OF Lonnie Chisenhall continued to hammer the ball, going 5-for-9 in the two wins, and Jr. DH Phil Disher did likewise, driving in six runs in the two wins. So. RHP Mike Cisco cruised through 6 IP Sunday before running into trouble in the seventh, and The Citadel scored five runs in the seventh and eighth innings–the last one coming against Gamecocks closer Wynn Pelzer.
