OptN 6 DAys Til 6 PM The women’s softball team will host the Texas A&M Invitational Tournament this weekend at Bee Creek Park. Play begins at 9 a.m. Friday and continues at 10 a.m. Saturday. Last year the Aggies had their best season in A&M’s history, finish ing with a 58-20 record and placing fifth in the National Tournament. Thirteen of those losses came at the hands of Texas Woman’s Uni versity, the No. 1 team in the coun try. TWU, who will be in the tour nament this weekend, finished last season with an unbelievable 71-5 record. A&M beat them three of those five games. Last year A&M set many school records, including most wins, dou ble plays, shutouts and extra-base hits. With nine new players and an entire new infield, it will be in teresting to see if this year’s team | MANOR EAST 3 * * MANOR EAST MALL* JThe Muppet Movie £11! £ J Star Wars 7:30 9:55 * North Dallas Forty 7:15 L. 9.;45_X * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SKYWAY TWIN DRIVE-IN 2000 E. 29th St. WEST Moonraker and Last Embrace EAST Blazing Saddles and The Duches and the Dirtwater Fox can keep up the winning pace. Returning from last year’s squad are Nancy Sullivan, Rhonda Reese, Mary Lou Wargo, Glorian Motal and Shannon Murray. Sullivan, a junior from Houston, is moving from the outfield to shortstop this year. She has the de manding job of replacing Cindy Gough, who has been the Ags’ shortstop the past four years. “We’re looking for her to be one of the team leaders this year,’’ Gal loway said of Sullivan. Reese, a junior from Houston, will be the Aggies’ starting catcher. She has led A&M in hitting the past two years and hit .300 last spring. Starting centerfield will be Wargo, who hit .280 last fall and tied for the lead in doubles. The sophomore from Illinois sat out the spring with a broken ankle, but is healthy again this fall. Motal, who is the only senior on the team, will start in the outfield but will also occasionally relieve Reese at catching. She was A&M’s second leading hitter last year. Murray, a sophomore from Clute, set an A&M pitching record last year with 17 wins and two losses. Oddly enough, she won’t pitch this year, but will play mostly in the out field and some in the infield. “She has much versitility and good speed,” Galloway said of Mur ray. “We want to utilize that.” A&M is missing the services of Karen Guerrero, who tied the school record for stolen bases. The outfielder had knee surgery in the spring and has been red-shirted this fall. Walk-ons Sarah Shelton, a sophomore from Bryan, and Teri Stoewer, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, have the base speed that Galloway hopes will win a few games. Speed has become an invaluable asset since a new rule allowing sub stitutions to be made as often as pos sible went into effect last year. Players leaving the game can re enter at the same batting order. Galloway recruited three new pitchers for the starting rotation. Irene Mach, a freshman from Con necticut, pitched her high school team to two state championships. Lori Stoll, a hard-throwing lefth ander from Missouri, has a good off-speed pitch, strength and stamina. “Endurance is not a ques tion there,” Galloway said. Treshan McDonald, a 5-11 sophomore transfer from Canada, throws a change-up and drop ball. we re looking for. She’s very quick and aggressive.” Padgett from Orlando, Fla. will start at first. “I felt she is one of the most powerful left-handed hitters coming up in the country,” Gallo way said. “The team she played on went to Junior Nationals the last few years so she has good experience in that area. ” Pritchard from Long Beach, Calif, will start in the outfield. She’s a strong left-handed hitter with good power. Resendez, another lett-hiiij united r hitter from California, will staii iiNSlNG, third base. “She’s a slap bitten jchThs.

Austgen from Illinois will be start ing at second. She was one of 40 players invited to the Pan American team tryouts. “She’s one of the top players in the Midwest,” Galloway said. “She gives us our speed aspect ita Braves ai ys, both o 20-win sea: got 1 Kh win at I ifio.
