The losing energy only lasted so long for South Carolina baseball.

After falling to LSU on Thursday night 11-10, the Gamecocks (36-22) got back to their winning ways on Friday with a 6-5 win over No. 3 seed Kentucky. South Carolina is now in the SEC Tournament semifinals at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium on Saturday (1 p.m., SEC Network).

Saturday's game is a rematch of the clash between the No. 11 seed Tigers (39-20) and No. 10 seed Gamecocks from Thursday night.

On Friday freshman pitcher Parker Marlatt held Kentucky to one run on two hits, striking out six without issuing a walk in the 3⅔ innings he pitched. Matthew Becker came in during the eighth inning and the Gamecocks held onto their one-point lead in the ninth inning, eliminating the Wildcats (40-14) from the tournament.

The last time South Carolina was in the SEC tournament semifinals was in 2017, when LSU beat South Carolina 11-0. The Gamecocks only tournament championship was in 2004.
