THE BATTALION
Streaking Aggies Clobber Southwestern Pirates Twice
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas A&M baseball team
scored in every inning but the
sixth here Wednesday to walk
away with a 16-1 win over South
western in the first game of a
doubleheader and then turned the
second game over to the reserves
who responded with a 5-3 win.
Coach Tom Chandler, who has
been unable to get a good look
at his relief pitching staff because
of the outstanding work of Doug
Rau, Dave Benesh and Bruce.
Katt, used the balance of his
nine-man staff in the twinbill.
Charlie Jenkins, Hardy Frazier
and Pat Jamison combined for a
three-hitter in the first game.
They retired the last 18 Pirate
batters in the game. Jenkins, who
went the first four innings, was
credited with the win.
Paul Czerwinski, Rocky Self
and Charles Kelley pitched the
nightcap and surrendered only

two hits but some below par field
ing by the Aggies sent the game
down to the wire.
A&M racked starter Ken Holley
and reliever Romie Maxey for 19
hits and 16 runs in the opener.
Seven of the eight regulars had
two hits and Billy Hodge was
the leader with four hits including
his fourth home run of the sea
son. The Aggie catcher knocked
in 4 runs tieing him with Boyd
Hadaway for the team RBI lead
with 16.
Dave Elmendorf started the
Ags first rally with a triple over
the leftfielder’s head with two
out in the first.
Hodge ripped a grounder to
shortstop Mark Hodgkins but
when he hesitated as to whether
to throw to home or first he
fumbled the ball and Elmendorf
scored.
Southwestern tied the game in
the second as Ken Sadler singled
to right and moved to third on
a long double to right center by
Larry Haynes with nobody out.
Jack Sharp drove the run
across with a sacrifice fly to
short leftfield.
Haynes with his double was
the last Pirate runner to reach
first safely in the seven inning
contest.
The Aggies took command for
good in the second scoring three
runs. Hadaway led off with a
walk and moved to third on a
single by Chris Sans.
One out later, Danny Ragland
drove in the first run with a
bunt and Jenkins used the same
avenue for an RBI after that.
R. J. Englert singled to right
to score Ragland but he was
picked off first and the rally
died.
Hodge slapped his home run
to initiate a two-run third.
Jim Raley drove in the second
marker with a double to right
center that scored Sans who had
singled.
A&M put it all together in the
fourth sending 13 men to the
plate and scoring 8 runs.
The blow that started the ball
rolling was a high pop fly in the
infield that was allowed to drop
about five feet from the pitchers
mound with one out by Butch
Ghutzman.
Given this break, the Aggies
countered with singles by Englert
and Elmendorf to load the bases
and set the stage for a three-run
double by Hodge.
The Pirates committed three
errors shortly thereafter to help
the Ags ring up their biggest
inning of the year.
Hodge continued his spree with
a single in the fifth and went to
third on a groundrule double by
Hadaway.
Sans knocked in Hadaway with
the final Aggie run with a sacri
fice fly.
Coach Chandler used only two
of his regulars in the second
game.
Jim Sampson who replaced
Sans at first provided the fire
works with a couple of towering
home runs in the fifth and sixth
innings that helped the Aggies
win, 5-3.
Southwestern scored the games
first run without a hit in the
second.
Haynes was hit by a pitch,
moved to third on a pair of A&M
errors and then scored on fielder
choice by Sharp.
A&M, which had been blanked
for three innings, tied the game
in the fourth as Ronnie LaGrone
knocked in a run with bases
loaded chopper to third that was
unplayable.
Sampson then provided the he
roics with a two-run homer to
center in the fifth and then after
