OTHER TEAMS in the tournament I also included U NC-Grecnsboro, Magler, USC'-Spartanburg, lirskine, College of Charleston, Winthrop, Wake forest, Jacksonville arid Citadel. "The games are short, and there aren't as many chances to score as in outdoor soccer," said Soncfcld, a midfielder. "We just weren't able to take advantage of those chances." In the first 20-minute half of play against Duke, tied with USC during the regular season play, Arnic Arnthorrson, assisted by Doug Allison, put the ball in the net.

The Demon Deacons scored the tic. ing point against the Gamecocks with |? less than two minutes left to play. | "The team just had a mental lapse," Herson said. "Wake F-'orest saw this, and were able to score." Although Herson will have to wait another day to see his dream of a Gamecock victory over Clemson.he was happy with the tournament itself. 'THE SURFACE was in good I shape, and the competition was excellent," Berson said. "The Hubble Tournament was a tremendous success." And just as the quarter finals was heart breaking for USC ? the finals were for Clemson ? the culprit again being Duke.

Besides making the plays in the field, Morris went 3 for 4, including a home run. " ? ?* USU pounds 49ers with 16-1 victory By Tracy Mixson and Jeff Owens Two newcomers to USC's baseball team led a 19-hit, 16-run attack yesterday as the Gamecocks pounded UNCCharlotte at Sarge Frye Field, 16-1. Jeff Morris and Charlie Aldrich, junior college transfers who joined Carolina this season, combined for five hits and six runs in the Gamecocks' 1985 home opener. Aldrich's double in the second inning started a six-run, two-out Gamecock rally to quickly put the game out of the 49ers' reach. AI.DKICII ADVANCED TO THIRIi nn ground-out. After Jeff Barnes walked, a double steal resulted in USC's first score and opened the doors to the Gamecocks' rout. Losing pitcher Jeff Johnson appeared to be rattled as he walked both Dave Hollins and Bobby Miller, setting up a three-run double by Rob Rhinehart. Morris then added two more with a home run. After five more runs in the next four innings, the Gamecocks enjoyed another big inning in the seventh, led by USC reserves Mark Nelson, Garrett Carter, Keith Killian and Lewis Jenkins. Nelson led off with a double and scored on another double by Carter. Killian and Jenkins brottght home the next three runs with back-to-back homers. "NELSON, CARTER AND JENKINS all came off the bench and had big hits, and Killian hit a monstrous home run," said June Raines, USC head baseball coach. "I was pleased to be able to play every one." Raines said every Gameock, with the exception of pitchers and injured players, played. Ten extra base hits highlighted the 19-hit attack off four UNC-C pitchers. "We came out and swung the bats really well," Raines said. "When one guy isn't hitting, the others are." ALMOST FVERY PI.AYFR was hitting yesterday, as 13 of 17 Gamecocks earned a hit off the 49ers. "I was pleased with their overall effort," Raines said. That overall effort also included starting pitcher l.arry I'ricc, \*ho allowed only two hits and one run m the winning effort The senior, who led the pitching staff in 1984 with a 9-3 record, went six innings while walking four and striking out two. i csierclay's victory, combined with Saturday's 12-0 win I over Baptist College in Charleston, lifted the Gamecocks' record to 2-0.
