Baseballers Take Two From Houston!)
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas A&M baseball team
which had their 13-game win
streak stopped by Houston Thurs
day ended a one-game losing skid
with a doubleheader sweep of the
Cougars Saturday in Houston.
Doug Rau won his eighth game
of the year without a loss as
A&M scored 6 runs in the sixth
to win 6-3 and Charles Kelley
hurled three scoreless innings of
relief in the second game as he
bailed out Charlie Jenkins and
winning pitcher Dave Benesh.
Rau who carried a 0.33 era
into the contest allowed 3 unearn
ed runs in the game and his
earned run average lowered to
0.29 for 61 innings of work.
Butch Ghutzman, who started
both rallies the Aggies managed
in the game, led off with a walk
off Mike Gilbert. He stole second
and then scored on a single with
two by Billy Hodge.
Gilbert then retired the next
14 men in a row before Ghutzman
singled with one out in the sixth.
Rau blanked the Cougars until
the fifth when Bill McLain
singled for the only hit of the
three-run spurt.
Don Hill walked and Mike
Clarked stepped up to sacrifice.
Third baseman Charlie Jenkins’
throw to first was in the dirt
and went into right field allowing
McLain and Hill to score and
Clark moved around to third.
Jim Barger’s sacrifice fly
scored Clark with the third run.
Ghutzman single to start the
Aggies winning rally and R. J.
Englert’s triple scored Ghutzman
and put the tieing run on third
with one out.
Dave Elmendorf walked and
stole second but the picture dark
ened as Hodge struck out.
Boyd Hadaway doubled to deep
right center, however, and the
Ags were in the lead for good,
4-3.

Jim Sampson followed with an
opposite field home run to left
to put the visitors up by three,
their final margin.
The Cougars scored opce in the
first inning of the second game
and with a little luck could have
scored more.
Eddie Henderson slapped Dave
Benesh’s first pitch off the left
field fence but he was thrown
out trying to stretch it to a triple.
Steve Spretz flied deep to Eng-
lert for the second out but con
secutive singles by Richard
Schwartz, Rusty Clark and Mc
Lain produced a run.
A&M put together six of their
14 hits in the second inning to
tally three runs off the Cougars’
Johnny Hatcher.
A titan home run by Billy
Hodge, his fifth of the season,
was the opening blow and Hada
way and Sampson followed with
singles. They moved to second and
third on a grounder by Jim Raley
and Hadaway scored on a single
by Benesh and Sampson crossed
the plate on a base hit by Ghutz
man.
Rusty Clark cut the Aggies’
lead to one with a home run to
left in the third.
The Aggies increased their lead
with two runs in the fifth and
scored their last run in the sixth.
Larry Aubin, who relieved
Hatcher in the fifth, was greeted
by Hadaway and Sampson who
singled. Sampson’s was a tap in
front of the plate which Aubin
injured himself on and on the
next play a sacrifice bunt by
Raley, Aubin collapsed as he re
injured a pulled muscle in his
leg.
Jim Ripple came in to pitch
and Danny Ragland poked a sac
rifice fly to deep center to score
Hadaway and then Benesh
doubled to score Sampson.
Englert doubled to center to
start the sixth and moved to
third on a single by Elmendorf
who was tagged out at second
trying to stretch it to a double.
David Van Houten walked and
Sampson drove in the run with
a deep fly to left that the left
fielder dropped after almost mak
ing a spectacular catch.
Charlie Jenkins relieved Ben
esh, who allowed Houston 5 hits
in six innings and only two after
the first, to start the seventh.
Mike Brewer, who came on to
pitch in the top of the seventh
for the Cougars, singled to right
and then Henderson walked.

Chandler’s teams have won 200 games and lost only 108 in

Thursday against Houston. Raley’s three-run blast helped the Park (2
Aggies extend their winning streak to 13 games in a row.
Raley’s first collegiate homer came as a sophomore
when the Aggies were playing Texas Tech in Lubbock.
Aided by a 56-mite an hour breeze, Raley recalled that
the clout started out as a Texas League fly to short right and
he didn’t even think about it going out until Dave Benesh,
first base coach, told him the ball had gone over the fence.

Who says pitchers can’t hit? Senior righthander Dave
Benesh, who carried a terrifying one hit in 17 at bats average
into the Houston series Saturday, would have trouble
convincing the Houston Cougars that they can’t.
Benesh, slammed a double and single and drew a walk in
three trips to the plate white driving in two runs.
Last year, in a similar situation, he had only four hits in
19 trips to the plate but hit two home runs in his only two
times at the plate against the Cougars in Houston.
