Gems saved all their hits and runs for two big- innings, defeating the Aggies 6-4 on Kyle Field. Outhit 7-6 by the Aggies, the Gems, a farm club of Kansas City, cracked out three hits and three runs in the third and eighth innings to salt away the victory. James Smotherman, A&M right- fielder from Frisco, was the leading hitter with two singles and two RBIs. Dick Munday for the Ags and Alan Scott of the Gems each doubled. Lefty Toby Newton start ed on the mound for A&M, retir ing the first seven batters in a row before running into trouble in the third, yielding three hits and runs. Donnie Hullum took over the middle three innings, pitching hit less, runless ball and receiving fine support in certnerfield from Dickie Thomas. Munday, who pitched the last three innings and took credit for the loss, was a victim of some shoddy play on the part of the Aggies. Munday gave up three hits in the eighth as the Gems scored three runs. A&M took a 1-0 lead in the first after Cliff Tuttle had got on by error, stole second and scored on James Smotherman’s line single to right. With one out in the first of the third, Tony Frulio tapped out an infield hit and on an attempted pickoff advanced to second. New;- ton then walked Stan Horvatin, fol lowed by Leo Posada’s single off Lupe Fraga’s glove into center- field with Frulio scoring. Alan Scott then doubled down the left field line, scoring Posada and Horvatin. The Aggies scored again in the fourth after Gary Herrington walk ed, advanced on a passed ball, and was sacrificed to third by Fraga. Lyle Gibson’s sacrifice fly to cen ter scored Herrington. Trailing 3-2 in the seventh, the Aggies counted twice on two hits after Dick Munday started things off by doubling into deep left field. Wendell Reed gained first on Weather Hinders Fish Baseballers By DON BISETT “Wet weather, sore arms and lack of hustle keep the Fish from becoming the team that they are capable of becoming,” said Coach Les Palmer. “Right now all we can guarantee is to have nine men on the field.” No position is cinched as yet ex cept that of pitcher, we have only one of those, Percy Sanderson. To complete the battery is Gerald Walling, of Houston, who is the leading candidate for the catching chore, added Palmer. “The most improved ball player is Darrell Patterson who is play ing in the short-stop position now, but is also in line for the second- base slot if the other boys do not improve there,” says Palmer. Second-base is still wide open as none of the men there have learned to field the ball properly according to Coach Palmer. Bill Houchin and Sam DeGelia are the two most promising first-sackers that have shown up. Jim Turpin and J. W. Wood are battling for third sack with Wood holding the edge because of his base-running ability. Wood is the best runner on the squad. “In the outfield we have only two men who can even look like ball players, Joe Foster and J. B. Carrol,” said Palmer. “We are going to have to depend on the freshmen football players who have expressed a desire to play with us after spring training,” said the coach.
