ies take two from Texa
BY DERRICK GRUBBS
The Texas Aggies solidified their
position in the SWC championship
race this past weekend by taking
two-out-of-three from Texas at
Disch-Falk Field in Austin.
A&M used the unstoppable com
bination of timely hitting and clutch
pitching to claim a 5-4 win in the
first game Friday. Mark Thurmond
hurled a six-hit shutout as the Ags
won the front end of the Saturday
doubleheader 1-0, but were denied
a sweep of the series when the
Horns took advantage of ten bases
on balls by A&M pitching to take a
5-2 win in the nightcap.
In Friday’s game, junior Mark
Ross turned in six innings of superb
mound work before running into
trouble in the ninth. After leading
the team in victories last year, Ross
had been struggling through most of
the early part of the ’78 season and
came into Austin with the worst
record on the Aggie staff at 1-3.
Against UT, however, he looked
like the Ross of a year ago and had
allowed only one unearned run on
just four hits until the Longhorns
cane alive in the final frame.
After giving up singles to the first
two batters, A&M coach Tom
Chandler lifted Ross and brought in
John Pockrus to try to get the final
three outs.
Pockrus hit the first batter he
faced to load the bases. A sacrifice
fly scored one run and after a
ground out, Pockrus walked another
batter to once again load the bases.
A bloop single into left field by UT
centerfielder Joe Bruno brought in
two more runs and the Horns were
within a run at 5-4.
Pockrus, as he did on several oc
casions last year, came through in
the tight situation to get the final out
when second baseman Randy
Woodruff fielded a high bouncer off
the bat of leftfielder Bobby
Thompson and threw to first base-
man Kyle Hawthorne for the putout
and end the game.
For Pockrus, it was his third save
of the season and allowed Ross to
raise his record to 2-3 on the year.
The Aggies banged out 11 hits in
the game, led by centerfielder Mike
Hurdle, who was 3-for-4 with three
RBI’s, two of them coming on a
bases-loaded double that bounced
off the Disch-Falk Astroturf and
over the rightfield fence.
The losing pitcher for Texas was
junior Kem Wright, who dropped to
3-2 on the year.
The Ags faced another Wright in
the first game Saturday — freshman
Ricky Wright, younger brother of
Kem. The tall lefthander dueled
A&M’s Mark Thurmond through six
scoreless innings until A&M pushed
across the winning run in the top of
the seventh.
Rightfielder Shelton McMath led
off the inning with a single up the
middle. After catcher Buster Turner
sacrificed him to second, shortstop
Robert Bonner lined a shot off
Wright’s left shin for an infield hit,
sending McMath to third. After sec
ond baseman Steve Robinson flied
out to shallow centerfield, leftfielder
Robert Verde stepped up with a
chance to repeat his performance of
last year when he singled home the
winning run in the sixth inning to
give the Ags a 1-0 win over UT.
Verde didn’t get a chance to stage
an encore, however, as Wright’s
first pitch to him glanced off catcher
Dan Moody’s shinguard for a passed
ball, allowing McMath to score and
put A&M ahead 1-0.
Thurmond held off the Longhorns
in the final inning to pick up his fifth
win of the year without a loss. It was

also Thurmond’s eighth straight
complete game victory in SWC play
dating back to last year, and also was
the junior lefthander’s fifth shutout
of his Aggie career. He struck out
seven, alked only three and hit one
batter.
Wright’s record dropped to 3-2 on
the year, despite a good perform
ance in which he struck out seven
and walked only two. The run off
him in the seventh inning was un
earned as it scored on the passed
ball by Moody.
A&M collected nine hits in the
game, led by a pain-ridden Bonner

who was 2-for-3. Bonner had
bruised his left shoulder in the Fri
day game on a play at second base
Although he could barely raise his
arm Saturday morning, he refused
to be taken out of the lineup and
played all 16 innings of the Saturday
twinbill.
The Longhorns denied A&M a
sweep of the series as bases on balls
by Aggie pitching allowed Texas to
“walk” away with a 5-2 win.
A&M took a quick 1-0 lead in the
first inning when Bonner hit the
first pitch of the game from UT
freshman starter Keith Creel into
the rightfield comer for a double.
Bonner went to third on a ground
out by Verde and scored on a single
by leftfielder Gary Bryant.
Starter David Pieczynski got into
early trouble as he issued five free
passes through one-plus innings of
work. He was relieved in the second
by roommate Jim McWilliams, who
came in with the bases loaded and
no one out. Pieczynski had already
walked in one run and McWilliams
did the same to the first batter he
faced to put UT up 3-1 at that point.
McWilliams retired the next three
batters to get out of the jam.
McWilliams held the Horns
scoreless for the next four frames
but ran into trouble in the seventh.
