According to Coach Bobby Richardson, depth and versatility will continue to help the team. "Eddie Ford reinjured his foot in Thursday's eame," said Richardson, "but our depth allowed us to fill right in. Larry Wojcicki came in to play second and Jeff Grantz moved to short. Jim Pankovits has also been a strong addition to our infield." Saturday the Gamecocks won their eighth straight game, defeating Richmond 2-0. Raymond Lavinge collected the win and Mike Cromer got the save. Carolina was outhit fiveto two, but scored twice: in the first and had another good defensive effort.
