Urquhart is also the only Gamecock player to ever hit for the cycle (a single, double, triple and homerun in one game), accomplishing the feat against George Mason as a freshman. Often unheralded by the media, Urquhart says he likes it that way. "I've been fortunate," he said. "Mike [Curry] was a freshman AllAmerica two years ago, and he's the fastest player in the SEC.

I just try to do my job, what I need to do to win. I'm not a flashy power hitter; I just try to put the ball in play." While it may not be flashy, Der ick's determined brand of baseball has been a key ingredient in catapulting the South Carolina program to the top of the SEC.
