Paul Mainieri updates injury situations for Ethan Petry, Nathan Hall

When it rains, it pours in and there is currently a monsoon on the start -up park.

In addition to a brutal season for South Carolina Baseball with a record of 5 to 16 in the second game, the GameCocks now have simultaneous injuries for their two most effective rackets. Real field player Ethan Petry and midfielder Nathan Hall Both missed the 5: 3 victory in South Carolina against Charleston Southern with 5: 3 victory a week, so that the game cocks with at least five homes or 25 RBIs were missing a single player in their position in the season.

Petry's injury is the serious one, and it could be a bitter end to his college career after leaving the series's first game in Kentucky last Saturday and has not played since then.

“He has what you call in the left shoulder as a tension of the alternating stream,” head coach Paul Mainieri said. “It was such a freak injury. If you watched the video of it, the ball took a fun jump and it was a bit ready to play it. And when it took a fun jump, he accelerated the ball and rammed his left shoulder into the wall.

“But this injury is probably 2-4 weeks to heal. So there is a good chance that it will be finished for the year. But maybe he can come back for the last series or the SEC tournament.”

Petry is second in South Carolinas Homerun list after three outstanding seasons and has another year of justification, but will almost almost certainly enter the MLB design as a projected selection in the MLB.

South Carolina will start the last series of the regular season and the SEC tournament in 21 days, both technically from the optimistic side of the timeline, which Mainieri created, but would also require a quick recovery.

Hall's injury has refused since he banged a Homerun in Texas A&M in the outer field wall three weeks ago, but on weekends it got worse to play on Kentucky's artificial lawn.

There is no sand base and I was worried that his heel knocks on this hard floor all weekend, “said Mainieri. We practiced on Monday and he couldn't take part.”

However, Mainieri offered a glimmer of hope. Hall still does the impact training and was even available as a pinch of Hitter on Tuesday evening, although his status for the weekend series will remain unclear against Florida from Friday.

“We have to see how he feels in the next few days,” concluded Mainieri. “Hopefully he will rest with a few days that he will feel better and play better by Friday.”

The series begins on Friday at 7 p.m. ET with live reporting on SecN+.
