Aggieland Recreation Center Redmond Tenrace Center College Station, Texas “Where the girls play” By GARY SHERER Texas Tech came up with three go-ahead runs in the sixth inning and went on to defeat the Aggies 6-4 at Travis Park Tuesday afternoon. Just as Monday night’s game between the two teams ran over three hours, this game also topped the three-hour mark. The loss gives the Maroon and White a 9-6 record, while Tech is now 4-10. The game did not count in the Southwest Confer ence because Tech does not com pete in SWC baseball. Aggie starter Walter Varvel was staked to a 4-2 lead in the first three innings and it looked like enough for the former A&M Consolidated hurler. Aggie Coach Tom Chandler felt differently and brought Tommy Patrick in to pitch the fateful sixth. Patrick was greeted with a double by Tech centerfielder Eldon Frost. Frost was plated immediately on a single by second baseman Bobby Kuehle. Two singles and three walks came after the back-to-back hits and the Red Raiders had three runs to go ahead for good. The Aggie defense let down in this game as they were charged with five errors. The defense, however, saved the Aggies in Tech’s big inning. Two heads-up plays by Aggie fielders cut down Tech runners trying to go for extra bases in the sixth inning. Up to the sixth inning Varvel had been effective, but had been the victim of poor fielding by his teammates and Tech had shaved the Aggie lead to 4-3 with two unearned runs. The other Tech run came on a second- inning homer by Tech shortstop John McIntyre. The Aggies had wasted no time in scoring their first run. They scored three unearned runs in the first inning as Tech first base- man Don Champion booted a two- out, bases loaded ground ball and let one run in. Pete Maida fol lowed this action with a single and two more Aggie runners scored. In the second inning the Aggies scored their final run of the day with back-to-back singles by Mike Arrington and Chuck Malitz and an infield out which plated Arrington. Tech pitcher David Callerman then settled down and held the Aggies to just two hits and two walks the rest of the game. With Callerman in control, the Aggies could not get anything started and went down to their fourth home loss. game and mound. finished up on the Patrick took the loss for the Aggies, evening his record at 1-1. First baseman Pat Rozypal, who did not start at first base for the Aggies, became a pitcher in this Rozypal pitched the last three innings and walked only two and held Tech hitless and scoreless.
