Hiirlers Top Plate Averages For Cadets Even though they haven’t had too many hitting opportunities this season, A&M’s hurlers are leading the club in the batting average column. In the season total Mike Spence and Jerry Warren, both pitchers, are batting the ball at a .500 clip. Both men have played in only five games which makes consid erable difference from those who have played as many as nine dur ing the year. Stuffy Davis is the leading reg ular with 13 hits out of 32 trips to the plate to give him an aver age of .406. Dick Hickerson is close behind Davis with .394 on 14 hits in 33 hits at bat. Hickerson’s big num ber in the statistic column falls under RBI where he has brought in 12 big runs for the season. Respectable batting averages cover a wide spread on this year’s team as 12 men are hitting .200 or over. The team average stands at .260 while the opponents have mus tered enough hits to compile a .229 average. ■12^ ■ rife . Flag’!
