1981 - A pitching duel was expected when #18 USC hosted Clemson on April 3rd, 1981, but both starters got off to a shaky start and it was 3-1 USC after one. 'I was really proud of Lubert' said Coach June Raines. 'I thought he was good early but we got him in trouble with our defense.' The Gamecocks made six errors on the day. An RBI single by Rod Carraway and RBI groundout by Jim Curl, along with a wild pitch, accounted for USC's early runs. Gamecock starter Dennis Lubert then settled down, allowing a run in the second and nothing more. Robbie Vollmer drove in another Carolina run with a sac fly and Carraway finished up the scoring with a 2-run single with the bases loaded as USC won 6-2.
