THE BATTALI
Baseball star R, J. Englert thinks Aggies have a chance
By RICHARD M. BURATTI
A&M's All-America baseball
candidate, R. J. Englert, believes
the Aggies still have a good shot
at the Southwest Conference
baseball crown.
Englert, a senior majoring in
finance, thmks the standings will
look quite different after this
coming weekend.
Friday and Saturday Texas
and Texas Christian play a cru
cial three-game series. Front
running TCU has a one-game
lead in the SWC race.
“I think there may be a three-
way tie after their series," said
Englert, A&M’s center fielder,
“because Texas somehow seems
to win the big games."
This means A&M, Texas and
TCU could be in this three-way
tie. Of course, A&M would have
to sweep its three-game series
with the Rice Owls this weekend.
The Aggies haven't been play
ing up to their potential so far.
but things are beginning to pick
up.
“We've got the pitching and a
good defense, but we haven’t
been hitting the ball," Englert
explained. “We have good hit
ters, but it seems like everybody
is having trouble."
Englert surely isn’t including
himself. He is hitting at a .450
clip for one of the best averages
in the nation.
several others are beginning to
get some wood on the ball,” Engl
ert said. “Butch Ghutzman had
been having trouble with his hit
ting, mainly because he was try
ing too hard. He’s breaking out
of it now because he is playing
more relaxed ball."

“Sandy Bate and Jim Hacker
are hitting the ball real well and
For the last three years, Engl

hitters in the nation. He hit .400
and .367, in his sophomore and
junior years respectively, and is
currently in a 24-game hitting
Because of his fine batting
average, his good defensive play
in the outfield and his excellent
speed, Englert is a prime candi

seems a certainty that Englert

then I’ll try to sign as a free
agent.”
Englert says he has no prefer
ence of ball clubs. He just wants
to play pro baseball.
“I had the opportunity to sign
this past summer with the De
troit Tigers as a free agent,"
Englert explained, “but I turned
them down because I wanted to
come back and finish nij
