Texas Tech slammed across two

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.
Tombs, the winning pitcher,
drove a single down the third base

Dave Allen was thrown out trying
to reach second and the side was
