Charlie Kelley didn’t have the luck of the Irish with him St. Patrick’s Day, because in spite of his six-hit, no-walk, 11-strike out performance, the senior right hander suffered his third loss of the season to go with a pair of wins, TCU won 6-3 in extra in nings. In the second game of Friday’s twinbill, Bruce Katt gave up 10 hits in five innings, but his team mates’ errors made all seven of the runs he yielded unearned. The senior southpaw is 2-2 for the year. The Frogs won that one, 10-4. Jackie Binks, a sophomore left hander, went eight innings Satur day, striking out nine and walk ing six, while allowing four hits and two runs. Binks is 2-1, while the Aggies are now 9-6 for the year. In the first game Friday, Kel ley got off to something of a shaky start, allowing two hits in the first frame. He settled down after that, facing 23 batters in the next seven innings. There were two men he didn’t retire; one was hit by a pitch and the other, catcher Dana Carden, poked a home run over the right field fence in the second inning. At one stretch, Kelley mowed down 16 batters in a row. The Aggies, meanwhile, were in the process of getting six hits and leaving 14 runners stranded on base. They did push a run across in the fifth. Kelley got on on a base hit and was forced at second by Butch Ghutzman’s grounder to short. Ghutzman met the same fate as a result of Jim Atter- bury’s ground ball to second. Then, R. J. Englert got a base hit to left. A walk to Jim Hacker loaded the bases, and Atterbury scored on an error. A&M left the sacks when Carroll Lilly ground ed to second. The Frogs opened up for five tallies in the ninth after the score was tied 1-1 at the end of the regulation seven innings. Tom Butler got a hit up the middle, but Don Bodenhamer popped up trying to sacrifice him to second. Englert misplayed Jimmy Torres’ drive to right-center, and the triple scored one. Pat Carden, Dana’s twin broth er, was awarded first base on catcher’s interference to put run ners on first and third. Mike Turner hit a grounder to third, but Hacker's throw to the plate was late. Dub Adcock grounded out third to first for the second out, but Dana Carden came back to do more damage. The catcher got a clean base hit to center, but Englert at tempted to scoop the ball up with his throwing hand. The center fielder missed the ball, though, and it rolled all the way to the fence while Carden was circling the bases. The Aggies scored twice in the ninth, but with the bases loaded and none out, Karl Bystrom, Mike Schraeder and Sandy Bate struck out to end A&M's hopes for a gutty victory. The listless play continued in the nightcap, with Katt being the next victim of errors and lack of hitting. TCU waited until the fourth inning before getting a run, but then it was four of them on four hits and three errors. The next time up, the Frogs dented the plate three times, using four hits and still another fielding miscue by the Aggies. The damage wasn’t restricted to Katt, as Bobby Wittkamp gave up three runs on two hits and a pair of walks. A&M scored in the fifth on a single by Jimmy Langford and an error by the TCU right fielder. With two outs, pinch hitter Gene Reinarz hit a single to right to bring Langford in. Three more runs in the seventh weren’t enough, as the Aggies capitalized on two hits, an error and two walks. Binks got better support Satur day, and the Aggies upped their conference mark to 1-2. Both teams got on the board in the first inning, with Reinarz coming in on Hacker’s double after being walked by Grace. The Frogs drew blanks until the ninth, when Binks tired. Charlie Jenkins pitched to one hitter before Katt came in to put out the fire. Two runs scored in the process, but the rally was not sufficient to offset the three- run eighth inning the Aggies en joyed. Ghutzman walked and was sac rificed to second by Reinarz. Eng lert got a base hit to right to bring Ghutzman in before Hacker grounded out. Atterbury’s single scored Englert, and a passed ball and a throwing error on the catcher moved the Aggie left fielder to third. Schraeder walked, and he and Atterbury pulled off a delayed double steal. Schraeder tried for second, but the throw was cut off in an attempt to stop Atter bury from scoring. The toss to the plate was late, and Schraeder moved to third on the peg. Top hitter in the series for A&M was Englert, who pounded out six hits in 11 times at bat. Langford came through with five base raps in 10 trips to the plate, while Atterbury contributed three hits in five times up.
