Page 12 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22. 1978 sports U SC has Aggies’ number, win Olsen opener 5-5 By DERRICK GRUBBS The Texas A& M baseball team fi nally got to play a game in its new $2 million stadium Tuesday and in doing so, dropped a 5-2 decision to nationally-ranked Southern Califor- C.E. “Pat’ Olsen Field was offi cially dedicated in ceremonies at home plate preceeding the game between the Aggies and the Tro jans. Pat Olsen, a 1923 graduate and former baseball player at A&M — the man for whom the facility is named — threw out the first ball from the pitcher’s mound as a high light to the ceremonies. The Aggies faced one of the pre mier pitchers in college baseball in sophomore lefthander Bill Bordley. Bordley was 14-0 for USC as a freshman last year to become the first Trojan pitcher to go undefeated in a season, a feat not even accom plished by former USC hurlers Tom Seaver, Bill Busby, or Bill Lee, all of whom are now pitching in the major leagues. Bordley ran his 1978 season rec ord to 4-0 in holding A&M to just four hits through nine innings on the mound. The Trojans scored first on a two- run homer by rightfielder Keith Brown in the top of the first. The Aggies narrowed the margin to 2-1 in the second on a solo home run by first baseman Kyle Hawth orne. It was Hawthorne’s eighth four-bagger of the season, leaving him just one shy of the A&M school record. USC scored two more in the fifth when first baseman Dave Hostetler walked, moved to second on a fiel der’s choice grounder by third baseman Dave Engle, and scored on a single by designated hitter Gerald Price. A sacrifice fly by John Wells scored Engle for the Trojans’ fourth run of the day. A&M scored its only other run in the bottom of the fifth when leftfiel- der Gary Bryant led off with a single, went to second on a throwing error by Bordley, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. He scored when shortstop Robert Bonner lofted a sacrifice fly to right. The Trojans scored the final tally in the eighth when Wells singled, stole second, and scored on a throw ing error by second baseman Randy Woodruff on an attempted doublep lay throw to first. Aggie starter David Pieczynski had a shaky start as he gave up three bases on balls and the home run in the first inning, but settled down to retire USC in order over the next three innings. He gave up two runs in the fifth, however, which prompted A&M coach Tom Chandler to bring in junior Mark Ross to pitch the final four frames. Pieczynski got the loss, dropping his season record to 2-3. Bordley struck out six in record ing his 18th consecutive win without a loss as a Trojan. The Aggies produced four hits, one each by Bonner, Hawthorne, Bryant, and third baseman Robert Verde. USC got only five hits off Piec zynski and Ross, led by Brown who was 2-for-3 including the round- tripper in the first which was his third of the season. A&M drops to 16-7 on the year while USC upped its season slate to 15-4. This afternoon, the Aggies host Minnesota in a 1 p.m. game, at Olsen Field, followed by a rematch with USC at 3 p.m. 9 EAkTATiM OAKS APARTMENTS ATTENTION APARTMENT HUNTERS!
