Collpge Station, Texas Friday, April 13, 1962 ON ELEVEN HITS TCU Dampens Ag Hopes, Takes Surprise Win, 6-4 By LARRY SMITH Battalion Sports Editor A little air was let out of A&M’s hope balloon for the. Southwest Conference baseball championship yesterday on Kyle Field as a scrappy team of TCU Horned Froys batted past the Aprpries, 6-4. The Aggies ain? now 10-4 for the season and 4-2 in SWC play. TCU has an 8-6 season mark and stands 2-4 in the SWC. John Serben, the 6-4, 230-pound Frog right-hander, handcuffed the Aggies on eight hits as he went the nine-inning distance. His clutching was what really paid 1 off for the pitcher. The big inning for the Frogs came in the fourth when they scored four times on five hits and sent 10 men to the plate. Last year’s home run king, Leon Raze, priced the uprising with a solo line-drive homer over the right field fence. A&M’s Richard Beller was the victim of TCU’s rally and took the loss. He is now 4-2 for the season and 1-1 in SWC. Ed Sing- ley relieved Beller with two out in the fourth inning and went the remainder of the way, allowing five hits and one run. The Frogs blasted the two Ag gie pitchers for 11 hits altogether, three of them extra base hits. A&M managed eight hits off Ser ben, who registered his second win of the year against one loss. TCU jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the first frame on a double by David Terry and a single by Don Reynolds. The Aggies regained the lead and went ahead briefly in the sec ond as Coach Tom Chandler sent eight men to the plate. Dave Johnson started off the inning with a single, after Ray Hall grounded out. Bill Grochett singled and Beller, who grabbed two hits and one RBI, slammed a single to right scoring Johnson. Jack Singley fanned and Bill Hancock smashed a hot grounder through TCU’s first baseman and right fielder. On this double error Gro chett and Beller crossed the plate and Hancock wound up on third. As Beller rounded third, he fell flat on his face, but managed to get up and dent the plate. A&M tallied for a lone run in the third inning on a single b^ Hall, a walk to Grochett and a line single to left by Beller. The big fourth inning for the Frogs included Baze’s homer, three singles, two bases on balls and an error. Coach Frank Windegger’s men scored a lone run in the fifth on a walk, single and an error.
