Pag<e 6 College Station, Texas Tuesday, March 7, 1967 THE BATTALICDN Ag Nine Wins Third By GARY SHERER The Aggie varsity baseball team sports a 3-0 record as a re sult of their 9-3 triumph over the Trinity U. Tigers Monday after noon at Travis Park. Monday’s victory follows two other victories, over St. Mary’s of San Antonio, 8-2, and their opening game win over St. Ed ward’s of Austin, 18-5. Led by the hitting of leftfielder Pete Maida, sophomore from Beaumont, the Aggies had the lead all the way in its victory over Trinity. Maida had three hits in five at-bats, the big blow being a three-run homer in the third inn ing. The 6-0 outfielder finished the day with four runs-batted-in. The Aggies wasted no time get ting the lead when, after Aggie starting pitcher Bob Arnold had set the Tigers down in order in the top of the first, the Maroon and White struck for four runs. Nine men went to bat in the Aggie half of the first inning and a combination of three walks, two hits, a hit-batsman, a passed ball and a wild pitch led to the Aggie tallies. With the score 4-1 for the Ag gies in the third inning, Maida personally made it 7-1 with his round-tripper. Trinity tried to make it close in the seventh inning, when Tiger relief pitcher hit a two-run home run off of winning pitcher Bob Sanders. Sanders got the next two men out, but the next two batters singled and there were men at first and third. Sanders bore down and struck out the Trinity pinch-hitter to stop the rally. Sanders, junior from Houston, got credit for his second win of the season as Trinity’s Craig Cook took the loss. The Aggie attack sported nine hits, nine runs and two errors. Trinity garnered seven hits to go with its three runs and were guilty of two miscues. Monday’s weather was not as nice as for the first two games this season. There were several stung hands for both teams with the temperature hovering in the high 40’s. Friday afternoon at Travis Park, the weather was nice and the Aggies whipped St. Mary’s of San Antonio, 8-2. The Aggies pounded out 14 hits with the heavy-duty hitting com ing from Maida, Lou Camilli and Joe Staples. The hitting wasn’t the only bright spot as Walter Varvel, Tommy Patrick and Johnny Walker combined to limit the St. Mary’s stickers to just three hits. Using a pair of two-run innings (first and eighth) and a four tally fourth, the Maroon and White pulled away from the Rat tlers. Varvel, who received credit for the win, helped his own cause as he chipped in two hits in his two times at bat. The Aggies are in action again today, hosting Houston Baptist in a 3 p.m. encounter at Travis Park. Staples is the leading hitter after three games as the junior from Houston has six safeties in 10 at-bats for a .600 mark. Shortstop Mike Arrington is close behind with a .538 average on seven of 13. Maida and Camilli rank three and four with .461 and .385 aver ages respectively. Sanders is now 2-0 with Varvel picking up the other win at 1-0. Sanders has whiffed twelve while walking just two.
