The Aggies destroyed McNeese State and Northwest Ebuisiana in two doubleheaders Fri day and Saturday at College Station’s Bee Creek Park. ■ In the first game of the McNeese doubleheader, Texas A&M won 4-1, even though the Aggies managed only six hits for the game. McNeese managed only two hits off Texas A&M starting pitcher Irene Mach, a Rshman from Southing, Conn. ■The offensive stars in the game for th< Ags, ranked fourth in the nation, were catcher Rhonda Reese and mini baseman Maria Resendez who ■th went two-for-four. Reese, one of the Aggies’ leading hitter during ji will present at se»fcr career, was the Aggies’ offensive hemistry” at Tp.m.clkr of the weekend, collecting two ol more hits in three of the four 1.

Mur ray and McDonald combined their talents to pitch a one-hitter and struck out seven McNeese batters. Both teams were scoreless by the bottom of the sixth inning when the Aggies crossed the plate four times. McNeese pitchers gave up three singles and walked one batter while the defense committed four errors. In the doubleheader against the Northwest Louisiana Lady De mons, once more the Aggie pitching staff was overpowering as Texas A&M won 5-1 and 11-0. In the first game, Mach again pitched a solid game, giving up only five hits. Her only tough inning was the second when Northwest Louisiana got three hits and scored its only run. The big inning for the Aggies was the fourth when they got three hits and scored two runs off an error. The big hitters for A&M in that game were juniors Reese, who got two hits, and shortstop Nancy Sulli van, who was three-for-four. In the second game, starting pitcher Lori Stoll and reliefer McDo nald combined to crumble the Northwest Louisiana bats, as together they threw a no-hitter. The Lady Demons never hit a ball into the outfield, and only got on base twice on walks. Stoll, a sophomore from Lee’s Summit, Mo., struck out 10 batters in just four innings, and McDonald, a sophomore from Cana da, struck out six batters in three innings. And if the pitching wasn’t enough,the Aggie bats exploded against the Lady Demons. Collect ing 14 hits in all, Texas A&M scored four runs in in the second inning, and three in the fourth. The leading hit ters were Carrie Austgen who went three-for-three with two doubles and a triple, and again, Reese, who also went three-for-three. United Press International INDIANAPOLIS — For all the confusion and wonderment sur rounding UCLA this season, one thing is certain as far as Larry Brown is concerned. “He’s gonna score — you can’t stop him,” the UCLA coach said Sunday of Louisville All-America Darrell Griffith. “I won’t be sur prised if everybody on the team gets a chance to guard him. The kids all say they want to take him. But they say that now. ” The Bruins meet Louisville at Market Square Arena tonight (8:15 p.m.) to settle this season’s wildly unpredictable national champion ship before an estimated viewing au dience of 50 million. After Louisville’s 80-72 semifinal victory over Iowa Saturday, the im age of Griffith does not fade easily. He scored 34 points, hitting 14-of-21 shots, to go along with 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. “If his points come easily we’re in trouble. He reminds me a lot of David Thompson, who I coached at Denver in the pros,” said Brown. “I’m approaching this game with more determination than the one against Iowa,” said Griffith, who is dedicating the tournament to a can cer-stricken friend in Louisville. “The Final Four is something you strive for. It’s the highlight of my career. ” But for all of Griffith’s individual gifts, Monday night’s title game might just as well be played in a house of mirrors. These are two simi lar teams — each built on youth and quickness with a hard-running game to compensate for lack of height. “Both teams are offensively de signed to provide equal scoring opportunity,” said Louisville Coach Denny Crum. Brown, whose unranked Bruins advanced to the championship game with a 67-62 victory Saturday over Purdue, is prepared for a quick assault by Louisville. “They’ll probably press us as soon as we get out of the dressing room,” Brown said. “If we get careless and get caught in a schoolyard game, we could be in trouble. ” For Brown, in his first year as UCLA coach, words such as “mysti que” and “tradition” follow him like a zone press. After all. he inherited a team that had won 10 national titles in 16 years and 13 consecutive Pac- 10 championships. “I think UCLA means a great deal,” Brown said. “I know we are a better team now because of the atti tudes of the past coaches and play ers. It is a positive influence on us. We can feel it and it makes us play better. That is what matters to us.” TOO orns crush ggie Netters is By MIKE BURRICHTER Sports Editor ■> ytj |fhe Texas A&M men’s tennis 1 y »n went Austin Saturday confi- J pit they would win their first con- Rnce match over the University of pas for the first time in 15 years.

Kent said he was not sure Schutz would play until the day before the match. “He had been really sick with the flu all week, ” Kent said of the junior from Galveston who has usually play ed in the top seed position for the Ags this season. “He wasn’t in top form. He had lost ten pounds last week. ” Of the Aggies’ lone victory, Kent was ecstatic with the play of Joelson, a freshman from Oregon. “He’s a super athlete,” Kent said. “He just won’t accept defeat. It stares him in the face every week. He’s amazing. I’m going to have to play him higher. He’s had a pretty easy time at No. 5.” Kent said it’s back to the drawing board after the disappointing defeat. “I’m going to change my lineup a little,” he said. “I’m going to use more freshmen against East Texas this week.” The Ags play ETSU here at 1:30 Tuesday.
