South Carolina\u2019s best chance for a run came in the third. Quincee Lilio reached on an error and Shelton followed with an infield single. Tori Ensley delivered a single to right, but Lilio was out at home trying to score from second.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Longhorns broke the scoreless game in the sixth with two outs after a Carolina error and a double.
