:hedk championship, A&M earned the
fright to receive an at-large bid while

Maturei ri on defeated Arkansas 5-0 Satur

going 1 received the at-large bid Monday
icsenui from the NCAA to take part in

ids of vi Mountain, Midwest or Mideast re

Jojie of which will be played this

to be relieved after the Cougar
order had batted around once.
Thurmond, who suffered his first
loss of the season after 12 straight
wins, could not offer a definite ex
planation for his demise in the first
inning.
I didn’t feel like I was throwing
any differently than I had all year,”
said the junior lefty. “Houston just
made contact and the hits fell into
the right spots for them.”
A&M got a strong performance
from Mark Ross the next afternoon,
however, as the Ags claimed a 5-0
win over Arkansas.
“My arm didn’t feel real good but
I think that’s what makes me a bet
ter pitcher,” said Ross after Satur
day’s win. “I couldn’t overpower the
hitters so I relied on my slider and
got them to hit the ball on the
ground.”
A&M was given another shot at
Houston Sunday after the Cougars
lost to Baylor Saturday night.
The Aggies seemed to have all
the “intangibles” working foe them:
revenge motive, momentum after
shutting out Arkansas the day be
fore, wanting to prove they could
come back after losing the first game
of the tournamnent.
But A&M still lost 17-10.
“Naturally we’re very disap
pointed about not doing better in
the tournament,” said Chandler
after Sunday’s loss to the Cougars.
“Our pitching just fell apart. We hit
the ball good but still made too
many mistakes.
“I think there may have been
somewhat of a let-down on our
team,” the Aggie boss added. “We
feel we’ve already proven ourselves
by winning the regular-season
championship. In a tournament like
this, you will usually find that the
champion will not win because they
come in with nothing to gain and
everything to lose.”
Perhaps first baseman Kyle
Hawthorne said it best.
“We wanted to go to Arlington.
That’s where the SWC champion is
supposed to go.”

Lunch time in the patio of our La Rojeha distillery.
When our workers sit down to lunch
they sit down to a tradition.
When they make Cuervo Gold
it’s the same.
Every day at just about eleven the wives from Tequila
arrive at the Cuervo distillery bearing their husbands 1
lunches.
Lunches that have been lovingly prepared in the
same proud manner since men first began working here
in 1795.
It is this same pride in a job well-done that makes
Cuervo Gold truly special. Any way you-drink it, Cuervo
Gold will bring you back to a time when quality ruled m
the world. ||j |jjj||
