THE BATTALION
Aggies Split Pair With Cats
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie pitching staff
lost control Thursday afternoon
and in the process had their 13
game winning streak snapped as
they split a doubleheader with
the Houston Cougars on Kyle
Field.
The Aggies came from behind
with a 5 run fourth inning ex
plosion to unseat the Cougars
from a 4-1 lead and then won the
game in the 11th inning of the
secheduled 7 inning game with a
tally to win 7-6.
The Houstonians bounced back
to win the second game which
was limited to five innings by
darkness to smother the Aggies
with 6 runs in the first and five
in the second en route to an 11-0
win.

Relays Strong
At Drake Meet
The Texas Aggies are sched
uled to run in six relay races
today and tomorrow in the Drake
Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
The featured foursomes for the
Aggies, however, will be in the
440 and 880 relay units where, if
all signs are correct, even world
record times are not out of the
question.
Other relays which A&M will
participate in are the sprint med
ley (220, 220, 440, and 880), mile
relay, shuttle hurdles relay, and
the distance medley (440, 880,
1320, and mile).
Entries in the high jump are
so crowded that there will be two
divisions. Ben Greathouse has
been invited to compete in the
special high jump while Marvin
Taylor and John Taylor will com
pete in the regular high jump.
The 440 quartet of Scott Hen
dricks, Marvin Mills, Curtis
Mills and Rockie Woods already
has the fastest time in the nation
with a 39.7 clocking while the
880 unit is co-holder of the world
record 1:22.1 time in that event.

The Aggie pitching staff which
had allowed only 54 walks this
season in 192% innings allowed
12 in the twinbill, most of which
came at times in which the vis
itors made their move offensively.
Bruce Katt had an off day for
the Aggies starting the first
game and pitching to five batters
and leaving with no one out then
came back in the second game
and was charged with five more
runs in 1% frames.
Katt walked four men and hit
a batter and his control was miss
ing so badly he had to give the
Cougar hitters good pitches to
hit and they also rapped four
hits off him.
Back to back triples by Steve
Spretz and Richard Schwartz
highlighted the Cougars’ four run
first and when Katt hit Bill
McLain in the head with a pitch
Coach Tom Chandler went to his
bullpen and brought in Hardy
Frazier.
Frazier blanked the Cats the
next three innings but also had
his problems walking four and
Houston left five men on base
in the second and third innings.
A&M got their first run in the
third as Chris Sans extended his
hitting streak to 13 games with
a single and moved to second on
a grounder by Jim Raley. Danny
Ragland then singled to drive in
the run.
The Aggies knocked out starter
Steve Berghaiser with five runs
in the third with Jim Raley’s
second collegiate home run with
two men on the key blow.
R. J. Englert led off the inning
by walking and Dave Elmendorf
singled to move him to second.
Billy Hodge reached safely load
ing the bases with none out on an
error by the shortstop.
Sans’ sacrifice fly brought in
one run leaving runners at first
and third after Boyd Hadaway
drove in a run with a bases loaded
walk.
Raley’s cannon shot to left field
put A&M into the lead at 6-4.
Houston tied the game with two
runs in the sixth with Larry Mar
tin’s bases loaded double doing
the damage after Butch Ghutzman
probably save the game with a
spectacular catch going out to
center field with his back to the
infield.
Pat Jamison who relieved Rocky
Self in the seventh shut the
Cougars off the scoreboard the
rest of the way until Billy Hodge’s
single produced the winning run
in the 11th.
Paul Czerwinski started the
second game for the Aggies and
easily retired the first two bat
ters but the next seven Houston
batters reached base as he was
unable to get the ball in the
strike zone and he like Katt was
forced to throw up nice juicy
strikes to get the ball over.
The Aggies travel to Houston
Saturday for a doubleheader at
1:30 p.m.

WINNING RUN—Larry Smith slides home with the win
ning run in Thursday’s first game of a double header.

bombed 11-0 in the second. The second game was called
after 5 innings because of darkness. (Photo by Mike

Take Texas A&M baseball
coach Tom Chandler’s word for
it—Billy Hodge can do it all.
Or don’t take Chandler’s word.
Look at the statistics for A&M’s
junior catcher, a strong All-Amer
ica candidate: Batting average,
.384; leads team in runs scored
(17), total bases (50), runs bat
ted in (21), hits (28), doubles (6),
and triples (2), second in home
runs (4).
In 24 games, opposing base-
runners have stolen five bases.
Hodge has thrown out eight
others who tried. Pro scouts have
timed the 6-2, 190-pounder at
4.2 seconds going to first base.
When it comes to handling
pitchers, how about a 1.35 staff—
that’s right, s-t-a-f-f—earned run
average ?
That’s what Chandler means
when he says Hodge can do it all.
Hodge’s performance this season
has had a lot to do with the
Aggies currently riding a 12-
game winning streak and boast
ing a season record of 20 wins
against four losses. Two of those
losses were an opening day
doubleheader which means that
the Aggies have won 20 of their
last 22.
A&M has gone through 11
Southwest Conference games
without a loss with the next
action coming May 1-2 against
TCU.
The Aggie catcher has been the
key to A&M’s improvement over
a 15-11 record in 1969. Hodge,
whose father was an Aggie, is a
hometown boy born and raised in
nearby Bryan. He came to A&M
after winning district MVP hon
ors in football, basketball and
baseball. Billy turned down a
good offer from the Atlanta
Braves to accept an A&M scholar
ship.
Now Hodge has blossomed into
one of the top catchers in the
country and a good bet for SWC
Player of the Year. The only
honor that Hodge cares about
right now, though, is to be a
member of the SWC champions
. . . and to get a ticket to the
college world series in Omaha.
