South Carolina 2, Mississippi 0

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) Aaron Rawl threw a three-hitter and South Carolina kept Mississippi in third place in the SEC West, defeating the Rebels 2-0 on Friday night.<br> <br> Rawl struck out six and walked none in the complete-game shutout for the Gamecocks (34-17, 13-12 Southeastern Conference), who entered the weekend 3.5 games behind East Division leader Tennessee.<br> <br> Ole Miss (35-16, 13-12) started the day one game behind West co-leaders Alabama and LSU, but couldn&#39;t keep pace despite losing pitcher Mark Holliman&#39;s 13 strikeouts.<br> <br> The Gamecocks did all their damage in the second inning. Chris Brown&#39;s RBI double off Holliman scored Brendan Winn, and Niel Giesler followed that with a run-scoring single which scored Brown.<br> <br> From there, it was all Rawl. The senior right-hander allowed just two Ole Miss baserunners to reach second in improving to 8-5.<br> <br> Holliman allowed five hits but fell to 5-3. Justin Henry had two of the Rebels&#39; hits.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
