If anybody saw Allie Barker hit in high school, you had the feeling that it was only a matter of time before her bat went wild in college.
This weekend it did, in a big way.
Barker, a 5-foot-8-inch native of Alexandria, hit .308 with a pair of homers, 6 RBI and two runs scored in helping guide the Gamecocks (2-2) to a pair of splits at the Hampton Inn Bama Bash in Tuscaloosa.
The junior hit the first grand slam of her career in the season opener against Purdue. So added a solo homer later in the weekend.
Barker and the Gamecocks will make their home debut on Tuesday, when they host UAB in a doubleheader at 4 p.m. at University Field. Admission is free for all fans.
