( Sportswriters and fans predicted pitching wh as the weakness of this year's team. Three pitchers were injured, and junior Mike Cook he was the only returning starter that had faced major competition. 1 "We knew we had injury problems, but we the knew we had people who were healthy who could dp the job/' Jenkins said. of sai BUT SINCE opening day, several USC ing pitchers have surprised the critics and provid- am ed a stable rotation for head coach June i Raines. I s Larry Price, whose 1-1 record in 1983 ac- Jui counted for the only wins of his college rie career, is 3-2. Casey Reed, who recorded one be save in the past season, has a 3-1 record. Reliever Robby Coker was 0-2 with two saves lik in 1983, but he is 3-0 with three saves this pr year including Wednesday's 5-4 decision over ju; Virginia Tech. un Jenkins and Rex Perozo, both in their first bij season at Carolina after transferring from ] Florida junior colleges, each have 2-0 sta records. Returning starter Cook has a 4-1 record and leads the staff in strikeouts with ejg 25. ? Rc Raines and the pitchers attribute this pr season's success to first-year pitching coach djs Jeff Twitty. Twitty pitched at (JSC in 1978 and 1979, compiling an 11-6 record with 10 saves. He also pitched four years in the ab Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals d0 organizations. sts 4'COACH TWITTV has worked long and hard with them (the pitchers), and they want a. I 1 11 TM A.9^ ' 1.

"oker called Twitty "a real good coach o knows what he's talking about. rv ui tituii uu^ iu vuawn 1 w m y, said. rWITTY SAID his main job is to stress mental aspects of pitching. 'The guys already have a pretty good idea how to pitch as far as the mechanics," he i. "Any guy on the team is capable of dothe job. It's just a matter of experience 1 getting confidence." Although it is his first season at a Division chool since he pitched at Chipola (Fla.) nior College, Jenkins said he wasn't wor a about lacing major college competition fore the season started. "We faced a number of Division I teams e Florida State, and sometimes beat them etty bad," he said. "Most of the Florida lior colleges can compete with the larger iversities, so I felt the transition wasn't as ! for me." PRICE SAID the improvement of the rters helps the bullpen do a better job. Now we know we can go me seven to ht innings. We've got a super bullpen with bby Coker, Steve Boley and Rex Perozo," ce said. "Any time a starter can go the tance it gives good rest for a reliever." lenkins said, "I feel if I can go seven inn[S, Robby can shut them down. It lets us be le to show our pitches early and bear wn." Coker agreed with Price, saying the rters have improved. "THE STARTERS have been goini^lk d seven innings and doing their j&b.", )ker said. "At the start, they were g four or five innings, but now they're aog a lot better." - iwiiiiifOTniwjntwwwfwiwwvirtiwiiiMWMWiiwiiwrwv wyscggp i ^wSgk^^PSSS^^S^K l asaaeB^ gSBaB^ s wmm / Photo by Jmpfc ftawrtt terday's match against John Hollingsworth in straight sets.
