Tampa's NBA hopes crushed
A $100,000 check from the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey franchise and
area businessman Vince Naimoli for an expansion application recently was
returned by the NBA.
The return of the check practically ensures that the Tampa Bay area will
not receive an expansion team anytime in the future. Unfortunately, the city
is building a $110-million arena in the downtown area.

Gamecocks
By TONY SANTORI
Sports Editor
The Gamecock baseball team lost
two of three to Georgia this weekend
ifi i CUP CArlpc
Ul A UUW1W kJLiV*
The lone bright spot of the weekend
was coach June Raines' 700th career
victory in Saturday's 24-12 win.
Raines' milestone win came on an
unusual day at Sarge Frye Field.
"It was a weird ballgame," he said.
"You look out there (on the scoreboard)...36
runs, 40 hits, Five errors...it
sounds like a football game.
It was a weird weekend for freshman
Craig Dour as well.
Dour led the Gamecock offensive
explosion Saturday with a pair of
home runs. The shortstop from Palm
Harbour, Fla., hit a solo shot and a
two-run homer. The second home
run landed around second base on
the Lady Gamecocks' softball field beyond
the left-field fence of Frye Field.
as a team, me uamecocics scored
in each of the first six innings Saturday,
including four runs in each the
first and fourth and five runs in each
the second and third.
Ten USC players got hits Saturday,
and seven players had a multiple-hit
game.
Freshman Randy Stegall, making a
start at third base, hit a home run and
added three singles while driving in
five baserunners. His five RBIs on the
day more than doubled his season total.
Stegall missed much of the first
half of the season with a broken finger.
Catcher Brian Hucks went 2-for-3
and drove in five runs. The sophomore
from Lexington hit a grand slam
and a run-scoring double.
USC registered 24 hits on the afternoon:
four home runs, four dou
bles, 16 singles and a triple by senior
Mac White.
White, a Charlotte, N.C., native, tied
the USC record for career triples with
12, to go along with his career doubles
record.
White scored five times on the day
as he went 3-for-4 with a pair of
walks.
The offensive outburst didn't have
Raines worried about a letdown.
"Everybody says, 'Well, you've got
to save a few,'" he said. "But you
don't have to save up hits. You've got
to go out and swing the bat, and
that's what we did."
Despite the run support, Gamecock
starting pitcher Jim Stoops couldn't
last long enough to pick up the win.
Stoops pitched 4 2/3 innings, giving
up eight earned runs on nine hits.
He walked five and struck out three.
Sophomore Ted Rose pitched the
final 4 1/3 innings to pick up the win,
giving up four runs on seven hits. The
St. Clairsville, Ohio, native also went
3-for-5 at the plate and drove in four
runs.
