Ags try to bridle Ponies
By DERRICK GRUBBS
The Texas Aggies take a nine-
game winning streak into Dallas this
weekend as they battle the SMU
Mustangs in a SWC series at Rever-
shon Park. The teams play a 7:30
p.m. contest Friday with a doub
leheader slated for 1 p.m. Saturday.
The Ags, at 12-3, are currently in
second place in the conference
standings, a game and a half behind
Arkansas. The Razorbacks are idle
in league play this weekend so a
sweep by A&M over the Ponies
would move them into a tie with the
Hogs for the league lead.
SMU took a 17-20 season record
into a doubleheader with UT-
Arlington Wednesday. They are
tied with TCU for last place in the
SWC with a 4-11 slate.
The Mustangs kre a much im
proved club from the team that
finished 1-22 in SWC play last year.
They boast the league’s top return
ing hitter in junior Gordon Ricossa,
who batted .375 in 1977.
The rest of the SMU lineup with
their season batting averages going
into their Wednesday twinbill with
UTA has senior Donnie Williams
(.239) at second base, senior Mike
Tarver (.300) at third base, sopho
more Pat Garcia (.240) at shortstop,
junior Danny Seed (.333) in
leftfield, sophomore Larry Long
(.320) in center, senior Mike
Hughes (.277) in right, and senior
Fla Strawn (.257) at catcher.
Seed was leading the team in hit
ting and ranks third in the SWC
with a .375 league average going
into play this weekend. Through 37
games. Seed had received 45 bases
on balls accounting for an impress
ive 61 percent on-base-average. He
also has eight stolen bases on the
season.
Strawn leads the Ponies in RBI’s
with 26 and Garcia is the team
leader in home runs with five.
Freshman Glenn Box (.202) could
see action as the Ponies’ designated
hitter.
The pitching rotation SMU will
use against A&M is unsettled but
the likely candidate for Friday
night’s contest is junior Paul
Glogowski who is 3-2 on the year
with a 5.95 earned-run-average.
The other Mustang starters will
come from junior John Janosko (1-3,
3.73), sophomore Kyle Hollister
(1-4, 8.64) or Ricossa (0-3, 7.71). A
lefthander, Ricossa splits time as a
first baseman and as a pitcher, but a

bruised shin might keep him off the
mound for the A&M series.
The top two relievers for SMU
are junior Bruce Adams, a
knuckleballer who has a 2-0 record
and 4.70 ERA. The other bullpen
ace is Larry Hughes, who has a 4-2
slate and 5.40 ERA. All four of his
wins this season have come in relief.
The Aggies, 25-10 on the season,
will counter with the same lineup
that has carried them through
sweeps of Rice, Baylor and TCU.
That includes Robert Bonner (.341)
at shortstop, Robert Verde (.260) at
third base, Gary Bryant (.292) in
right field, Kyle Hawthorne (.342) at
first base, Mark Warriner (.265) or
Rodney Hodde (.245) the desig
nated hitter, Mike Hurdle (.318) in
centerfield, Tim Feickert (.269) in
leftfield, Buster Turner (.258) at
catcher, and Randy Woodruff (.286)
at second base.
Hawthorne currently leads the
team in hitting, RBTs (37), runs
scored (32), home runs (13) and total
bases (83). The Beaumont junior is
leading the nation in home runs and
already this year has broken the
school records for season and career
four-baggers. His season slugging
percentage is an awesome .709.
The Aggies’ pitching rotation will
be the same also. Mark Ross (5-3,
3.56) will start Friday night’s game
with Mark Thurmond (8-0, 2.03)
and David Pieczynski (4-3, 3.40)
working Saturday’s twinbill.
Ross has won his last five deci
sions after getting off to a sin
start. Thurmond is one oft
