Rau unanimous choice
4 Aggies named All-SWC in basebal
Four members of the Texas
A&M baseball team have been
chosen to the 12-man Associated
Press All-Southwest Conference
baseball team that was selected
by the league’s coaches.
Lefthander Doug Rau, catcher
Billy Hodge, first baseman Chris
Sans and leftfielder R. J. Englert
were picked to squad with Rau
being one of two unanimous se
lections.
Rau, a junior from Columbus,
had the kind of year that a pitch
er usually dreams about but sel
dom gets. The southpaw was hit
hard only once in 11 games and
that misfortune came largely be
cause of control problems.
He tossed seven complete
games while the rest of the Aggie
staffed totaled five. Rau gave up
only 39 hits and seven earned
runs in 73 innings. He recorded
82 strikeouts and walked only 20
while working on a 0.86 e.r.a.
and a 9-1 record. His e.r.a. reach
ed a low of 0.26 during the season.
“One of the best college pitch
ers to come along in several
years," was the way Coach Tom
Chandler described Rau. “He’s
able to set up hitters and get the
strikeout when he needs it,’’
Chandler said.
ler characterized All-SWC first
baseman Chris Sans who like
Hodge made a golden opportunity
out of his first year as a starter.
The sophomore from Houston
hit only .220 in 41 at bats last
year but hit .282 with three hom
ers and 18 runs batted in this
spring.
R. J. Englert, Aggie leftfielder,
didn’t start the season as a start
er but when given the chance
turned in a sterling performance
that may warrant him the SWC
batting crown when official
league statistics are released.
The sophomore from Big Spring
hit .400 driving in 10 runs. |
“Englert had a good year,"
Chandler said, adding that “He’s
really happy to have him back
for two more years.”
League champion Texas also
had four players selected includ
ing pitchers Burt Hooton and
James Street who were selected
as players of the year. Outfielder
Jack Miller and third baseman
David Chalk were also picked
with Chalk being the other unani
mous pick.
Baylor second baseman Skip
Bathrop and outfielder John
Dodgen were also named to the
team.
Texas Christian had two se
lections in outfielder Jeff New
man and shortstop Glenn Monroe.
Righthander Ruben Garcia of
Texas Tech was named Fresln
of the Year and Rice Coach Di
Osborn who guided the (his
third place behind the Ljngli#
and the Aggies was named ft
of the Year.
All four Aggie selections
return with at least one yes
eligibility and as Coach Chan
puts it, “I’m extremely pit

Chandler calls Hodge the best
catcher in the Southwest Confer

prove it, Chandler said.

man last year batting only .171
in 35 at bats but he hit .340

and hitting five home runs to
tie for the team lead with Boyd

you need it” was the way Chand-

mittee.
Butler and Ellis, the only sen
