of the series. The Aggies won
6-0 and 8-4 Friday, and they lost
8-3 Saturday. Five of SMU’s
eight runs were unearned.
Bruce Katt and Charlie Kelley
were the winning pitchers Friday
in Coach Tom Chandler’s unusual
twist of strategy. Chandler decid
ed on the starting pitchers ac
cording to SMU’s hurlers on the
theory that Katt, a left handed
batter, could hit a right hander,
and Kelley, who swings from the
other side, would be more effec
tive against a southpaw.
Not only did the two seniors
turn in fine pitching perform
ances, they proved Chandler’s rea
soning to be sound. Katt got two
hits in three times at bat, scoring
twice and driving in a run. Kel
ley connected for A&M’s first
home run of the season off a
left-handed relief pitcher.
In the first game, a hit bats
man, a wild pitch and a base hit
gave Katt an early lead in the
first inning. In the fourth, a
charity run added to the margin.
R. J. Englert hit a ground ball
to first baseman Reuben Triplett,
the all-conference basketball play
er. The ball glanced off Triplett’s
glove for a two-base error. Jim
Hacker, who later was hit by a
pitch and did not play the rest
of the weekend, popped up, but
Englert moved to third when no
one was covering the base. He
in the ninth after getting a base
hit and moving to second on
an error and to third on a field
er’s choice. Englert brought him
home with an infield single.
The Aggies didn’t slow up in
the second game, picking up two
runs in each of the first, third,
fourth and fifth innings. An er
ror, a base hit and a passed ball
put Ghutzman and Englert on
second and third, and a single up
the middle by Sandy Bate gave
the third baseman two of his five
runs batted in.

In the fifth, Jim Langford got
a base hit, moved to second on
an infield out, and scored on
Katt’s single to right. The pitcher
scored on Butch Ghutzman’s dou
ble, and a similar drive by Englert
brought him in. Katt scored again
Two innings later, Bate slam
med a double to left center to
bring in Jim Atterbury and Eng
lert, and a single the next inning
scored Atterbury again. Kelley
led off the fourth by hitting a
2-2 fast ball over the right-center
field fence.
Catcher Mike Frazier got his
first college hit in the sixth when
he duplicated Kelley’s feat, driv
ing a one-strike slider to the
same place his pitcher had. With
Langford on with a base hit at
the time, the homer ended A&M’s
scoring.
Saturday promised to be an
other good day when the 5-6
Langford poled a non-breaking
pitch over the left field fence
with Gene Reinarz and Carroll
Lilly on base. After that, SMU
pitcher Pete Stare would allow
only six Aggies to get on base,
as the Pony ace posted his third
victory of the year.
The Mustangs knocked starter
Jackie Binks out of the box in
the third with three runs on four
consecutive singles. SMU pushed
two more across in the fifth when
Bate’s error, a base hit and a
double steal set up a pair of runs
batted in on a hit to right by
Roy Burroughs.
Englert kept his batting streak
alive Saturday by hitting safely
in his twelfth consecutive game,
and the home run increased Lang
ford’s string to nine. Englert got
five hits over the weekend, with
Bate contributing four. Ghutz
man, Lilly and Langford had
three each. Big guns for SMU
were Astroth and Silverthom,
who had four hits each in 10
trips to the plate.
