The Bruins got singles from Savannah Pola and Jordan Woolery followed by an international walk to Grant.

The Bruins nearly answered in their half of the inning when Savannah Pola drove a pitch from Grein 220 feet to the base of the center-field wall that was hauled in by Kedre Luschar to end the inning.

Second baseman Karley Shelton grounded out to her counterpart Pola with the bases loaded, but thought the inning was over after Pola fired home to cut down the lead runner.

South Carolina was one out away from its first trip to the Women’s College World Series since 1997, but Savannah Pola kept the game alive with an RBI single.

Woolery, who has hit 22 homers, leads the team with 82 RBIs, and her .423 batting average trails only Savannah Pola’s .437.
