From Staff Reports
In the midst of a four-game losing streak, including
losses to Virginia Tech, Wichita State and The Citadel,
the USC baseball team knew that a victory over
19th-ranked Georgia Tech Tuesday night would salvage
a little decency and respect from fans and players
alike.
Nine innings and two outs later into that game, it
didn't look promising for the Gamecocks. That is, until
Dave Willman stepped up to bat.
Willman punched a single in the top of the ninth to

cocks a 4-3 lead against the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta.
USC's Jerry Shepherd then added a double to
' score two additional runs to lift the Gamecocks over
Georgia Tech 7-4.
USC pitcher Sean Hardwick improved to 8-2 as he
allowed only two hits in two innings, while striking
out two. Rob Mosser earned his sixth save of the
year.

Oeorgia lech coach bobby
Cremins said Thursday he may 1
look into the Notre Dame job but ' 1
would not say if he had been
contacted by the school. 1
Cremins is both Irish and
Catholic and has often been
linked to other coaching jobs
while at Georgia Tech. But Cremins
has turned them down with '
barely more than a blink.
But he refused to rule out a
chance to be Notre Dame's head 1
basketball coach. Asked why, he
said:
"I don't know why. But I'm
not. I'll let you read whatever
you want into that. I think what
needs to be read into that from
my standpoint is it's something
that personally I might look into.
It's a personal thing."

Cremins said money would be
no factor in his decision. In fact,
he said he would take it as a
"major insult" if any school used
money as a lure to get him away
from Georgia Tech.
^ And while some have criticized
Notre Dame for the way it
handled Phelps* resignation, Cremins
shied away from any comments
on that, saying he didn*t
know anything about it But Cremins
said it would have no influence
on his own decision.
Cremins said Notre Dame is a
"fabulous school," one he would
not have been able to ignore ?
even for South Carolina and
legendary coach Frank McGuire
? had they come calling when
he was a high school star.
"Fortunately, Notre Dame
didn't recruit me or I wouldn't
have had a choice," Cremins told
reporters after a luncheon honoring
the Hall of Fame inductees.
"Only Notre Dame could have
beaten Frank McGuire."
