The USC baseball team split the
first two games of a three-game set
against Mississippi State in Starkville,
Miss.
The Gamecocks (26-11, 4-4) took
Friday night's contest 5-0 but fell to
the Bulldogs 6-4 Saturday.
Senior Scott Pace bounced back
from his first loss of the season last
weekend by limiting Mississippi State
to four hits in 7 1/3 innings of work
Friday. Pace (8-1) walked six to go
along with the four singles he gave
up, he but received outstanding defensive
support as the Gamecocks
turned three double plays and committed
no errors.
USC got on the board in the third
courtesy of a Bulldog error that allowed
shortstop Ryan Szwejbka to
reach base. Marie Gugino then tripled,
driving in Szwejbka.
USC scored its other runs in the
sixth. The Gamecocks parlayed three
walks, a sacrifice and three singles into
four runs.
Mac White, Szwejbka and Randy
Stegall singled to drive in runs. Ste
gall, a iresnman inira baseman who
made his first collegiate start after
missing 35 games with an injury,
drove in two runs on a pair of hits.
Craig Ross retired the final five batters
of the game after Pace gave up a
one-out single in the eighth. The combined
shutout marked the first time
MSU had been held scoreless in 66
games.

Saturday, the Gamecocks outhit the
Bulldogs 12-7, but USC pitchers
walked 10 batters, including four in a
crucial fifth-inning Bulldog rally.
USC scored single runs in the first
and fourth and two in the second to
take a 4-0 lead. The Bulldogs' fourrun
rally in the bottom of the fourth
came courtesy of only two hits.
Mississippi State scored the go
ahead run in the sixth when David
Hayman led off with a double and
scored on Brian Clarke's single. Scott
Davidson singled to drive in Clarke
for an insurance run.
J.J. Pearsall (1-3), pitching in relief
of USC starter Jim Stoops, took the
loss. Carlton Loewer (4-3) won for
MSU, and Scott Tansley picked up his
seventh save of the season.
Gugino was the bright spot offensively
for USC on the afternoon with
three singles and three runs scored.
White and Stokes both added two hits
as well.
The Gamecocks and Bulldogs battled
again Sunday afternoon in
Starkville. Results will appear in
Wednesday's edition of The Game
cock.
Upstate rival Clemson will come

with USC. The Gamecocks and
Tigers split their first two meetings
this season. The game is scheduled
for 7 p.m.

but I prefer watching

I have covered
before.
I took some heat from a number of
readers who thought my previous column
on the topic was sexist. Volleyball
coach Kim Hudson took offense
at my remarks. She was particularly
angered in light of the progress
women's athletics have made in gen
eral in recent years.
While that column was a torigue-in- I
cheek commentary on women's ath- <
letics, I really do prefer women's 1
sports to men's. Why, you may ask, is 1
this so? The answer is a three-letter J
word: EGO! <

in hopes of fame and fortune; women
give up their social lives, free time and
spring breaks because they love the
game. They are motivated by their
hearts, not their egos.

see one of the women signing their
name at mid-court. Not once have 1
seen any of the tennis players taunting
an opponent or crying about their
lack of playing time.
Not all of the USC male athletes are
egomaniacs. Baseball catcher/football
fullback Rob DeBoer is a notable exception.
He passed up a contract
with the Blue Jays to return for his senior
year and play football.
"People don't understand," DeBoer
said earlier in the year. "I love this
game.1"
Unfortunately for the sports fan,
DeBoer is the exception to the rule.
So those of you out there who are
purists, and watch the game because
you love it and not to see the athletes
hotdog and showboat, do yourselves
a favor. Go see a women's athletics
event.
You will be glad you did.
