Aggies Wallop Minnesota, 9-0; But Lose Second Contest, 3-1 A&M smacked Minnesota, 9-0, in the first game of a double-head er yesterday, but lost the second contest, 3-1, on Kyle Field. Ed Singley, the smooth-working right hander from Oklahoma City, and reliever Johnny Crain hand cuffed the Gophers in the open er, allowing them just five hits. While those two were puzzling the Gophers, the Aggies played with pitcher Ray Deeg for six runs in the third inning, two more in the fourth and one in the six th. The Aggies erupted in their big third when Deeg gave up a three- run homer to first baseman John Burton. They got just three hits but were aided by four Gopher walks, an error, a wild pitch and a passed ball. Shortstop David Johnson helped out in the next frame when he doubled deep to the fence in right, scoring two runners. After that it was only a ques- [tion of what the final outcome I would be. I A near tragedy occurred in the Isecond inning when two Minnesota Iplayers collided chasing a pop fly I in front of home plate. Bill Davis, charging in from first base, banged his shoulder in to the head of Don Evans, the Gopher captain and third base- man. Davis lay sprawled on the in field grass for a full five minutes and Evans had to seek help of a trainer, but both players finished out the contest. “Man, I’m glad this is my last time down here,” joked Evans after the game. “I must be jinked. Last year I fell down in the dug- out at Houston and darn near broke my arm,” Singley received credit for the win, his first of the year and Crain, who is a sophomore, amazed the Gophers with his speed. Press box observers, disappoint ed with Minnesota’s performance, were wondering if the Gophers had lucked out in their two- game series with Texas. They found out in the second game. Art Johnson, a husky right hand er from St. Paul, breezed his fast ball past the Aggie hitters for nearly six innings before Burton uncorked his second four bagger of the afternoon. Burton’s blast tied the score, 1-1, goin into the top half of the seven th inning. It was the only hit the Aggies were to get off Dick Siebert’s talented right hander. Mike Mulligan led off the Go pher seventh with a broken-bat single that squirted betweeen short and third base.

Gophers 9 Hurler— I Didn’t Know It CLINT SANBORN Minnesota Daily The kid wore a smile as bright as the sunny Texas sky. “Gee, I didn’t know I had a no-hitter going.” said Art Johnson, a handsome sophomore from St. Paul Murray. “All I know is that I sure served a lemon up to John Burton. I gave him a changeup aqd he kissed it good-bye.” Johnson was talking about the home run ball which spoiled his no-hit bid against Texas A&M yes terday. Minnesota beat the Aggies, 3-1, after being whipped, 9-0, in the first game of a doubleheader. “The ball barely cleared the fence,” said Dick Southard, Gopher right fielder, “a couple of feet shorter and it wouldn’t have been out of the park.” Coach Dick Siebert was pleased with the showing of his young right hander. “Johnson hurt his elbow during the game and had to rely on his fastball and changeup. He did a fine job of mixing them up.” Jon Andersen, whose double in the top of the seventh inning- drove in the winning run in the second game, did not know what kind of pitch he hit. “I just saw it coming, swung and took off. Yes, I knew it was a hit the minute it left the bat. Man, that felt good. We kind of got back for what they did to us in the first game.” Siebert had praise for Johnson, but he also had a good word for the pitchers Texas A&M threw at his Gophers. “They were the best we’ve seen down here.” Captain Don Evans thought that Johnny Crain, who relieved Ed Singley in the Aggies’ 9-0 victory, was their best pitcher. “Singley was good enough, but that Crain had a lot of smoke. He really fired them in at you.” THE BATTALION Thursday, March 22, 1962 College Station, Texas Page 5 Fish Basehallers Blast Allen 16-3, In Season Opener Dwain Stewart got the freshman baseball season off to a booming start yesterday as he hit a three run homer in the fifth inning of the Aggie freshman’s 16-3 vic tory over Allen Military Academy. Coach Byron Barber tried al most everyone on his squad in the lengthy contest. He said he was pleased with the team’s first showing but added, “We need a lot more work.” Barber said the hitting looked good. And, “I hope it continues,” he pointed out. Nearly all of the starters manag ed to put some good wood on the ball. Allen used three pitchers in the game. Tjje big guns for the Fish were Stewart, who clobbered the above mentioned homer out of right center field, and Tom Jones. Stewart went three for six and Jones had three for five times at the plate. Pitcher Mike Golasinski punched out a run-scoring double in the sixth. Barber commended the three pitchers he tried, saying each did a good job. Hard-throwing Hal German started the game for the Fish and went four innings. Gola sinski worked for the next three. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motojr Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars” 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 ^ Sait with tto Great Vaw - GROCERIES - Swans Down Angel Food Mix 39c Libhys—12-Oz.
