Updated: Poll Question of the Week, presented by Larry Lucas State Farm Insurance in Columbia (803-799-1998) and Lexington (803-359-0770): What grade do you give the Kevin Schnall hire at USC?
— SportsTalk Media Network (@SCSportsNow) June 9, 2026
The South Carolina board of trustees will meet via conference call at 4:00 this afternoon to approve the contract for new baseball coach Kevin Schnall. News broke Tuesday morning that Schnall would be hired after two years as the head coach at Coastal Carolina, where he was also a player and an assistant coach.
Also, Chant’s pitching coach, Matt Williams, who was with the Gamecocks in 2025, is expected to join Schnall in Columbia.
Braden Montgomery hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning of his major league debut to rally the White Sox past the Braves 6-5 on Tuesday night. Miguel Vargas launched a two-run shot in the third to begin Chicago’s comeback from a 4-0 deficit. Montgomery made it 4-3 with an RBI single in the fourth, and Jacob Gonzalez tied it with a run-scoring single in the seventh.
Jon Rothstein reported that South Carolina will meet Maryland in men’s college basketball on December 19th in Baltimore.
