the plate putting the Aggies ahead,
1-0. Buddy Grobe then racked up a
pair of RBI’s on a double to left-
center field to extend the lead.
The Farmers did not score again
until the seventh inning when Bob
Dulak and Winston Whiddon had a
pair of base hits. Whiddon’s was a
rifling shot down the first base line
which sent Dulak to third. Center-
fielder Robert Verde followed with a
sacrifice fly. Biersner then got his
second hit of the afternoon to send in
Whiddon for the final tally.
Minnesota scored a run on a wild
pitch which bounced off the plate
and over the backstop in the
seventh, and another on a hit by De
nman which slid by Scott Pacchal in
the final inning.
Gibson yielded one walk while re
cording his ninth win of the year.
The win tied the A&M record for
career wins in a single season. The
senior from Carrizo Springs equalled
his victory total of last year. He also
broke the school record for most con
secutive innings pitched without giv
ing up a run.
Dan Forsythe suffered the defeat
for the Gophers.
The Ags square off with Minnesota
again today in a single game and then
resume Southwest Conference ac
tion Friday against the Baylor Bears.
