game.

The dual victories lifted their sea
son record to 4-0.
The trend in this young season has
been for the Ags to fall behind early,
only to erase the deficit with a com
bination of explosive hitting, excel
lent base running and superb
bullpen assistance.
Such was the case in the first
game, as Sam Houston lit up the
scoreboard quickly, rapping Aggie
pitcher David Lockett for two runs in
the initial inning.
Lockett responded to the treat
ment in stylish fashion striking out
the side in the opening frame.
Shortstop Robert Bonner got
things rolling for the Aggies in the
bottom half of the inning as he “tri
pled to the left center power alley
and scored on a passed ball. A&M’s
lead was upped to 3-1 the next inning
when junior college transfer
Winston Whiddon drilled a hanging
curve ball over the left-center field
barrier. “It was kind of a lucky shot, ”
said Whiddon. “Td played against
him (the Bearkat pitcher) in junior
college and I was expecting a curve
ball. He threw me one and I just got
it up in the air.”
Leftfielder Robert Verde laced a
double to send baserunner Mark
Thurmond to third. Buddy Grobe
and Bonner then hit a pair of singles
to give the Aggies a 7-2 lead after four
innings.
Coach Tom Chandler s men put
on the finishing touches in the sixth
inning as first baseman Kirk
Campbell knocked in two runs fol
lowing a pair of walks and a base hit
by catcher Buster Turner. Lockett
began throwing hard and struck out
six batters, allowing only three base
runners before being lifted in the
fifth inning.
David Mocio and Clint Thomas
took over the relieving duties, fan
ning five additional batters and yield
ing only one hit in the final three
innings.
Lockett was the winning pitcher
and Thomas was credited with the
save.
“I lost my concentration there in
the beginning,” said Lockett, “and
my motion was all messed up. I was
pitching the ball either too low or too
high and I couldn’t find a medium
point. After I calmed down, I threw
it pretty well until the fifth inning
when I was replaced. ”
In the second game, Aggie starting
pitcher Mark Ross gave up a run in
the first inning when Kat third
baseman Steve Maas rapped a single
and scored on a two-bagger by
teammate David Mire. Maas per

afternoon as he had three hits and
reached base six times in eight plate
appearances.
Sam Houston scored again in the
fourth as a hard hit ball scooted by
first baseman Campbell for a single.
An error moments later enabled the
runner to score giving the Kats 2-0
lead.
Power hitting right fielder Billy
Raymer let his presence be felt as he
ripped a double to knock in a run,
closing the gap to 2-1 in the bottom of
the fourth inning.
The scoreboard remained silent
for three innings before the Ags fi
nally gained the lead.
In the seventh, designated hitter
Randy Blanchard singled and Thur
mond walked. The ‘Kats then inten
tionally walked Whiddon, loading
the bases to setup a double play situ
ation.
But the Bearkat strategy backfired
as Verde hit a blooper to the right
side of the infield, scoring Blan
chard. The second baseman fielded
the ball and threw to the shortstop,
forcing Whiddon at second. He then
fired the ball to first as Verde was
crossing the bag. The first baseman
then helplessly held the ball as
Thurmond darted home. He slid
under the tag and the Farmers
jumped in front, 3-2.

mond,” said Coach Tom Chandler.

The women’s track team will head

Coach Dave Williams. “All of the top
teams in the state will be there.”
The field events will begin at 9

The Ags started out their season
on a high note last weekend when
they took third place in a five-way
meet in Denton. Host Texas Wo
man’s University captured first place
ahead of runnerup University of
Texas.
Several Aggies, facing a hard, driv
ing wind, placed well in the track
events. Sharon Boyle took fifth place
in the 1,000-yard run with a time of
2:55.3. Debbie Timmons clocked
43.9 as she took fifth place in the
300-yard run. Martha Sartain’s time
of 1:34.7 also gained her a fifth place
in the 600-yard run.
In the field events, Darcey
Ehmann won second place in the
shot put with a throw of 36-11 1/4,
her best personal effort to date.
Sandra Lyman’s put of 34-10 cap
tured her fifth place in the same
event.
Lyman also won third place in the
discus event with a throw of 115-6.
Ehmann placed a close fourth with a
throw of 113-11.
In the javelin throw, it was Kim
Walker giving the Ags’ best perfor
mance with a throw of 88-9 1/2 which
earned her sixth place. Sartain
placed well in the broad jump, taking
fourth with a jump of 15-41>
