Columbia, SC: Lineups Are In...
By Roger Olivieri - June 01, 2007
The lineups for tonight's #1 vs #4 match-up, South Carolina vs. Wofford, are in. James Darnell, Carolina's leading hitter was questionable coming in, but he is playing tonight at 3B and batting second as usual.
South Carolina - 2B Travis Jones, 3B James Darnell, 1B Justin Smoak, DH Phil Disher, C Trent Kline, RF Andrew Crisp, LF Jon Willard, CF Steven Reinhold, SS Reese Havens.
Wofford - SS Mike Gilmartin, CF Bradford Eaves, DH Shane Kirkley, 3B Brandon Waring, LF John Brandt, 1B Adam Wood, RF Sterling Dye, C Keith Munns, 2B Eric Sturkie
The only thing that would make the upcoming contest more exciting is if the wind were blowing out. Instead, it's blowing from left to right (more in than out). Why is that important? The nation's top two home run hitting teams are about to square off. Wofford leads the nation with 106 while the Gamecocks have 104. The top 4 in each line-up have a combined 128 HR this season. And in those eight guys (hitters 1-4 in each line-up), Wofford's #2 hitter Bradford Eaves, only has seven.
