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.
Pope scored his sixth goai of the season at the 36:38
mark of the first half. Craig Hartman tapped the ball to

his third game-winner of the season.
The remainder of the game consisted of great defensive
plays by each team.

By Associated Press
LOS ANGELES ? Take it from Tom Lasorda
? the best team doesn't always win. Unless, of
course, it's destined to happen that way.
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. I told the
writers before when David slew Goliath everyone
was betting all their rocks on Goliath, but many
Davids have won since the time of Goliath."

Fifth-ranked USC improved its record to 10-2-1.
to meet Oakk
day night as the Mets, winners of 100 games during
the season, committed two errors and made a mental
mistake during a five-run Los Angeles second
inning that blew the game open.
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.

ind in Series
"I felt really good after the first inning, getting
those two strikeouts to get out with just one rup,"
Darling said. "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. V
