Losing streak at 4 games
Baseball team loses doubleheader
By STEVE MARTAINDALE
Adding insult to injury, Texas<
A&M University’s baseball team
dropped both ends of a dou
bleheader to visiting Oklahoma City
University by margins of 7-5 and 3-2
on Kyle Field Monday afternoon.
The injury occured Sunday when,
visiting Lubbock, the Aggies lost a
conference doubleheader to Texas
Tech by scores of 7-6 and 6-5.
OCU will be back on Kyle Field
this afternoon at 1 p .m. for another
doubleheader.
The wins were the first for the
Chiefs, giving them a 2-5 record
while the Aggie’s slate dropped to
12-6.
Two home runs in the opening
game gave Texas A&M all its runs.
Tim Feickert, a junior college trans
fer from California, hit his first
home run as an Aggie to give Texas
A&M a 2-1 advantage in the second
inning. The hit also brought in Bob
Dulak, who opened the inning by
getting on with an error.
OCU moved back into the lead in
the third after Mark Class and
Chuck Page opened the inning with
walks. A sacrifice bunt advanced
them around the bases and Glass
scored on a fielder’s choice when
Dave Grisham grounded out.
Page scored on the next pitch
when Bob Fiala reached first on an
The Chiefs added another run in
the fourth when Craig Cotton rap
ped a double, reached third on an
error and scored on a fly to center.
Dulak again opened the Aggies’
scoring, reaching first on a base-
on-balls. Feickert picked up a single
to move Dulak to second where
they both sat through two outs.
Robert Verde moved the Ags back
into the lead with the game’s second
home run, for a 5-4 difference.
Oklahoma City wrapped up the
win and the game’s scoring in the
sixth inning, scoring three runs off
of only one hit.
Bill Nashert went the entire
seven innings for the Chiefs to get
the win. The loss went to reliever
Ronnie Scearce, his first decision.
Nashert’s record is 1-1.
Aggie Buddy Grobe led the game
in the hitting department with two
singles and a double in four at-bats.
Feickert went two-for-four. Page
led the Chiefs, going two-for-three.
The Aggies left eight runners on
base in the first game, compared to
OCU’s four.
In the second game, the Chiefs
carried a 3-0 lead into the sixth in
ning, scoring in three different
two-hit innings.
In the first period, second base-
man Page got on base because of an
error and scored on a pair of singles
from Grisham and Bob Fiala. Craig
Cotton led the second inning with a
single and was advanced to home by
a sacrifice bunt and a one-base hit
from Mark Glass.
With two out in the fifth, left
fielder Ronnie Dahl hit a single and
came in off a Grisham double.
The Aggies opened the sixth in
ning intent on making up the differ
ence. Grobe opened with a double
and shortstop Robert Bonner fol
lowed with a single. Shelton
McMath began the scoring when he
singled in Grobe. With one out,
Winston Whiddon walked to load
the bases.
Feickert watched a fourth ball go
by to break a full count and force
Bonner in and make the Chiefs
bring in a new pitcher. Steve Mar
cum went to the mound for OCU
and killed the Aggie surge with a
infield pop-up and a strike out.
The Aggies again stranded eight
runners in the game, as did Okla
homa City. Ron Smith was credited
with the win for the Chiefs, giving
him a 1-0 record. Mike Viet
fered the loss,
to 0-1.

Houston Post Columnist Lynn
Ashby’s recent article on far-flung
and foreign Aggies has been entered
into the Congressional Record,
courtesy of Rep. Olin E. (Tiger)
Teague.
Teague had the article included
in the Feb. 24 issue of the congres
sional proceedings after the follow
ing preparatory remarks: “Mr.
Speaker, much has been said of the
Texas Aggies, both in peace and
war; and also in some jokes which
are not generally accepted by a
Texas Aggie. One gentleman, how
ever, has said it all in the following
article entitled ‘Not One Joke’ writ
ten by Mr. Lynn Ashby that ap
peared in the Houston Post on Feb
ruary 9, 1977, which protrays the
Aggie Spirit and camaraderie.’
The article also was a key factor in
a recent decision by A&M’s alumni
organization, the Association of
Former Students, to make Ashby an
associate member and honorary
Aggie— not bad for a UT graduate.
