OMAHA, NEBRASKA - Yaron Peters hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth and South Carolina eliminated Nebraska from the College World Series with a 10-8 win Sunday. <br>
<br>
The Gamecocks (54-17) rallied from a 4-0 deficit for its first CWS win in three appearances. South Carolina, which had just six hits while being shut out by Georgia Tech in the opening round, had 15 hits off six Nebraska pitchers. <br>
<br>
The teams combined for 26 hits and used 11 pitchers in the game, which lasted nearly four hours and went back-and-forth until the final inning. <br>
<br>
John Wesley (2-0) got the win when Brandon Eymann flew out to the warning track in right. <br>
<br>
Daniel Bruce, Jeff Blevins and Jed Morris each homered for Nebraska (47-21), which went 0-2 in the CWS for the second straight year. <br>
<br>
Jeremy Becker (2-2), Nebraska's sixth pitcher, took the loss. He walked Drew Meyer with one out in the ninth, struck out Justin Harris before Peters hit his 29th homer of the season. <br>
<br>
The shot to right-center stunned the Omaha crowd, which had just come back to life after Morris' homer into the top half of the right-field bleachers tied it at 8-all in the eighth. <br>
<br>
Harris gave South Carolina a brief lead in the eighth when he scored on an error, then Morris tied it in the bottom of the inning with his 23rd homer. <br>
<br>
The Gamecocks trailed 4-0 until the fourth when they scored five runs on six-straight hits and an error. Landon Powell, who drove in the third run with a single, scored the go-ahead run when shortstop Joe Simokaitis bobbled a grounder from Yaron Peters with two outs. <br>
<br>
Simokaitis atoned for the mistake in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI double that started a three-run rally that put Nebraska up 7-5, but South Carolina tied it in the sixth at 7-all on Steve Thomas' bases-loaded single. <br>
<br>
Bruce hit a two-run homer in the fourth and Blevins followed two batters later with a solo shot that put Nebraska up 4-0.
