the Gamecocks from racking up 16
hits and four more homeruns in al34

The victnrv is the second cnnsecn

loss to the College of Charleston.
Freshman pitcher Peter Bauer
made his first collegiate start, going
Vive strong innings.
Sophomore Adam Poe crushed two
homeruns and had five RBI to lead
the onslaught. Poe now has four homeruns
and eight RBI in only 11 at bats.
USC coach Ray Tanner said he was
