The Wildhares are again the unanimous choice for the
number one position in the Gamecock Intramural Softball
Poll, but the rest of the poll shows the equality in the softball
competition with only seven points seperating the second
place team from the fifth place position.
South Building and The Strikers check in as the number
one teams in the Women's and Co-Rec polls respectively.
"I've never seen such balance in Intramural Softball
during my tour years nere," fete Dumiak, one of three Intramural
Supervisors for softball said. "Any team can win on
any given night. That's the best thing about softball this
year."
Nowhere is the balance more evident than in the fraternity
division, which has five teams with 3-1 records with one run
deciding most games.
THE WILD HARES are one team that has not been involved
in any one run games. One of last year's finalists, the
Wildhares have taken care of the PEM Club 14-6. beaten the
I Wade Hampton Hotel 12-5, trounced PSC 16-0 and also own a
forfeit victory.
The second-rated Bulls are no strangers to an undefeated
regular season record. The Bulls have gone 15-0-2 over the
past three years, including this season's five wins. The Bulls
started the season by beating the Enor Muscox 16-1. took a
I close one from Chi Psi II Tl-10, got by MBA 16-11, beat
Preston II11-2 and romped over Grad. History 12-3.
LA (Lancaster) moves up to sole possession of third place
on the strength of their 4-0 mark. LA had only one close
game, a 2-1 win over the Izod Alligator Poachers. LA has also
beaten the Hombres 19-8, trounced the Trolls 12-0 and romped
nvpr Siffma Nil If 17-9
Lambda Chi Alpha almost fell from the ranks of the unbeaten
Tuesday night as they sneaked by Phi Kappa Sigma
9-8 in the bottom of the last inning. Lambda Chi had an easier
timfe gaining their other four wins, a 11-0 romp over Phi Delta
Theta, a 9-6 decision over Phi Kappa Psi, an 11-5 win over
Sigma Chi and an 11-2 victory over previously unbeaten
Kappa Sigma.
THE BECENECY Boys also sport a 5-0 record, and had a
tough time in just one contest, a 6-5 squeaker over the
Bushleaguers. The Becenecy Boys have scored over 20 runs
twice tftis season, in a 27-12 romp over the Wolfs and a 22-4
trouncing of the previously undefeated Bootleggers. The BBoys'
other wins have come against the Waterbuffaloes 14-3
and the Med School 7-3.
The Schlitz Bulls appear in the poll for the first time this
vear. The Schlitz Bulls don't have an undefeated record, but
their one loss came as a result of a forfeit. The Schlitz Bulls
