USC bounce!
By WAYNE WASHINGTON
Staff writer
It seems USC pitcher Rodney
Richey must not believe the talk
that this year's pitching staff will
keep the Gamecocks from returning
to the College World Series.
The junior from Greenville
hurled a four-hit shutout to
defeat the Clemson Tigers 5-0 at

was the first time Clemson had
been shutout in 232 games,
breaking a scoring streak that
stretched back to 1982.
USC broke out on top early, in
a game that contrasted the 14-11
loss Carolina suffered to the
Tigers Saturday night.
Riley Polk opened the bottom
of the first with a walk, and Dave
Smyth followed with a single.
Then Gamecock first baseman
Joe Datin moved the runners to
second and third with his
sacrifice fly. Junior Charlie
Aldrich scored Polk from third
with another sacrifice to put USC
ahead 1-0.
The game was scoreless until
the bottom of the fourth when

reached first on an error by Tiger
shortstop Rusty Charpia which
loaded the bases. Barns followed
with a single as the Tigers committed
a two-base error that gave
Carolina its final three runs.
Richey, who was told by Clemson,
among others, that he was
not ready for Division I college
baseball, did not give up a single
walk en route to his sixth victory
against two losses. Richey
blunted all Clemson rallies and at
one point retired fifteen consecutive
men. Jerry Brooks broke
Clemson's hitless streak in the
seventh, but the Tigers were not
to hit again until the eighth.
Clemson coach Bill Wilhelm
said, "You just have to give
credit to Rodney Richey. He

USC earned its 39th victory of
the season on Sunday, but Clemson
played the winners' role on
Saturday. The Tigers defeated
the Gamecocks 14-11 in a game
that had a collective total of 11
home runs. After Sunday's action,
USC and Clemson's records
stand at 39-18 and 36-17.

Softball team
splits twinbill,
ends season ,
By JOANNE KORTH
Senior reporter
USC's Lady Gamecock
softball team closed out
regular season play by splitting
a doubleheader with Furman
University.
The Gamecocks won the
first game in 11 innings, 3-2,
but dropped the second 2-0,
Saturday.
USC finished the year at
23-21, while Furman, also
playing its final games of the ^
season, ended the year with a
28-25 mark.
In game one, Furman got on
the board in a hurry in the first
inning, scoring one run on a
lead-off walk to Jenny Dyer.
Dyer stole second base and
scored from there on a single
by Julie Brzezinski.
Furman led 1-0 until the
sixth inning, when the Lady
Paladins added one more run
