Ags Drop Second To Go pliers
As Giel Wins Own Decision
NELSON TO LEAD OFF—Jerry Nelson will probably take the mound this afternoon
against Rice Institute’s Owl baseball delegation, to begin Southwest conference play this
season for the Aggies. The Cadets sport a 4-2 season record with wins over Sam Hous
ton and Brooke Army Medics. Their two losses were suffered at the hands of the Min
nesota Gophers. Game time today is 3 p.m. Saturday’s Sports Day game with Rice be
gins at 2 p.m.
’MURAL HIGHLIGHTS
A singly into left field in the
seventh inning wpn his own ball
gnme for Minnesota’s all-America
pitcher Paul Giel as the Aggies
dropped their second match of the
season fj-2,
Giel hit a sharp line drive into
left field to score Jerry Cloutier
with the game winning run. Just
to insure the win, the Gophers’ left
fielder Ken Yackel hit a line single
to right field and scored second
baseman Gene Maxtin from second.
Right fielder Ken Kielty flied out
to Pat Parrish, Aggie third base-
man to end the inning.
The Aggies’ two runs came in
their half of the first inning.
Jim Dishman led the frame off
With a walk, left fielder Don Ellis
struck out, second baseman Bob
Pender filed out to the Gophers’
right fielder. Dishman then stole
second base and went to third when
center fielder John Stockton sin
gled sharply to left field.
Dishman and Stockton both scor
ed when Cadet fixst baseman Les
Byrd doubled to left center. Pat
Parrish was called out on strikes
to end the inning.
The Aggies had eight men left
on base during the game and sev-
ei’al times ended an inning with
Cadets camped on second and third.
Both teams had a difficult time
advancing men to second base. Both
Jimmy Williams, Aggie receiver,
and Gene Steiger, Gopher catcher,
were watching second base sharp
ly and consequently, only one base
was stolen by each side.
Steiger cut down three Aggies
who attempted to steal second. He
retired the side on one case when
he tagged a batter after a dropped
third strike and caught Parrish
coming into second.
Giel’s seven strikeouts, while not
by any means a repeat of his 16
strikeout show against Aggie Mel
vin Work last season, were indica
tive of his mound steadiness and
control. Giel walked six Cadets
while A&M hurlers Tex Vanzura,
Lynn Monical and Ed Hennig walk
ed four Gophers.
Vanzura pitched a creditable
game until the seventh inning. In
the first six, he faced a total of
only 20 batters, walked one, gave
up five hits and allowed two runs.
His downfall came in the sev
enth when he was obviously tiring
badly. Anderson, the first man
up for the Gophers in their half of
the seventh, flied out to Dishman.
Cloutier drew a walk. Buro lined
a single through shortstop advanc
ing Cloutier to second.
Martin hit a grounder to Dish-
man who forced
Buro
at second.
