A&M wins 5-2
Kansas bows to Aggies
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas Aggies ran their season
record to 13-2 and stayed unde
feated at home as they handed the
Kansas Jayhawks a 5-2 defeat yes
terday at Kyle Field.
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
