bury has the same average, bul
he has played in only seven games
and gone to bat only 14 times.
However, Parone's climb wasn'i
the best hitting performance ol
the week. Johnny Sykes, class5
shortstop, went on a rampaget and
pulled in six hits for nine times
at bat. He picked up 98 points
from .212 to .310 to place fourti
in Carolina hitting. Sykes drove
in five runs with his double, tri

Carolina's baseball team los

Camp, Sherer, and Charlie L(
Furman in the opener behin(
Camp, who also struck out 11
Saturday against Furman, Bo
Hagan toed. the slab and pro
ceeded to hold Furman hitless for
four innings, but blew up in the
fifth to allow four runs off two
hits and a walk. Then Charlie Long
came in to allow the Greenvillers
only one hit and no runs in three
and two-thirds innings. Carolina
got ten hits to Furman's three,
but lost anyhow 4-3. A triple-play
just, about took the heart out of
the Gamecocks.
Tuesday Carolina traveled to
Clinton to play P-C. Frank Sherer
pitched the best game of the year,
setting the .Hosemen down on two
hits, but he bumped up against
another hot hurler, Billy Draugh
ton, who illowed the Birds only
three bingles. A triple in the sixth
by Draughton and an error by
Sherer gave P-C its lone run and
the only one of the game. Their
hits came in the fifth and sixth
innings.
These games do not show the
true progress of Coach Ted Petos
key's 1948 squad, however. The
team has failed to come through in
the clutch time after time, and
although they are leading their
opponents in hitting by 49 points,
they are not making their hits
count. Poor baserunning and a
general not-too-wide--awake ap
pearance has hindered Petoskey's
progress, but through it all he's
hoping that the experience his
men are getting will pay off in
future years.
The new coach realizes that
most of his charges are freshmen
or sophomores and will be back
for another year or two. He's. out
to give them all the experience
possible.
Just as the individual records
fall to exemplify the players'
progress. neither does the five
won, seven-lost record show the
team's ability. Several of the
games were figuratively thrown
away to the opponents by dumb
plays.
The baseball mentor still offers
no excuse for his team's apparent
weak showing against Furman or
P-C. He has had the squad work
ing out harder than ever and is
trying desperately to correct the
flawls by working with several of
the men individually. If work is
to remledy the sad showings of
late, Bird supporters can look for
a change in the standings. The
state title may be further awvay
