COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) -- Despite going 5-13 with two home runs at Auburn over the weekend, no one wants to talk to L.B. Dantzler about baseball these days.

The junior third baseman is responsible for the new Gamecock baseball motto, "Fear The Fish."

After failing to find someone to look after his pet betta fish last weekend, Dantzler brought Reptar on the bus with him to Auburn. After spending part of the weekend in the bullpen inspiring the team to a road sweep, Reptar is Carolina baseball's new motto.

Dantzler plans on having him in the dugout or bullpen for this week's home series against Alabama and taking him on the plane for next week's trip to Arkansas.
