three years.
The 1-0 win tied the national record of 37-straight
victories set by Princeton a year ago, but Johnson
and the Lady Gamecocks had more work ahead of
them.
In the second game, South Carolina was shut
down offensively by Tennessee pitcher Buffy Walker
(W 13-6), who had a no-hitter going through five
^ innings.
P Matching her performance was Carolina's Nikki
Beers, who gave up only two hits through the first
five innings before Compton brought in Johnson
to shut the door on the Lady Vols.
"Trinity threw well," Compton said. "She had
a couple of tough innings, but she bared down when
we needed her to."
USC can't say they didn't have a chance to set
the record without going into extra innings when
they loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom
of the sixth inning.
But Kim Pietro was retired on an infield popf)
up, and after Tina Plow's fly out to center field,
Kendra McCutcheon was doubled off second base
to end the threat.
After the two teams went nine innings, the
tiebreaker rule was installed. With the rule, a
baserunner is placed at second base to start the
inning.
UTs Sarah Ayres was stranded at third in the
top of the 10th, so Elliott started the bottom half
of the 10th at second.
She reached third on a tag-up off Sondra Hall's
flv ball to center field and scored in dramatic fashion
off Troesh's single to left.
"I was just trying to visualize myself hitting the
ball, and that's the way it happened," Troesh said.
"The whole thing happened in slow motion."
All good things must oome to an end, and Sunday
the streak came to a screeching halt as UT became
the first team in 39 games to defeat USC with a
^ 6-1 victory.

dak ends at 38 against
Johnson (L 23-2) was off her game and was
roughed up, giving up eight hits in seven innings.
Tennessee scored six unearned runs off four
consecutive Carolina errors in the fifth inning to
put them up for good and break the record-breakers
streak.
In the second game, USC bounced back to
defeat the Lady Vols, 1-0.
Senior Chanda Lee reached on an error in the
third inning and went to second on a wild pitch.
She was driven in by Tina Plew's bouncer over
third base to give Carolina the one and only run
it needed.
"I'm really proud of how the team did in the
second game," Plew said. "We all stuck together
and put up that one run we needed and hung in
there defensively.
On the mound, Sky Brown (W 11-0) cruised,
giving up no runs and scattering only three hits
through seven innings.
"We knew they'd be tough games and we knew
Tennessee was not going to be an easy team coming
in here," Compton said. "I'm disappointed with the
way we played today. I just don't feel like we were
ready to play today."

Why not try something really different this
summer? Join a group of highly motivated
Winthrop University students for two weeks of
easy and relaxed hiking, camping, fishing,

geology of famous Yellowstone National Park in
northwestern Wyoming. The class, SCIE. 222,
begins at the park on June 25 and ends on July 5.
Students may arrive at the park by air, train, bus, or

provides 6 hrs of transferable credit. Join us in late
June for the learning adventure of a life-time. Cost:
$500 lab fee, tuition, and transportation. If
