COLUMBIA ó University of South Carolina freshmen Lonnie Chisenhall and Nick Fuller have been permanently dismissed from the baseball team after a violation of athletic department policy, head coach Ray Tanner announced today.

"This is a very unfortunate situation," Tanner said in a statement released by the school. "Both of these young men come from outstanding families and I feel bad for their parents. It is inappropriate for me to make any other comments, as this case is now in the hands of the legal authorities, but they are no longer part of the Gamecock baseball program."

Chisenhall, a left-handed hitting outfielder and infielder, started started USC's first 19 games, hitting .313 with a home run and 13 RBI. He did not play in USC's last game, a 9-5 victory over LSU on Sunday.

Fuller, a right-handed pitcher, has made six appearances, all in relief. In five innings he did not allow a hit or run while walking 7 and striking out 7.
