I Softball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Miss, 3-1. “We didn't play poorly,” Auburn head coach Tina Deese said. “We just couldn't hit very well today. Overall, we had a good performance this weekend.” The Tigers are 9-1 over their last 10 games and carry an 8-1 record on the road for the 2004 campaign. Their match against USC will be the first time the Tigers will have faced a top-25 team this year, while the Gamecocks have a respectable 3 4 record against such opponents. ^ Tiger Sara Dean is fourth in the ^SEC in batting average with a ro bust .420, including four home runs and 21 RBI. Dean's slugging percentage also ranks fourth in the conference at .704. The Auburn pitching rotation also features one of the top hurlers in the SEC, Kristen Keyes. In 97 innings pitched this year, Keyes leads the conference in both ERA, with a miniscule 0.29, and oppo nents' batting average, with a stingy .109. Auburn also has two other pitchers, Holly Currie and Beth DiPietro, who are both in the top 10 in the SEC in those same categories. With a pitching staff reminis cent of the Braves' starting rota tions of the '90s, the Gamecocks hitters will have their hands full. The USC offense has been some what anemic this season, as the Gamecocks are near the bottom of the SEC in most offensive cate gories, including a ranking eighth in the conference with a team bat ting average of .264. It will be in teresting to see if the Gamecocks can continue to put up just enough offense to eke out more thrilling victories. Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., with the second contest tentatively set for 3 p.m. Sunday’s game starts at 1 p.m. The Gamecocks will then travel to Knoxville, Tenn., to take on the Volunteers in a three-game series.
