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.
