Assuming Acol you do not need to stretch to raise to 3S. In Acol a simple raise will always have some extra distribution or have 15(16) Balanced. With less and balanced you would have opened 1NT.
Even if not Acol 13 points and 5422 shape is not enough for an upgrade.
Can't see why South just doesn't bid 2S.
