124 strikeouts through 25 games.
Along with efficient pitching, a strong offensive performance at the pkare helped guide the Gamecocks to a 3-0 sweep over North Alabama to open conference play a week ago. Jax State will look to continue that momentum led by junior
Lindsey Richardson, senior
Holly Stewart and freshman
Linley Tubbs. The hard-hitting trio have provided 11 of JSU's 16 home runs this season and have been a consistent weapons during the Gamecocks' current five-game winning streak.
