USC Hitters
.Are Reason ,
For Streak.
Carolina's baseball Gamecocks
remain idle during the examination
break before returning to action for
four consecutive games beginning
May 9, three of which will be home
affairs.
USC's season record currently
stands at 23-14, just two victories
less than last season's school record
25 wins (25-16).
The similarities between this sea
son's baseball squad and that of last
year are strong-both teams started
swiftly, stumbled to the break-even
mark around the mid-point of the
campaign, before finishing with an
impressive winning surge.
At one point last season, the 25-16
Carolina squad held merely an 11-11
standing. This year, the Gamecocks
stood just 12-11 after a 4-1 loss to
Stetson. But in similar fashion to
their performance of a year ago,
Carolina's squad has come on
strong, (seven in a row at one point)
to build an impressive mark.
Now USC's Gamecocks have the
Dpportunity to shatter the previous
record for baseball wins in a season,
needing just two wins in four games
to tie the mark.
The reason for the Gamecock
surge of late is obvious-the strong
pitching that has held up all season
for Carolina has now been joined by
some very good hitting, which was
previously absent.
The most marked improvement
)f a USC batter is that of Hank
3mall. The slugging first baseman
,vas hitting merely .211 13 games
1go, but by batting .415 over that
)eriod he has raised his average to
281. But Small's hot bat has not just
ided his average, it has also con
ributed significantly to the team's
vinning. Small has knocked five
omeruns and 13 RBI over the 13
ame stretch.
Freshman outfielder Steve King
as also been displaying some
nprossive hitting during the win
treak, raising his average from the
!40's where it hovered early this
ear to .286. King's 13 RBI are third
igh on the squad, following Small's
B and Bruce Pudlock's 17.
John Gambrell has kept his aver
ge over .300 all season long, with
now at .333. Gambrell has hit over
100 in both of his previous
amecock seasons.
