Late Rally By Minnesota Nine Tops Aggies, 7-5
By GARY SHERER
The Texas Aggie baseballers
scored early while the Minnesota
Gopher nine scored late Wednes
day afternoon at Bryan’s Travis
Park. The result of these occur-
rances was a 7-5 win for the Min
nesotans.
Today, the same two teams
will complete their two-game
series at Travis Park. Game
time is 3 p.m., weather permit-
ing.
THE AGGIES jumped on Min
nesota pitcher Bob Fisher for
five quick runs in the first three
innings. While the Aggies were
scoring, Maroon and White start
er Dave Benesh was shutting out
the Gophers.

were the big blows for the Ag
gies. Leftfielder Bob Arnold’s
first inning clout scored by Boyd
Hadaway, while third baseman
Pete Maida connected in the third
inning with first sacker Larry
Stelley aboard.
The Aggies punched out six
hits in this span and it looked
like Coach Tom Chandler’s
charges were finally starting to
hit. Then, another drought set
in.
An eighth-inning single by
centerfielder Dave Elmendorf
was the only hit the Aggies could
come up with.
WHILE FISHER settled down,
his Gopher teammates started to
get to Benesh. Home runs spelled
Benesh’s fate as Minnesota’s bats
got to him for three round-trip
pers. A two-run blast by Min
nesota leftfielder Chris Farni in
the seventh sent Benesh to the
showers.
Farni’s clout tied the game at
5-5 and the Gophers got one more
run in the inning off reliefer
Doug Rau. Team captain Bob
Micheletti and centerfielder Greg
Wasick also connected for the
circuit.
Every Minnesota player col
lected at least one hit in the
Gophers’ 14-hit attack. Wasick
led the onslaught with three,
while Farni and shortstop Russ
Rolandson had two apiece.
THE GAME was played in
windy weather with the tempera
ture in the forties. Minnesota,

for several years, has run into
