Two big fourths
The deeper

and Ags roll on

The Texas Aggie baseball
team took advantage of two
streaks of wildness by Universi
ty of Minnesota pitchers here
Wednesday afternoon or two
come-from-behind wins, giving
the Aggies 10 consecutive wins
and a 14-1 season record.
The Aggies and Gophers meet
twice more today, then the Ags
will journey to Houston for a
three-game Southwest Confer
ence series with Rice.
Wednesday the Aggies broke
loose for four runs in the bot
tom of the fourth inning of the
opener for a 4-3 win and then
tallied five times in the fourth
of the second game in a 7-4 win.
Both rallies were sparked by
wildness as Steve Chapman
walked four straight batters in
the opener and then Bruce Eric-
son put the Ags in motion in the
second game by walking with the
bases full.
Chapman walked four batters
with one out in the fourth after
entering the inning with a 3-0
lead, which he had helped get
with a second-inning home run
after Minnesota scored twice in
the first.
Following the four walks, the
final one to Butch Ghutzman
that forced in the first run, R. J.
Englert punched a sharp single
to right that scored two runs to
tie it. Then Sandy Bates—moved
up from the junior varsity to
give extra hitting from the right-
side of the plate — singled in
the fourth run that stood up for
the win.
Charlie Jenkins worked the
first four innings for A&M, and
was touched for all the Minne
sota runs. Jackie Binks worked
one frame and Jat Jamison two
to preserve the opening-game
win.
The Aggies were stymied by
Ericson until the fourth when
he issued walks to Chris Sans,
Denny Beall and Jim Hacker be
fore retiring catcher Terry Over-
ton on strikes. Then pinch-hitter
Jim Atterbury smashed a sin
gle to right scoring the tying
runs and Ghutzman put the Ag
gies up by two with a solid
triple that went just fair down
the left field line all the way to
the fence. Englert drove home
the fifth run with another single.
Jim Wallace was the winner
in the second game, settling
down in the final two innings
in Good

after struggling through the
first half of his four-inning stint.
Sam Camili pitched the fifth and
then Charlie Kelley impressively
silenced the Gophers in the final
two.
The Aggies continued to be
snakebitten with injuries as
catcher Billy Hodge suffered a
split finger when hit by a foul
tip in the first game and second
baseman Carroll Lilly was tak
en out of the second game after
being hit in the head by a throw
from the Gopher second baseman
as he tried to throw Lilly out.
Neither injury was believed to
be serious enough to cause them
to miss the Rice series this
weekend, although Hodge will
not play in today’s doubleheader.
Netters dominate
Sooners easily
The A&M tennis team totally
overwhelmed Oklahoma Wednes
day sweeping all the singles, and
winning the match, 8-1.
Among the six singles matches,
there was only one ending in
split sets, as the Aggies clinched
victory before the doubles" be
gan.
Success came all the way
down the line, starting with Jon
Ragland’s win over Daryl Hess
in sets of 6-4 each. Then, Dickie
Fikes beat Barr Baynton, 6-4, 6-
2. Mike Hickey kept it going
with a 6-2, 6-3 domination of his
match with Jack Hughes.
Tommy Connell dropped the
first set to Dick Theimes, 2-6,
but he came back to take the
next two, 6-4, 6-3. Dan Cour-
son won over Dale Quigley, 6-2,
6-1, and Mike Mills finished off
the rousing start with a 6-1, 6-2
win over Tim Headington.
Oklahoma got its only point on
a 6-4, 6-3 doubles victory, as Hess
and Baynton downed Fikes and
Hickey in the first match. Rag
land and Connell came back with
a 6-2, 6-1 decision over Theimes
and Quigley, and then Courson
and David Chastain finished off
the day with an 8-6, 6-4 match
over Hughes and Headington.
The Aggies meet LSU today
on the A&M courts, with the
match starting at 1:30 p.m.
Damp weather
doesn’t slow Ags
Despite cool, damp weather, the
Texas Aggies romped through
another spirited workout Wed
nesday in their second day of
spring football practice.
Coach Gene Stallings did not
single out any individuals for
special praise.
The key quarterback position
was handled by three players in
maroon jerseys Wednesday. They
were Joe Mac King, top reserve
of last year; Kyle Gary, a varsity
squadman and Mark Green, a
talented freshman.
The long, booming kicks off the
toe of Mitch Robertson indicated
that the Aggies will continue
their string of outstanding punt-
The Texas Aggies have a 3-0 record in Southwest Conference
baseball and good depth is proving to be a major factor in their bid to
stay on top of the race.
As it stands now, Texas Christian and Baylor are second with 2-1
records and the two square off in a three-game series this weekend in
Fort Worth. The Frogs will travel to Austin next weekend to play the
University of Texas, and the Longhorns are in the process of trying to
replace six graduated starters. So far they’ve managed a 3-3 record.
In their three straight conference wins, a good bench has been
evident since the Aggies have suffered the loss of centerfielder Dave
Elmendorf.
When Elmendorf was injured Larry Smith was called on to move
into the outfield and has responded with key hits in at least three of the
five games since then.
Smith moved into a starting post in left field, with R. J. Englert
taking over centerfield and Jim Sampson in right.
When Smith went to the regular post the main thing it did was
take away the Aggies depth in pinch hitters.
But on Friday Jim Atterbury went in as a late inning replacement
and got two clutch hits.
Then in the Wednesday doubleheader with Minnesota, the Aggies
lost catcher Billy Hodge and second baseman Carroll Lilly to freak
accidents and Atterbury, freshman from Corpus Christ!, came in to
crash a pinch-hit single that knocked in two runs that tied a game the
Aggies eventually won 7-4.
On Saturday it was Gene Reinarz, a sophomore squadman from
New Braunfels who took the spotlight. Reinarz smashed out two hits
including the winning triple in the game with SMU, although not
entering the game until the seventh inning as a defensive replacement.
Freshman Jimmy Hacker has taken over at third base and also is
looking more impressive with the bat game by game. When the season
started Hacker and Jimmy Langford were switching out with Butch
Ghutzman between short and third and now Hacker is at third and has
a batting average around .300 to show.
Wednesday, Coach Chandler went hunting for some more right
hand hitting help while Elmendorf is out with the eye injury, realizing
that his regular lineup could include as many as seven of nine players
hitting from the left side, not a good idea when the opposing pitcher
throws lefthanded.
He found Sandy Bate, a freshman from Lufkin on the junior
varsity, gave him a look at left field in the opener with a lefthander on
the mound. Bate delivered with two hits, drove in what proved to be
the winning run, handled four outfield putouts and threw out a runner
trying to stretch a single into a double.
But without th6 contributions of the Aggie veterans the play of
the youngsters probably wouldn’t have helped the Aggies enough to
have a 14-1 record for the season.
Billy Hodge has been tremendous in the clutch and first baseman
Chris Sans has played well especially in the clutch and Sans has to be
the best fielding firstbaseman in the league.
Ghutzman has been a great leadoff batter, getting on base with
the clutch hit or the big walk. Ghutzman has drawn three walks that
drove in runs this year and also has a better than .300 batting mark.
Lilly, at second, is hitting over .400 and hit in the team’s first 11
games. Along with Ghutzman it gives the Aggies an outstanding
doubleplay combination.
Jim Sampson is the most powerful threat on the team and
Wednesday’s three-hit, two-RBI performance is indicative of what he
can do.
Then there’s R. J. Englert in center. With Elmendorf out of the
lineup, Englert has stabilized the outfield, with his good defensive play
and a .340 stick average.
With that kind of play in the meat of the order and help backing
it up the Aggies can be well on their way to one great season.
The afternoon temperature
dipped down to nearly 50 de
grees and a slight drizzle com
menced before the Aggies fin
ished their workout.
