Sports Editor Nearly 10,000 fans turned out at the Spring Sports Center Saturday and Sunday to witness complete turn-abouts as Carolina and Clemson battled to 10-2 and 10-6 scores in baseball action, with the Tigers taking the first game and the Gamecocks winning the second. Both teams combined for nine home runs in the two game series that sent the overflow crowd hf?hinrl thp nntfiplH fpnpp Hnrlrina for cover. The Tigers took command of Saturday's game as Clemson rocked three USC pitchers for 15 hits and 10 runs. Tiger shortstop Robert Bonnette had two homers and three RBI's to lead the Clemson offensive attack. But Sunday was a different story.

Qemsoi June Raines. "Last night (pitcher Brian) Snyder slammed the door in our tace. i was very pleased with our hitting, especially our lefthanded hitting." Raines had a right to be proud of his lefty batters as first baseman Wes Westbrook sent two fastballs ; to the railroad tracks behind the right field wall. "This was my biggest game so far," said i Westbrook. Our first baseman got hurt last night, so I played today. I usually start when they throw a right hander." Another left hander, designated hitter Eddie Adams, stepped up to the plate in the eighth inning, stepped out to get another bat, and , then walked back up to the plate to send Clemson relief pitcher Paul Schmitt's first pitch over the right , field fence. Carolina opened Sunday's game , with two runs in the first as Gamecock lead-off man Tom Williams singled and then later . scored on a fielder's choice by Westbrook. Westbrook then crossed home moments later as Chuck McLean strolked a double to left. The Gamecocks added three more runs in the bottom of the third as Greg Johnson punched a ground rule double to center and later scored on a John Marquardt single. That EBI raised Marquardt's season total to 39. Marquardt was then driven in by Westbrook's first homer. With the score 6-0 in the top of the sixth, the Tigers touched Carolina starting pitcher Aaron Scott for their first hit of the game. Designated hitter David Buffamoyer singled to left and then scored as catcher Bill Schroeder lofted a high, lazy fly to left that cleared the fence by inches. The sixth inning turned out to be rather bizarre as the Tigers were forced into a fielder's choice with a ^HraHHi |K' ~-:<p'^'.' < ' ' '"* v<*""' I :i spui fly ball to the outfield. Buffamoyer, with two men on base, sent a Texas-leaguer to left field that dropped between Williams and Hollins. Both runners were forced to play cautious as they feared Hollins would come up with the catch. The ball, however, bounced in front of Hollins, and he fired to Marquardt at third to cut down the lead runner. Clemson threatened in the eighth as Rogers was relieved by Hal uaaiema after giving up a walk and a base hit to the middle of the Tiger line-up. Schroeder, the first batter faced by Gaalema, sent a fastball over the wall for his second homerun to bring the score to 9-6. Adams, however, killed any hopes of a Tiger comeback with his homerun in the bottom of the eighth. Hitting highlighted both games as 11 pitchers were used by both teams. Just as Gamecock pitchers were plagued in Saturday night's game, Clemson hurlers used three pnvuvio in uiv. uuiiuajf anciiiuuil game that were socked for 12 hits, five of them for extra bases.. "We didn't come prepared to play today (Sunday). Quite likely we lost the game after we left the field last night," said Clemson head coach Bill Wilhelm. "It's hard for one to see how we couldn't come prepared to play against South Carolina. But it damned well did." The series split brought Carolina's record to 17-6, Clemson's to 20-6. Saturday's winning pitcher was Brian Snyder as Jeff Twitty absorbed the loss to drop his record to 3-3. Clemson's Mike Brown lost his first game of the year Sunday against six wins as Scott picked up his fourth win. "Pitching is going to be the big iacior. it we can get Hutch (injured pitcher Hal Hutchens) back, we will have some depth," Raines said. ?-??? ick meet Lit* Smarr-THE GAMECOCK ^
