Cory Boyd (S r.) The Daily Gamecock ● TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2007 11 Baseball hosts UNC-Asheville in mid-week affair Michael Finnegan THE DAILY GAMECOCK

USC’s baseball team (17-3) hosts the Bulldogs of UNC- Asheville (6-15) tonight in a mid-week matchup at Sarge Frye Field. The Gamecocks are coming off of a 3-1 week, including winning their fi rst SEC series of the year against the Tigers of LSU. Tuesday is supposed to be the second start of the season for junior pitcher Arik Hempy, who is recovering from surgery that ended his sophomore season. But, after delaying his start from Sunday, Hempy has been pushed back once again -- this time for Wednesday’s game. Instead, getting the starting nod for the Gamecocks is junior Sean Wideberg, who is making his first start of the year. Wideberg has posted an ERA of 1.80 and has 6 strikeouts in only fi ve innings pitched. The strong pitching for the Gamecocks does not end with the starters. The entire pitching staff is among the nation’s best with a team ERA of 2.23 with 180 Meg Gaillard / THE DAILY GAMECOCK strikeouts to only 56 walks. USC fi rst baseman Justin Smoak continues to swing a hot bat, leading Carolina with six home runs and 26 RBIs this season while committing no errors.
