Although a late season batting slump complicated by a rash of injuries to key personnel kept Carolina from qualifying for a National Collegiate Athletic Um Association baseball playoff bid, the Gamecocks finished with a respectable 32-15 record and set a number of new school records. The biggest assault on the record books came from relief pitcher Jeff "Bird" Twitty, who was the over f|p wneiming cnoice of His teammates as most valuable Bp player on the 1976 Gamecock squad. The senior leftPP5 hander from Columbia established school marks for most game appearances by a pitcher, 28; saves, 10; Ijjl and lowest earned run average, 0.76. He allowed only j3| four earned runs in 47% innings and compiled a 6-2 record. Twitty was also named the Gamecock player of the I f year earlier in the season. Outfielder Wes Westbrook established a record when he batted in nine runs against Georgia Southern ^11 April 7, erasing the mark of eicht set earlier in thp i. season by outfielder Mark Boatwright against tgjK Georgia Tech. However, Boatwright's 12 total bases (2 home runs and 2 doubles) against the Yellow |Bf Jackets on March 28, replaces 11 total bases compiled fclS by Steve King against Appalachian State in 1976.

Boatwright tied a mark Ipll when he was twice hit by a pitch against North Ipl Carolina April 11. Outfielder Paul Hollins coaxed 38 bases on balls *j?H from opposing pitchers in 44 games, two more than jjvl the 36 walks drawn by Greg Keatly in 1976. It took four decimal places to determine that Greg 3P Jonson had broken Jeff Grantz's 1976 fielding record for shortstops. Jonson made only eight errors in 279 lliii chances for a .9713 nercentagp Grant? maHp fntir Illl errors in 136 chances at the position in 1976 for a .9705 IiIP percentage. As a team, the Gamecocks' .968 fielding percentage lili was the second best ever, surpassed only by .975 by llll the 1975 team. That mark was the nation's second ;ock best that year. The 637 assists turned in by Gamecock felv fiel(*ers *n 47 games topped by 27 the mark of 610 set by the 1977 team in 56 ga mes. >es. lea Second baseman Etienne Farquharson, who missed the final six games of the season with a lee ' injury, led the team in batting with a .331 average, in stolen bases with 36, hits with 57 and runs scored with I III Al I VjpM irtr | SHC I 2018 Green S I Open 7 do I i Buu onp n I a ; ?c .

A junior from Nassau, Bahamas, he is expected to be back for his senior year. Knee and back injuries hampered John Marquardt throughout his senior year, but he still managed a .301 batting average and led the squad in home runs with 10 and runs batted in with 38. In 1978, when he was named to the Coaches' All-American team, the Alamogordo, N.M., native hit .381 with 16 homers and 61 RBI. Marquardt's career .669 slugging percentage bettered the .626 record established by former AilAmerican first baseman Hank Small. More man 71,000 fans turned out for 33 home games in USC's recently enlarged baseball stadium during the season. Official figures from the Carolina ticket office place attendance at an average of 2155 a game. The enlarged stands, completed after the season began, can accommodate 4,000 fans on aluminum seats. The largest home crowd was an overflow 5,000 that turned out despite cold weather for the second Clemson game March 25. The smallest ? one of only live games to attract fewer than 1,000 spectators ? was 500 for the second home game of the season, March 1 against UNC-Wilmington. The four game season-ending series with MiamiFlorida attracted 13,500 fans. The largest crowd to see the Gamecocks play, however, came on the road. An estimated 6,000 turned out for the April 14 game at Clemson. The 4,500 that came out the following day, Easter Sunday, helped boost road attendance to 16,152, an average of 1,154 for 14 road dates. USC baseball coach June Raines announced thp signing of two players from Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Fla.
