Team of the week, April 27-May 3: The Citadel

The Citadel (4-0 for the week)

(beat South Carolina; went 3-0 vs. Presbyterian)

Second-year Coach Russell Triplett had his Bulldogs face challenge after challenge in the nonconference portion of the schedule. Three-game series sweeps by ranked Florida State and Kentucky teams and single losses to Clemson and Georgia resulted in a eight-game hit on the overall record even though the Bulldogs battled on near-even terms in every game.

Those lumps have turned into muscles for the Bulldogs, who are three-games over .500 after winning four games this week.

One need look no further than the mound to see the foundation for this week's success. Bulldogs pitchers allowed 15 hits and 3 runs with 31 strikeouts in 32 innings. They had a 0.84 ERA and a .143 opponents' batting average.

Tuesday's shutout at South Carolina was the school's first-ever against the Gamecocks in Columbia.  Andrew Buffkin, Ben Brash and Michael Gibson combined on a one-hit shutout in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader sweep at Presbyterian.  In Game 2, the Bulldogs were held to a hit themselves, but still won.

Gibson has been one of the top two-way players in the state. This week, he struck out five in three shutout innings while picking up a pair of saves.  At the plate he was 5-for-12 with a run scored three RBI. 

For the season, Gibson has a 3-2 record, 7 saves and 54 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings in 4 starts and 11 relief appearances. His 4.76 ERA is the lowest it's been since the first week of the season. Gibson has a .365 batting average with 5 doubles, 3 homers and 20 RBI in 85 at-bats.

Up next: at home against Samford, 6 p.m. Friday.

* NCAA Division I: Tryston McCladdie and Jarren Purify had RBI singles in the eighth inning as Clemson (28-20, 8-16 ACC) rallied past No. 20 Boston College (35-16, 17-10). Purify's last hit before Sunday was at The Citadel March 18 ...

Jackson Winer doubled and homered to drive in four runs as No. 9 Coastal Carolina (33-14, 19-5 Sun Belt) took Game 1 of a doubleheader at Georgia  Southern (14-34, 6-18). The Eagles had a pair of three-run innings early in the nightcap to earn the split ... Trey Bentley, Johnny Sweeney and Henry Zenor had three hits apiece and USC Upstate (22-26, 11-10 Big South) completed a sweep of Gardner-Webb (22-27, 8-13) with a run-rule win ...

LSU (28-21, 9-15 SEC) completed a sweep of South Carolina (22-27, 7-17) with a shutout win to tighten South Carolina's hold on 15th place in the standings ... Both teams had five hits and benefited from three opponent errors, but UNC Asheville (18-30, 6-12) did more with so little, shutting out Winthrop (30-18, 13-5) to salvage the series finale. Cooper Smith struck out nine in a complete game for UNCA ... Western Carolina (31-17, 12-6 SoCon) scored five runs in the fourth inning and withstood a three-run ninth by Wofford (31-17, 9-6) to take the rubber game of the series.

* Conference Carolinas: Thomas Powell drove in three runs and Josh Foulks had three hits as North Greenville (47-9) topped Young Harris (38-16) to force a winner-take-all game at 1 p.m. Monday. Earlier in the day, Foulks and Lane McGaha homered as North Greenville eliminated Belmont Abbey. 

* Peach Belt Conference: Columbus State (30-21) snapped Lander's (33-19) 11-game winning streak and forced a winner-take-all game at 3 p.m. Monday in the Greenwood bracket.

* Region 10: Florence-Darlington Tech (48-10) advanced to Monday's championship round with a win over top seed Gaston College. The Stingers ended Gaston College's 18-game winning streak and picked up their third win in seven meetings with the Rhinos this season. After USC Union eliminated USC Lancaster (24-28) to earn the right to play Gaston College for a spot in the title game, the Rhinos (53-4) run-ruled the Bantams (32-24).

* South Atlantic Conference: Former Spartanburg Methodist pitcher Kemper Nix struck out 13 in 6 2/3 innings for Catawba (41-9) as it run-ruled Coker (17-34) to advance to the championship series next week in Asheboro, N.C. Nathan Chrismon had three hits and drove in five for the Indians ... Former Clemson player Lleyton Lackey doubled and homered to drive in five runs and Lenoir-Rhyne (37-12-1) eliminated Newberry (28-25). The Bears then lost to Wingate, which advanced to the championship series.

* Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference:  Benedict (23-16) got the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth inning before being eliminated by Morehouse.  Cameron Haley homered and drove two runs for Benedict. The Tigers had an early 10-3 lead before Morehouse put up right runs in the fifth ...  Earlier in the day, Benedict took the lead with six runs in the sixth inning and held on to eliminate Savannah State (27-20).

The Tigers snapped a nine-game conference losing streak and moved past USC in the standings ... Johnny Sweeney's 31st career home run was a grand slam, helping USC Upstate (21-26, 10-10 Big South) clinch at series win over Gardner-Webb (21-26, 8-12).
