South Carolina’s Jordan Montgomery pitched a four-hit shutout Sunday as the Gamecocks whipped North Carolina 8-0 in the NCAA super regional to force a Game 3 set for 7 p.m. Monday at Boshamer Stadium in Chapel Hill. The game is being televised on ESPN2.

The winner goes to the College World Series in Omaha to play the winner of the NC State-Rice super regional.

The Gamecocks (43-19) scored five runs in the second inning with Joey Pankake driving in two of the runs.

The Tar Heels (56-10) won Saturday’s opener before falling on Sunday. UNC, the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tourney, has been to the College World Series five of the last seven years but the 8-0 loss was its worst defeat of the season.

Landon Lassiter, a freshman, led the Tar Heels with a pair of hits. He said he doesn’t think the shutout shifts the momentum to the Gamecocks. “No, I don’t think so,” Lassiter said. “That’s why you play three [games]. We’ll come out tomorrow and be ready to play. I mean, we haven’t lost two in a row all year. We have a great group of guys, and I’m looking forward to it.”
