It used to rain here everyday
but the only things falling Tues
day on Kyle Field were Aggie
home runs as the Baylor Bears
felt the full impact of an A&M
hitting attack and took and 11-2
pasting behind four A&M homers.
The win gave the Aggies a
brief lead in the Southwest Con
ference over the Texas Longhorns
with a 6-0 mark while the Steers
were caught idle with their 5-0
record and fell % game behind.
Boyd Hadaway flexed his mus
cles more than the other Aggie
hitters by connecting for two
homeruns and collected five of
the runs-batted-in. Catcher Billy
Hodge added another solo blast
and Chris Sans socked the other,
also a single tag.
Doug Rau picked up his fifth
win against no losses even though
he was not particularly sharp and
did not go the complete way but
received help from Dave Benesh
after seven innings. He gave up
five hits, walked two, and chalked
up seven strike outs, below his
season’s average.
Things started off just the op
posite of what they would end
up to be as Baylor’s John Dodgen
tagged Rau for a triple in the
first inning. But his Bear team
mates left him stranded and the
Aggie big guns went to work.
Hodge started the show with
his two-run blast by scoring Dave
Elmendorf ahead of him after
R. J. Englert skipped home on
a Bruin error. The Bears fought

Ellis defeated George Machock

Kite 3 and 2.
Overturf defeated Duke But
ler, of A&M 1-up and William
Cromwell edged Tommy Johnson
4 and 3.
Ellis and Veriato won their
combined doubles point over
Machock and Kite while Over
turf, who finished second in the
SWC individual golf champion
ship last year and Cromwell won
their doubles point over Butler
and Johnson.
The two teams are again hav
ing a tight race for the crown
which the Aggies won a year
ago by 2% matches.
The Longhorns have had one
more match and have a 12%-5%

the Aggies’ pitching staff in 34
consecutive innings as Jerry
Smith walked, went to second on
a ground out and came across on
Skip Bathrop’s single. It was the
first run scored against A&M
since the third inning of the
Missouri game.
In the third, Hadaway connect
ed for his first homer, a high
shot over the center field wall,
and sent Elmendorf ahead of him
to give A&M an 5-1 lead. Englert
kept A&M rolling in the fourth
as he blooped his first of two
hits into right field driving in
Danny Ragland with the sixth
run. Elmendorf then beat out a
infield shot over third and sent
Englert to third. Hodge then
singled up the middle to send
Englert home. Both moved to
second and third respectively af
ter the throw to the plate that
failed to get Englert.
But up stepped Hadaway again
and settled the issue by teeing
off with his second no-doubt shot
over the right field fence to put
A&M up 10-1. This meant the
end for Bear chunker Rick Dusek,
who took over for starter and
loser Bill Duncan in the first in-
ning. But Sans greeted reliever
Jim Sanders rudely by socking
his third pitch over the 370-ft.
mark in right center to make the
score 11-1. The Bruins tacked on
another tally in the eighth on
Ronnie LaGrone’s error but Ben
esh stopped them in the ninth.
