Aggie Nine Tops Missouri
Behind Varvel Five-Hitter
By GARY SHERER
Walter Varvel’s five-hit pitch
ing led the Aggie baseballers to
an 8-2 victory over the Missouri
Tigers Thursday afternoon in the
second game of a doubleheader.
The first game ended in a 6-6
tie at the end of nine innings.
Yarvel, who played his high
school ball at A&M Consolidated,
was the master throughout the
seven inning game. The sopho
more chucker struck out three
while only walking one, in rack
ing up the first complete game
by an Aggie pitcher this season.
Chuck Malitz provided most of
the offense for the Aggie nine
with four runs-batted-in, three of
them coming on his bases-loaded
double in the second inning. In
that inning, the Aggies plated
five runs as they jumped out to
a 5-0 lead.
The Aggies scored three more
in the fourth to complete their
scoring for the day. Catcher Jim
Conlee who started his first game
for the Aggies in the nightcap,
led off the fourth inning with a
single. Varvel who kept his .1000
batting average intact with a two
for two game, singled to move
Conlee to second. Both runners
came home on Mike Arrington’s
single and two errors by the Mis
souri fielders.
Arrington scored the Aggies
eighth run on an infield out.
THE WIN GIVES Varvel a 2-1
record for the young season and
also gives Coach Tom Chandler
brighter thoughts about his pitch
ing, as Varvel retired the last 10
out of 11 men.
The first game also was sched
uled to go seven innings, but the
Aggies tied the game up in the
seventh and forced it into extra
innings.
Chandler and Missouri Coach
John Simmons agreed to one
more inning when things hadn’t
changed after the completion of
the eighth inning.
Bob Arnold started the game
for the Aggies and the sopho
more from El Paso was given a
four-run lead in the second in
ning.
BOB LONG led off the second
with a double. After a single by
Pete Maida, Long scored on a sin
gle to left by Malitz. Maida who
went to third, scored when the
throw from the outfield got by
the third baseman. Malitz ended
up at third after the dust cleared.
The Aggies then worked a dou
ble steal as Richard Backest, who
had walked, took off for second
base and Malitz galloped home
when the Missouri catcher tried
to catch Backest. Arrington then
brought Backest home with a sin
gle.
Missouri went ahead in the
third and fourth innings as they
Read Battalion Classifieds
scored five runs on just one hit
in the two innings. In the third,
Arnold hit two batters, with the
second hit batsman coming with
the bases loaded. Two more Ti
gers came home when centerfield-
er Del Blunk brought them in
with a single.
The Tigers scored two in the
fourth on two walks and two Ag
gie errors that gave them a 5-4
lead.
IN THE SEVENTH, with Mis
souri ahead 6-4, Pat Rozypal led
off with a walk. Tommy Chiles
came in to run for Rozypal and
was moved around to third on
two infield outs. Maida brought
in the tying run with a long dou
ble to left-center and the game
went into extra innings.
The Aggies threatened in the
two extra innings, but could not
score. The two coaches decided
to call the game so the second
contest could get underway. The
main reason for the decision was
that the Missouri team had to
make a plane to New Orleans for
the next game on their travel
schedule.
The second-game win makes
the Aggies 7-5 on the season,
while Missouri is now 2-3.
Baylor’s baseballers will be the
competition at Travis Park Sat
urday afternoon. The game is
scheduled for 2 p.m., with work
horse Rocky Thompson probably
getting the starting call for the
Maroon and White.
