Thursday, 'April 21, 1955 THE BATTALION Pa^eS Ags Face Tough Series With Baylor With itrc hat still dofimtely in the ring for the conference championship, A&M’s baseball squad attacks the Waco strong hold of Baylor’s Bears tomor row with renewed entlmsiasm. “With this bunch of guys it wouldn’t matter if we lost 30 games,” said first sacker John Hoyle, “they’d still want to win just as bad.” The Aggies suffered their first defeat of the conference season last Saturday at the hands of the University of Texas, and go into the two- game series with Baylor with a 4-1 conference mark. SMU pulled into a tie with the Cadets for first in season standings Tuesday by edging Baylor 8-7 at Waco. Both teams now have 10-4 records. SMU is 6-0 in conference play. A&M’s ace, Joe Hardgrove, probably will face the Bruins’ Freddie Gottlieb Saturday, with Dick Munday or Jerry Nelson taking the hill for the Ags tomorrow. Munday was handicapped in the Longhorn games last week by a badly cut index finger on his pitching hand. The injury kept him from making use of some his bettet pitches. “It’s still pretty sore, but I think it will be all right for the Baylor games,” Munday said. The series is important to both teams. A&M must win to keep abreast of the fast- moving Mustangs, and Baylor needs at least a split to stay in serious title contention.' Munday has toiled 33 innings, and given up only three earn ed runs. He has a 3-0 record going into the Baylor contests. Brightest spot on the Ag gie horizon at present is the improvement of the team at the plate. At least three players, Joe Schero, Jimmy Williams and Dick Bleckner hoisted their averages in. the Texas series.
