A&M topped Tech in the open er 11-4 behind the 13 strikeout pitching of Bobby Falcon and a three-run homer by Mike Schraeder. Saturday the luck of the Irish left the Ags as Tech swept the doubleheader 6-2 and 4-3. The loss puts the Aggies two games behind the favored Texas Longhorns who swept TCU to lead the young conference race. “We will have to play a great deal better than we did against Tech,” said A&M coach Tom Chandler referring to his team’s chances of nabbing the confer ence crown. A&M could manage but three hits off 6-8 Tech hurler Randy Prince in Saturday’s first game, and were plagued by untimely errors and clutch Tech fielding in the second. Earlier holiday action saw the Aggies beat Louisiana Tech 2-1 as junior college transfer Jim Juhl won his second game for the Aggies while giving up one hit. The series with the Cajuns was scheduled for four games but rainy weather which seems to be following the Aggies forced postponement of the other three contests. The Aggies whipped Sam Hous ton in the opening game of a doubleheader last Tuesday 6-5 but the Bearkats rallied to hang the first defeat of the season 11-2 in the nightcap. Injuries have been part of A&M’s recent downfall. Right- fielder Jim Bratsen and center- fielder John Woods have pulled muscles and pitcher Clint Thomas has a sore arm.
