BY PETE FEHELEY
Sports Editor
The Gamecocks rode the home
run power of Hank Small and Steve
King and the pitching of Earl Bass
to a 5-2 win over North Carolina on
Saturday at the Rex Enright Field.
The victory, Carolina's 16th in a
row and 29th.of the year against
two defeats, bore an amazing
similarity to the Gamecock victory
at Chapel Hill on April 3.
Once again, Small came to the
plate with two men on base and his
team trailing by two runs. And, as
he did at North Carolina, Small
crashed a three-run homer to give
USC the lead, this time at 3-2. King
repeated his part of the act with a
solo shot to left to make it 4-2. Just
as he did at Chapel Hill, Bass shut
off the Tar Hell hitters once his
team gained the lead.
The Gamecocks scored their
final run in the eighth on Jim
Pankovit's single up the middle.
Pankovits also made several
outstanding defensive plays at
third base.
Bass, 8-0, allowed only four hits
and walked no Tar Heel batsmen.
His only trouble came in the second
inning when he surrendered a two
run homer to the Tar Heel's Mike
Wilkerson.
The Gamecock express was
almost derailed by a scrappy nine

Women's tennis
Carolina's women's tennis team
came up with their sixth shut-out of
the season as they beat Francis
Marion College at Florence.
Carolina swept the singles and
doubles matches without losing a
set. The number one player, Sue
Stoll, was back into the singles
action after a sprained ankle had
benched her. Stoll defeated Francis
Marion's top player, Sue Sims, 6-2,
6-2. Number two seed, Sue Smith,
with a 9-2 record downed Maria
Costas 6-3, 6-3. Susan Tinsley, the
number three player, beat Claire
Holland 6-4, 6-1.
The remaining singles matches
were also easy wins. Mary
Moorman won 7-5, 6-1, Peggy
Fowler won 6-0, 6-3, and Ann Pasky
won 6-1, 6-1.
The number one doubles team of
Smith and Stoll downed Sims and
Costas 6-2, 6-2. Tinsley and Pasky
playing number two doubles beat
Holland and Jeffers 7-5, 6-3.
Moorman and Fowler, number
three doubles, dominated Moody
and Hubberd 6-0, 6-1.
Coach Porter said, "The team is
playing extremely well in match
play which contributes to such
overwhelming wins. Our record is
now 9-2."
Women's softball
Carolina's women's softball
team defeated Coker College 14-8.
Pitcher Karen Pappas was
credited with the win. Pappas
played an excellent defensive
game and hammered a home run
for the Chick's.
Carolina started out slowly in the
first three innings. Coker had the
Chick's down 4-2. and was on top
defensively. The Chick's came
alive in the fun-th inninga nds

from St. Leo's of Florida. On
Tuesday, it took a two-out, 11th
inning home run by Steve Cook to
get Carolina past St. Leo's, 2-1.
USC managed only four hits off
John Chomin, the St. Leo starter
who received excellent defensive
support from his teammates in the
field. Carolina's Greg Ward, 8-1,
also pitched a strong game as he
gave up only five hits while
striking out ten batters.
Carolina completed the sweep of
the St. Leo series with a 6-3 victory
on Thursday afternoon.
Starter Tim Lewis, 7-0, got the
win as he pitched seven strong
innings in which he allowed only
three hits. The bullpen per
formance was shaky as Jamie
Chakales ran into some control
problems in the ninth, issuing three
Lavigne out
Gamecock pitcher Raymond
Lavigne, who is enjoying an
outstanding season with a
record of 6-0, will miss his next
few pitching turns with what Is
believed to be mononucleosis.
Coach Bobby Richardson hopes
that Lavigne will be ready in
two to three weeks. Either Mike
Cromer or freshman Chuck
McLean is expected to take
Lavigne's spot in the starting
rotation.

Tommy Luckstone came in to nail
down the victory for USC as he
retired the last St. Leo's hitter on
an easy fly to right with the bases
loaded.
Again the Gamecock bats were
silent as USC managed only seven
hits off starter Robert Argypoulos,
whose four wild pitches, three
walks and fielding error provided a
good deal of help for the Carolina
offense.

rained out and will be played as
part of a day-night doubleheader

Wofford in the afternoon and then
