A right-handed fastball pitcher,
Cleveland was touted as having the
strongest arm on the staff. He had
been used as a spot starter and long
reliever since being acquired from
St. Louis before the 1974 season.
His overall record is 86-82 with a
3.79 earned run average.
Cleveland was 4-1 in spring train
ing this year with a 6.76 earned run
average in 21 innings of work.
But Manager Don Zimmer shun
ned Cleveland at the start of the
regular season, opting to use rookie
Allen Ripley as the fourth starter
and rookie Jim Wright in spot relief.
“I’m not happy to leave, but I’m
happy to be going to Texas rather
than to someone else,” said Cleve
land, who was 11-8 with a 4.26 ERA
last season. “They’re a contender
and I have a chance to pitch.”

Aggie notes and quotes
The Texas A&M baseball team
makes its last home appearance of
the season Friday and Saturday
when it hosts Texas Tech in a very
important three-game Southwest
Conference series. The single game
Friday will begin at 2 p.m. with Sat-
ruday’s doubleheader starting it 1
p.m. The Friday game time was ad
vanced an hour due to Aggie
ter.
The Aggies missed an opportunity
to catch league-leading Arkansas last
weekend when they dropped the
third game of the hotly-contested
series 3-2. A&M scored a run in the
ninth inning of the first game to give
junior Mark Ross his sixth straight
victory. The Aggie went without a
hit for the first five innings of the
second game before breaking loose
for three runs and a 3-1 win. Junior
lefty Mark Thrumond pitched his
second straight two-hitter for his
ninth win of the season without a
loss. Thurmond has now won 20
consecutive regular season games
without a loss. The Aggies went hit
less for six innings in the third game
and trailed 2-0 before tying the
game with a single run in the
seventh and eighth. SMU’s Larry
Long hit a solo homerun in the bot
tom of the eighth for the win. The
A&M loss broke an 11-game win
ning streak.
The Aggies are now 27-11 for the
season and 14-4 in SWC play. Ar
kansas leads at 15-3. The Razorbacks
visit Houston for three-games this
weekend before finishing the season
against the Aggies in Fayetteville
April 28-29.

concerned about the health of his
squad. The Aggies had only three
players at their regular positions for
die third game after centeidielder
Mike Hurdle injured an ankle Fri
day and catcher Buster Turner suf
fered heat prostration in the first
game Saturday. Hurdle is still
doubtful for the Texas Tech series.
