Designated Hitter Enables Sweep
Baseballers Win Two From Gophers
By BILL HENRY
Battalion Sports Editor
Try it, you’ll like it—and did
the Aggies ever.
A&M was asked if it would
like to use the new designated
pinch-hitter rule here Tuesday
afternoon by Minnesota’s base
ball coach. They did and used
the new American League inno
vation to score 14 runs in the
doubleheader and swept the Go
phers.
Tommy Hawthorne, pinch hit
ter in the opener, slammed in
two runs while going three for
four which included a triple in
the 10-4 win.
In the second game, Mike Fraz
ier, the designated pinch hitter,
went two for three and had one
RBI in leading the Aggies to a
4-1 win.
The designated pinch hitter is
a player selected by the coach
before the game to hit for the
pitcher each time his turn to bat
comes. The pinch hitter plays no
defensive position—just w r aits on
the bench until his turn to bat
comes.
“I love it (designated pinch
hitter rule),” Hawthorne said
after the first game. “You never
have to worry about getting an
error or making a bad play. You
just sit there and wait to hit.”
Fx-azier played catcher in the
opener and Hawthorne caught
the second.
These two teams will play an
other doubleheader today, weath
er permitting, and the designat
ed pinch-hit rule should again be
in effect if the Gophers don’t
renege.
The Aggies used 11 hits in the
opener to grab their ten runs
while the Gophers slammed eight
in achieving their four.
First baseman Paul Miller and
newly-added shortstop David
Buxkamper each had two hits
and two runs-batted-in. Frazier
also had two RBI’s on a bases-
loaded double in the second in
ning.
Rightfielder Jim Bratsen, cen-
terfielder Craig Hodges and sec
ond baseman Sandy Bate also had
a hit for the Aggies.
Bobby Wittkamp got credit for
the win, the third of the year
without a loss, while Jimmy Juhl
was credited with a save. Witt
kamp pitched four innings, gave
up five hits, four runs and struck
out six. Juhl went three innings,
gave up three hits, no runs and
struck out one.
Minnesota was led by catcher
Larry Hoyer who had three hits
in three at bats with two RBI’s.
Centerfielder Mike Holm went
two for four.
The Gophers jumped out to a
three run lead in the first inning
but A&M scoi’ed five in the sec
ond, one in the third, one in the
fourth and three in the sixth.
Minnesota scored one in the
fourth.
In the nightcap, Minnesota
again jumped out with a one-run
lead in the opening of the first
but A&M stormed back to tie it
in the bottom of the inning. Mil
ler and rightfielder A1 Thurmond
started it off with singles, Jim
Hacker hit into a double play
but moved Miller to third. Brat
sen sent one up the middle scor
ing Miller. Frazier sent a deep
shot to left to end the inning.
The Aggies broke it open in
the third scoring three runs after
two outs had been made.
Thurmond and Gene Reinarz
walked and Frazier hit a line
shot up the middle to score Thur
mond. Mike Schraeder followed
with a single to score Reinarz.
Buxkamper got another single to
score Frazier but tried to stretch
his hit to a double on the throw
to the plate but was thrown out
to end the inning.
The rest was relatively calm
as pitchers Bobby Falcon, credit
ed with his second win of the
year with no losses, and Clint
Thomas held the Gophers to only
four hits in seven innings.
Falcon went four giving up
three hits, four walks and struck
out seven. Thomas went three,
gave up one hit and struck out
three.
Buxkamper was the biggest
surprise for Chandler in the dou
bleheader. He was just elevated
to the roster and was forced into
action due to a split finger suf
fered by regular shortstop Mike
Schraeder in pre-game warm-ups.
The freshman from Columbus
went thi-ee for seven and batted
in three runs in both games and
didn’t make a single bobble on
defense although he must have
been shaky having worked out
with the vai’sity just one day.
Conference action again is
scheduled with SMU’s Mustangs
on tap for three games here Fri
day and Saturday.

Need Lots Of Work

shutout ball in relief of Bobby Falcon to help lead the Ag
gies to a 4-1 victory over Minnesota in the second game
of a doubleheader yesterday. A&M won the first game

A&M football coach Emory
Bellard said “we have a lot of
work ahead of us” following the
first session of spring training
for his Texas Aggies yesterday.
The Aggies, some 90 strong,
worked for over two hours and
Bellard said he was pleased with
their physical conditioning and
enthusiasm.
There were two major changes
offensively for the Ags.
Ricky Seeker, starting offen
sive tackle last year, was moved
to center and Richard Osborne,
who shared end duties with Carl
Roaches was moved to tight end.
The Aggies also lost an old
face but gained a new one into
their football family.
Bill Wiebold, a two year let-
terman at defensive tackle and
one of only two two-year letter-
men on the team, decided to fore
go his senior season and has
dropped football.
The new face around the Ag
gie camp was coach Bob Stanley.
Tuesday was Stanley’s first day
at A&M and he will be handling
offensive line duties during the
spring workouts.
Speed and youth was evident
throughout the squad as the first
depth chart showed 12 sopho
mores in starting positions.
The Aggies will practice Tues
day thru Saturday from 4 p.m.
till about 6 p.m. with the Maroon
and White game slated for April
21.
