The University of Houston’s
baseball team gave Texas A&M’s
Aggies the Southwest Conference
lead earlier this week by defeating
the University of Texas.
Now the Aggies must sweep
Houston of a three-game series this
weekend to have a good chance to
keep that lead through the final
stretch of SWC play.
The series in Houston will be the
last regularly scheduled games for
both teams. A&M has a 15-4 confer
ence record and Houston has a
12-8-1 mark.
Texas, defending a nine-year
streak of conference championships,
will take a 14-4 record into their se
ries in the hills of Arkansas.
What may prove the fatal blow to
the Aggies in their attempt at the
conference crown is the day’s rain in
Houston April 2, striking out a
two-game series with Rice Universi
ty.
Providing rain does not mess up
the remaining schedule, A&M
needs more than a series sweep in
Houston. The Aggies will have an
ear turned toward Arkansas, hoping
to hear of a Longhorn loss. Texas
