SportsT Loss from page 9 “1 thought (the pinch-hitters) were the right situations, and they didn’t come through,” Tanner said, “That’s part of baseball. You try to make moves, but play ers have to make plays, and it just did n’t happen today.” Brian Jeffcoat was unable to move Kel ly over to third on a bunt. Shane Nelson struck out, and Bo Mobley grounded out to first to end USC’s magical season.

You have to credit their pitching staff.” The key to the series win for UL-L was the performance of freshman left hander Andy Gros in Saturday’s game. “I think the whole weekend hinged on Andy Gros’ performance,” UL-L Coach Tony Robichaux said. “Our biggest goal was to try to get Andy Gros to pitch us to Scott Dohmann. We felt if we could get to Scott, we’d have a chance on Sunday.” I hey got to Dohlmann, the Cajuns’ Mo. 1 starter, and he did the job. “Dohlmann did have a good slider to by,” Tanner said. “He was outstanding, >ut I think you have to credit Coach Ro >ichaux and how he uses those guys.” Did die Gamecocks imagine being in -olumbia rather than Omaha during the College World Series? “I really didn't,” Barber said. “Before he game, we were very, very focused. I sally thought we’d win today.” As a freshman, Drew Meyer had a cellar year, but watching UL-L celebrate n his field was the low point. “That wasn’t good,” Meyer said. “Wfe :lt like we should have won this game, ’s tough watching their team celebrate, specially when you have so much rid ig on it. We wanted to go to Omaha.” Sean Rayford Sports Photo Editor John McHenry tags out UL-L’s Will Hawkins in Saturday’s game against the Ragin’ Cajuns.
