Pope's goal By DAVE KAY Staff writer The Gamecock soccer team made Grenville Pope's goal stand up Wednesday, with a 1-0 victory over The Citadel at The Graveyard. The close score indicated a drop in the intensity level after Sunday's big win over Clemson. "I think we suffered a letdown today," said USC head coach Mark Berson. "We didn't have much left after the Clemson game, but we got through it, and we're on to the next ore." Despite the close score, the Gamecocks were in complete control, keeping the ball in Bulldog territory for most of the game.

Orel Hershiser continued his shutout ways, and Lasorda's Los Angeles Dodgers took charge early in Wednesday night's seventh and deciding game of the National League playoffs in blanking the New York Mets 6-0. Thus, the Dodgers will play in their first World Series in seven years, taking on the well-rested U Oakland Athletics, who completed a sweep of the Boston Red Sox in the American League playoffs The Series begins with games Saturday and Sun* day night at Dodger Stadium before moving to |k Oakland for three games next week. "This is a team of destiny," Lasorda said of the til Dodgers, decided underdogs against the Mets and sure to be accorded that role against the Athletics. "We beat what I think is the best all-around team in the National League." "It's not the biggest and strongest team that wins, it's the one that wants it more.

Hershiser, who completed the season with an alltime record 59 consecutive scoreless innings, did the rest and was rewarded for his effort by being selected as the Most Valuable Player in the playoffs. "Anytime you do something with the whole team, it's much more important than any individual award," said Hershiser, who allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five. Hershiser almost lost his shutout early, allowing a single to Wally Backman and a walk to Keith Hernandez in the top of the first. But he got out of trouble by getting Darryl Strawberry to hit into a forceout and Kevin McReynolds to line to third. "I was absolutely terrible in the first inning," Hershiser said. "I was very, very fortunate to get out of that inning. If there was a turning point, after looking back, it was probably McReynolds' line drive that (Jeff) Hamilton caught." The Dodgers went on top in the bottom of the inning on a single by Steve Sax, a double by Mickey Hatcher and Kirk Gibson's sacrifice fly. Mets starter Ron Darling then struck out Mike Marshall and John Shelby to escape further damage. s more magn ASKA: I picked against Coach Mike Archer's Ben t. last week when they rebounded nicely from c ado, and the Cowboys losses at Ohio State and 1 .

"I had good stuff. I felt fine out there. It was a nightmare second inning. We didn't play well that inning." Several Mets, including manager Davey Johnson, said the inning was the team's worst all season. It started with consecutive singles by Mike Scioscia and Hamilton. Alfredo Griffin then attempted to sacrifice, but he popped up a budt, similar to what Gibson did one night earlier. The difference was that Gibson's bunt in the first inning was caught by winning pitcher David Cone. Griffin's bunt fell between first base and the pitcher's mound, and the Mets couldn't make a play, so the bases were loaded. Hershiser then hit a slow bouncer to third baseman Gregg Jefferies, who bobbled the ball, thus eliminating the possibility of a force at the plate, and threw too late to first. That made it 2-0, and the Dodgers' lead doubled when Sax singled to center to drive in Hamilton and Griffin. That was all for Darling; who allowed hits to jsix of the 10 batters he faced. He might have had goo# stuff, but it wasn't the right stuff.
