Menhart I past Terrii By JEFF SHREWSBURY Assistant sports editor Gamecock pitcher Dave Menhart didn't begin too well against Wofford, but he quickly made amends by giving up only four hits and striking out five as USC won 11-4. Pitching a shutout for five innings, Menhart gave up two walks and one hit to the first three Terrier batters of the game Wednesday, but rebounded to strike out the next three in order. The 6 loot freshman from Mystic, Conn., picked up his sixth straight victory against no losses before leaving the game for reliever Scott Bailey. With the win, the 17th-ranked Gamecocks improved to 30-14. USC coach June Raines said he was very pleased with the way Menhart has progressed through the season. "He threw the ball real well tonight," Raines said. "He's a tough competitor. He's going to be a fine pitcher before he leaves here." The brunt of USC's offense came from seven runs in the third and fourth innings, five coming in the third and two in the fourth.

Datin went four-for-five, while Aldrich, named last week's Metro Conference player of the week, was three-for-five with four runs batted in. "Aldrich and Datin are two guys who really got hot on our road trip, and it showed tonight," Raines said. "They're scoring a lot, and that's good to see." Bailey struck out two in the sixth, but allowed four unearned runs to Wofford on two Gamecock errors in the seventh.

New manager Chuck Tanner is still trying to get more production from the middle of the batting order as well as find a solid bullpen combination. Other than center fielder Dale Murphy, the Braves been unable to generate much offense. First baseman and cleanup batter Bob Horner has not gotten a hit in 23 times at bat this season, while left fielder Terry Harper and catcher Ozzie Virgil have only two RBl's apiece in the fifth and sixth spots. The threp havp rnmhinprl fr?r four hits in 61 at-bats thus far, a composite average of .066. But Tanner remains optimistic that his hitters will come around. "They are all giving an effort," Tanner said. "We have an aggressive, positive attitude." Another problem area is the bullpen, where veteran righthanders Gene Garber and Bruce Sutter have been ineffective. Garber's earned run average is 13.53 in one and one-third innings of work, while Sutter's is _ g&v* oVamk THE ALTI DORM ^ SPECIAL: 1st FULL y 1-2-3 BR GARD | 4427 BLOSSC '|C0" / X a rgc. \ ; e've priced our -j homes to fit within m or flexible leases ites from USC. n x^\ ^' WE HAVE AN APAI Are you looking for mori i rent or free security depo i close to USC?

Sutter is coming off shoulder surgery this past winter. He pitched two innings Wednesday night against 4 I Cincinnati, allowing only one hit, 1 a home run to Dave Concepcion, and struck out five. ' "I'm pleased with the way he (Sutter) is throwing," Tanner said. "I don't want to baby him; 1 want to pitch him." Tanner also said the team can't rely on one or two pitchers to carry the team. "We're not going to win with one pitcher. You win with ten pitchers." The Braves have gotten decent starting pitching early in the ^ season.
