But a quick whistle and con- I flicting calls by the officals forced a replay of the service, and FSU won the side-out. The Seminoles took the game and the match, winning 15-10, 4-15, 15-9, 8-15, 16-14. "It was a thriller," Mozingo said. "The match could have gone either way. It was really encouraging to play so well against Flordia State, who will probably be seeded No. 1 in the jfl Metro." It was the Lady Gamecock's second loss to the Seminoles, but only their first in the Metro Conference. USC is now 2-1 in the conference with victories over Southern Mississippi and Tulane Universities over the weekend. CAROLINA WILL not play FSU again until the Metro tournament in November, but Mozingo saidshe's alreadylooking for a rematch. "When we do meet again, I hope that the stats will be on our side, she saia. "usually wnen you piay a ream ciose iiKe we did against Florida State, you may beat them the next time. "I'm disappointed with the loss, especially with that crucial call. But disappointment is part of the game," she said. "I was encouraged with our performance, especially since we didn't play with a full team. Nancy (Bogedin, who has been sidelined with a broken finger) played for us and was only about 50 percent, but she did a good job passing the ball. "THE BEST thing we did against Florida State was the fact that we didn't give up, aftd^we fought to the finish," the coach said. "We're nlavine smarter l^all now. We still make mistakes, but we're cutting down on them in practice." % USC has a two-game homestand this week, taking on the University of North Carolina at Charlotte tomorrow, and the College of Charleston Wednesday. Both matches begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Blatt Physical Education Center. hj Mozingo said although her squad has a winning record, Carolina can't take its competition lightly. "We can't be overconfident going into these matches, because anything could happen," she said. "We'll just have to play our game and work hard. Everything we do now is to help i us get ready for the Metro." ! Orioles clinch series I PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? Business is booming at the f firm of Baltimore Orioles Inc. The field is baseball, and * they are the champions. Yesterday's 5-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, wrapping up Baltimore's third World Series championship, was a victory for an organization-oriented team that doesn't rely on one person, be the manager or player. It ushered in a new era as first-year manager Joe Altobelli completed his ascension to the throne vacated by Earl Weaver who had guided the team to its last series championship in 1970. AND IT was company men who did it. Men like Most Valuable Player Rick Dempsey, who homered and doubled and directed Baltimore's overwhelming pitching from his catcher's crouch. Men like Eddie Murray, who broke a miserable slump with two home runs in the deciding game yesterday, and Scott McGregor, whose five-hit shutout capped a masterful postseason pitching performance by the entire Orioles staff. "We proved what we've been saying all along," Murray said. "We have a ballclub that isn't made up of just two ballplayers." McGREGOR, WHO led a staff that gave up just 10 earned runs and compiled a 1. i 1 earned run average in nine postseason games, echoed the company line. "We proved that you have to have 25 guys to win a championship," McGregor said. "You can't do it with just one or two stars." Dempsey, who set a record for a five-game series with five extra-base hits, four doubles and a homer, was the leader at the heart of nearly every Baltimore scoring chance. "I've been here for 11 years and I've never been this hot," said Dempsey, who had only four homers and 32 runs batted in during the regular season. "I DON'T think anyone ever thought of my hitting a home run today or any other day in the World Series." And he was enjoying it. In a jubilant Orioles locker room, Dempsey took a congratulatory telephone call from President Reagan. "Thank you, sir. You can tell the Russians we're having an awiuny gooci nmc over nere playing baseball," Dempsey said. FOR ALTOBELLI, getting the job at Baltimore was a homecoming of sorts, since he spent 14 years in the Baltimore organization. It also was a supreme test of his ability to manage without the designated hitter, which is used in the American League but only allowed in evennumbered years in the World Series.
