The University of South Carolina baseball team closed out its regular season Saturday and will take on Alabama in the SEC tournament next week, but will most likely be without infielder Casey Rihn. The 21-year-old junior infielder celebrated the season’s end by getting drunk and harassing a police car.

From WLTX.com:

Authorities say Rihn began beating on a police car, asking for a ride. After the officer began talking with Rihn, he noticed he was intoxicated. Rihn attempted to run from police and resist arrest, but officers were able to handcuff in. Authorities say he resisted arrest multiple times.

It’s like I always say. You can take a guy out of La Habra but you can’t take La Habra out of the guy. According to an unnamed source the team has cleaned out Rihn’s locker. Considering that he hadn’t played in the Gamecocks’ last six games I’d Rihn’s season was already over.

I don’t know how well any of these guys can play baseball, but they’re handshake game is major league. You gotta love that the Florida State baseball team is hanging out at Popeye’s eating and coming up with new routines. At least they’re not shooting guns in the backyard.

FSU did a nice job, and the Chewbacca impersonation at the end was tight, but the fellas on the UC Irvine baseball team takes five-slappin up a notch.

Jorge Reyes, a pitcher for Oregon St. and the Most Outstanding Player from last year’s College World Series, was arrested for firing bullets that hit a house and a car. Reyes, teammate John Wallace, and former teammate Anton Maxwell, were shooting soda cans with a rifle in Maxwell’s backyard, obviously unaware that bullets can penetrate things like fences. The stray shots were too close for comfort for student Brian Bodtker.

One of seven students who lives in the house on the other side of the fence, said two of the bullets lodged in an outside wall but one went through his bedroom window. Three more bullets hit a car parked in front of the same window.

“One shot went through my bedroom window, ricocheted off the wall and landed on my bed,” Bodtker told the Gazette-Times.

I guess when you’re the College World Series Most Outstanding Player and you pitch for the two time defending champs, you think you’re above the law.. You think you’re bulletproof.. But you’re not and neither are your neighbors. Now trust me, I understand.. It’s college. People do dumb shit in college. So go flip over a car, pull the fire alarm in the dorms, anything.. Besides accidentally shooting the guy across the street.
