Walt Kelly Fish Win 7-5; Ags Defeated 5-4 Holliday’s Homer Gives Fish Extra-Inning Win By J. EARSEL CARRELL Battalion Sports Staff Bobby Holliday’s towering 360-foot blast over the left- center field fence in the face of a strong north wind drove in two runs in the eleventh inning and gave the Fish a 7-5 vic tory over the Baylor Cubs Monday, in Kyle Field. Dick Munday was the winning pitcher, hurling ten-hit ball to gain his fourth victory of the season with one loss. Munday struck out eight Cubs and walked four. With the score tied 5-5 at the end of nine innings, the Fish load ed the bases with none out in the tenth, only to have the Cubs pull the outstanding defensive play of the day. Lew Blood of the Fish lined out to left field to start a brilliant triple play, with Cadet Billy Ross caught off at third and Aggie second baseman Lupe Fraga at second as the play went from Tony Degrazier to Buddy Brazil to Del Shofner. The Fish scored a run in the first when Bill White doubled and scor ed on the Cub centerfielder’s mis- cue with two out. Two more runs scored in the second when Holli day doubled to open the inning, Bob Gattis doubled him in and Dick Bleckner flied out to bring Gattis in after Munday singled him to third. The Cubs tied it up in the fifth and went ahead in the eighth at 4- 3 when Matt Miller singled in Shofner. The F^ish scored two runs in the same inning to take a 5- 4 lead bn Munday’s leadoff sin gle, Bleckner’s sacrifice and Fra- ga’s run-scoring single. White then singled in Fraga. Jerry Mallett doubled in Paul Buchanan to tie the ball game up.

Only league-leading Texas and cellar-ridden Rice were unaffected by the action. Texas needs only two more wins to cinch the SWC crown. The Aggies dropped to third place following their defeat by Baylor. The Bears replaced A&M in second place. TCU, losing to Texas, stayed in third place. SMU, splitting a double-header with the hapless Owls, remained in their fourth place position. In Waco yesterday, Baylor scor ed a run in the eighth and another in the ninth to overtake A&M, 5-4. Sophomore Gary Freeman dou bled home Mickey Sullivan with the winning run. Baylor had tied it up in the eighth when Tom Anderson walked, took third on Jerry Dykeman’s single and scored on Allen Lucas’ fly to left. Don Ellis had homered in the seventh to put the Aggies ahead, 4-3. Big Fred Gottlieb notched his second conference victory against no defeats, yielding six hits. Mickey Sullivan continued his heavy hitting for Baylor, getting two hits in three trips. Southpaw Joe Hardgrove of A&M was the loser; DALLAS—Tommy Bowers pitch ed SMU to a 14-7 victory in the first game of a double-header with Rice Monday. The Owls won the extra-inning nightcap, 4-1, with a three run ninth inning rally. Bowers struck out a dozen Owls as he chalked up his fourth vic tory against two defeats. The SMU righthander surrendered six hits, and walked three.

Blaine had 10. Other Aggies scoring points in the meet were Bobby Gross, first in shot with a 52-6 heave; James Earle, who tied for second in the pole vault with a 12-0 leap; Pete Mayeaux and Tom Dollahite, sec ond and third in javelin; Tom Bo- nordeh, fourth in shot; Dollahite FORT WORTH—Held to three unearned runs for seven innings, Texas finally broke through Tom my Hill for one in the eighth and then added two more in the ninth under its own power for a 6-3 Southwest Conference baseball vic- tory over TCU Monday. Until the final innings it was a stirring pitching duel between Hill and Texas’ Boyd Linker. The Long horn ace was touched for seven hits, three in the first inning, and two earned runs while Hill was tossing a four-hitter. Little League Tryouts .
