Texas Tech slammed across two unearned runs in the ninth inning to overcome a one run Aggie lead and win the non-conference tilt 3-2 yesterday afternoon in Kyle Field. Cadet pitching was superb, with Ag starter Toby Newton fanning 17 men and allowing one lone hit in seven innings of pitched ball. The lefthanded moundsman issued only four walks during his tour of duty on the diamond. During these first seven innings the Farmers battered Tech pitcher Bill Tombs for six hits and two runs. The second inning was the Ag gies big frame with the quick start ing Farmers pushing two runs across the plate. The inning start ed with first baseman Bo Paradow- ski beating out a slow grounder to the Tech third baseman. A double off the center field fence by Ralph P1 u m 1 e e , sophomore shortstop, moved Paradowski to third. Second baseman Dink Patterson stepped into the batters box and popped a slow grounder to the Raider shortstop, who scooped the ball up and fired it into the dirt past the first baseman, scoring Paradowski and Plumlee on the error. The Red Raiders drew Aggie blood in the top of the eighth in ning after Percy Sanderson came in to relieve the tiring Newton. Sanderson struck out the first two men he faced. Tech cent’erfielder Gehrig Gar rison then strode up to the plate and slashed a fast ball over the left field fence for a homerun. Sanderson retired the side by strik ing out the fourth hitter. The Ags led 2-1 in the top of the ninth inning, but errors cost them their chance for victory. Dave Bourland smashed a hot grounder to Sanderson, who bob- bled the ball and let the tying run on first. A weak grounder by Da vid Potter resulted in an error, scoring Bourland and tying the game up at two all. Potter advanc ed to second.

Sanderson, the losing pitcher, had pitched two full innings of ball, struck out three, walked none and given up two hits.
