It was another case of pitchers working in trouble all day as the two teams left 25 runners on base. The Aggies left 14 on with the Jayhawks leaving 11. In 15 games this year the Aggies have left 126 men on base. It didn’t hurt the Aggies though as they got enough of their runners across the plate to win the game and that’s all that matters. A&M jumped out front in the third with a single tally. Tommy Hawthorne led off the inning with his second walk of the game. Bill Raymer followed with another four ball count to give the Ags two run ners with no outs. Jim Bratsen had a single to load the bases for second baseman Mike Schraeder. Schraeder has had trouble with the bases loaded this season as he had struck out in three previous trips to the plate with three men on. He wasted no time in breaking his streak as he sent a sharp single up the middle to score Hawthorne to give the Aggies a 1-0 lead. The next three Ags went out leaving the bases loaded. The Jayhawks wasted no time in knotting up the score with a single spot in their half of the fourth. The first two Kansas hitters accounted for the run as lead off hitter Andy Gilmore walked and was chased home on a Steve Raab double. The Aggies were as quick getting the lead back as the Jayhawks were in taking it from them. In the Aggie fourth Rick Crabtree got the Aggies second run all by himself. He led off the inning with a single, stole sec ond and moved to third on Tommy Hawthorne’s ground out and then scored on a pass ball. The run put the Ags in front to stay. No more damage was done by either team until the 7th inning when the Aggies decided it was time to pad their lead. The inning started off innocently enough when B ill Raymer grounded out on a good play by the Kansas first baseman. Jim Bratsen followed Raymer to the plate but he didn’t hit the ball on, the ground. . B ratsen stepped into the first [pitch and sent it high and long over the center field wall for his first home run of the season and a 3-1 Aggie lead. That wasn’t all for the Ags in the seventh just yet. On the next pitch Mike Schraeder drove the ball up the middle for his second of three hits for the day. He was follov ed by walks to Fred Russ and Al Thur mond to load the bases. Kirk Camp bell plated the second run of the inning with a wind-aided bloop single down the right field line. The two runs were all the Aggies could muster as they left the bases loaded for the second time. Kansas got one run back in the eighth when first baseman Carl Heinrich opened the inning with a single. He scored on an Andy Gil more double which got by Don James in the Aggie outfield enabling Gilmore to get to third. The Aggies were not out of trou ble yet as Kansas had Gilmore on third with only one out but the next Kansas hitter lofted a high lazy fly into medium-deep right field. Bill Raymer caught the fly for out two and threw a perfect strike to the plate to nail Gilmore who was trying to score on the fly. The inning end ing double play put an end to Kansas for the day. The Aggies added an insurance run in their half of the eighth. With IvXvXv.v.* Vxwx*:;:-' Batt soorts II ■ •’•x* 111 i two out Jim Bratsen walked ad Mike Schraeder followed with single.
