PfiRe 6 College Station, Texas March 2?>, 10(51 THE BATTALION Late A&M Spurt Nips Gophers, By JOE CALLICOATTE A&M’s baseball team pulled one “out of their hat” yesterday aft ernoon as they beat the Minnesota Gophers 5-4 in the ninth inning. The big Aggie run came in the bottom of the ninth as a wild pitch by Clyde Nelson allowed third sacker John Burton to come home. Minnesota jumped to a 4-0 lead in the fifth inning when the Go phers grabbed a single, double Defeat Will Come Tough To Finalists By The Associated Press KANSAS CITY—Losing is go ing to be especially hard to take for any of the four semifinalists in the National Collegiate (NCAA) Basketball Championships at Mu nicipal Auditorium this weekend. But for Utah’s one-point loss to Colorado State U. in a Skyline Conference scramble two weeks ago, the four regional champions who battle for the national title Friday and Saturday would carry a combined 80-game winning streak. The nation’s longest and third longest unbeaten strings collide in Friday’s 7:30 p.m., CST, opener when top-ranked, defending cham pion Ohio State plays St. Joseph’s (Pa.). The Buckeyes (26-0) have won 31 in a row—haven’t lost since Feb. 19, 1960, when Indiana spilled Jerry Lucas & Co. in their next to last regular season game last season. St. Joseph’s, with a 24-4 record, has won 15 in a row since its last loss—87-75 to Xavier of Ohio early in January. Cincinnati (25-3), which faces Utah (23-6), at 9:30 p.m. Friday, has won 20 in a row—including an 89-53 rout of Xavier—since its last defeat Dec. 23 to Bradley, 72-53. Utah’s 50-49 loss to Colo rado State U. is its only blemish in its last 14 starts. That set back forced a playoff with CSU for the Skyline Conference’s NCAA Tournament berth, which the Utes won 55-51 after trailing by 11 points at one stage. Despite the revelations in New York of a’new basketball scandal, this town of steaks and sports eagerly was awaiting the arrivals of the competing teams. At the same time, the hotels were filling up with coaches, here for their three-day convention beginning Thursday. Utah Coach Jack Gardner scheduled a closed workout for Wednesday night at Rockhurst College only two hours after the club’s arrival from Salt Lake City. He said the Utes’ workout Thurs day at the auditorium would be open to visitors—the only con cession made so far by any of the four coaches! Ohio State, due in Wednesday night, and Cincinnati and St. Jo seph’s, scheduled to arrive today, will close their afternoon tune-ups to the press and public. and two walks off Aggie starter, Mike Spence. Calvin Rolloff started the inn ing with a base on balls and Rich ard Alford poked a hard hit ball into the outfield for a double that advanced Rolloff who was on first. Spence let Wayne Knapp have an intentional walk to load the bases. The final Minnesota score came when David Fritz hit a long ball into left-center field that looked like a triple, but was thrown out at third base. However, his hit allowed three more Gophers to cross the plate. The Aggies started a rally in the eighth but had it cut short after scoring two runs: Burton got a base on balls to start the inning and Byron Barber followed with a single. Ray Hall hit into a fielder’s choice, but the fielder didn’t make the right choice and all men were safe with Burton scoring. A&M’s second run came from a passed ball. The next three men werp retired on fly balls. A&M’s half of the ninth was the big one of the day as they capitalized on a wild pitch and an error. A couple of pinch-hitters start ed the inning with a pair of one baggers. Johnny Hudson, hitting' for second baseman Terry Cobb, got the first one with Stuffy Da vis sending him to second with a bunt down the third baseline. Burton slammed a single into right field and an error on the right fielder stretched the hit to a triple that brought Davis home. The Gophers had a conference at the mound and apparently decided BOX SCORE AB 4 4 4 3 3 3 4 RBI 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 0 Minnesota (4) Rolloff, ss Haefner, cf Alford, 2b Knapp, lb Fritz, rf Evans, 3b Carlson, If Wally, c 4 Nelson, p 4 Totals 33 A&M (5) AB J.

Bryan at Joe Faulk’s Big Discounts to All to give Barber a walk and set up a double play. The first ball pitched to Hall, the next batter, was a slow out sider, but it was much to high for the Minnesota catcher and Burton crossed the plate to end the game. For the third time this year Bob Collins was outstanding in relief work on the mound. Collins came intoj yesterday’s game during the sixth inning and gave up only four hits. He struck out six men to help make his record 3-0. Nelson went the full game for Minnesota, gave up seven hits and struck out six. Burton was the only Aggie who collected more than one hit as he rapped 3-5 while Alford paced the Gophers with 2-4 at the plate. The Aggies will play Minnesota again today and go to Dallas Sat urday for a conference game with Southern Methodist. John Burton, Aggie third sacker, puts the ball on Minnesota’s David Fritz in the fifth inning yesterday as Fritz tried to stretch a double into a triple. As the picture shows, Fritz was a little slow as A&M went on to win, 5-4, in the ninth inning.
