When Pomar took the mound

were still looking for their first base

Pomar walked the first batter,
Matt Wells, on a 3-2 pitch.

ovation for his gritty outing.
"I didn't want to give up a hit
against this team," Pomar said,
admitting that he realized he had
a no-hitter going "pretty much the
whole game."
Pomar said that he had been
inconsistent earlier in the year, but
he said, "I've been rolling, and
tonight, I just came in with an
attitude that Fm going to come in
and dominate."
Coach Ray Tanner said Pomar
was "sharp tonight and he located
better than he's located before. We
hope that he gets back on track a

The Gamecocks also showed off
the nation's top-scoring offense,
scoring four runs in the first, three
in the fifth and five in the seventh
to build the 12 run lead.

The Gamecocks are back home
on Wednesday for their fourth and
final game against Clemson.
Clemson leads the series two games
to one. Freshman Jamie Poston
will start for the Gamecocks.
"This may be the
understatement of the year," Tanner
said, "but the key for us is pitching.
It seems like every time we get a
solid effort on the mound, we win."
This will be the Gamecocks last
home game until May 6 when the
team plays Furman.
"It's going to be an emotional
game," Tanner said. "No doubt
about it."

Craig Dahl and Jim Boeheim
should get together sometime.
Maybe they could hang out and
talk about coaching over a cup of
coffee.
Dahl, the hockey coach at St.

uiuuu oiaic, aim Dueuenu, tue
men's basketball coach at Syracuse
University, probably wouldn't find
much common ground in discussing
the finer points of their respective
sports. But if the subject ever drifted
to computers, hours of chatter would .
likely ensue.
A couple of weeks ago, Boeheim
let the world know what he thinks
of the NCAA's use of computerized
"power ratings" to determine the
64 teams in the national
tournament.
"This power rating crap, you
can take it and shove it," Boeheim
said.
Despite a 19-12 record, Syracuse
missed the cut and failed to make
it into the field, mainly because
the team didn't fare well in the
computer's formula.

at least once this weekend to have
a shot at making the NCAA

Like Boeheim, Dahl is not '
impressed by the computerized
ranking system. His biggest issues *
are with the rankings of Denver *
and Vermont (No. 5). 1
"I have some problems with

Dahl said.
Not surprisingly, Denver coach

opinion on the ranking system.
"Hey, they're just going by the

Ifs that kind of mentality that
Dahl disagrees. He doesn't like the
act that his team's fete lies strictly

laid. "At least college basketball
