By MIKE BURRICHTER Sports Editor The Texas A&M baseball team moved into a first place tie with the University of Texas when they swept the Houston Cougars, 1-0 and 4-3, at Olsen Field Saturday. The Ags also beat the Cougars on Friday, 4-1. While the Aggies were sweeping the Cougars, in Austin the Lon ghorns lost two of three to the Arkan sas Razorbacks. The Aggies, 13-4 in Southwest Conference play, still trail the Horns, 12-3 by percentage points. The Ags take on Miami-Florida this weekend, but resume conference action April 18-20, when they travel to Austin for a three-game series that could determine the confer ence championship. Coach Tom Chandler once again went with three freshman pitchers, and once again, each came through. In the Friday game, David Flores had a six-hitter through eight innings before he was relieved by sopho more Bobby Taylor in the ninth. Rick Luecken tossed a one-hitter in the first game on Saturday, and Robert Slavens scattered ten hits in completing the sweep. In Friday’s game, the Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Simon Glenn walked, Mike Hurdle tripled and Harry Francis singled. In the third, Joey Szekely’s sacrifice fly scored Francis, who had started off the inning with a single, moved to second on Rodney Hodde’s single and advanced to third with another single by Bobby Beach. Mike Hurdle hit into a fielder’s choice scoring Simon Glenn in the fourth inning. Luecken outdueled former high school teammate Rayner Noble in the first game Saturday. Noble, like Luecken, an All-State selection from Spring Woods’ class 4-A state quar- terfinalist team last year, pitched well, giving up only six Aggie hits. The Aggies had several opportuni ties to score, but capitalized only once in the fifth inning, which, as it turned out, was all they needed. When Mike Hurdle lined a single past the shortstop to score Twig Little from third, the Aggies had oti-m p unimpressive; ilson still ailing / 2-5 : ICE AY Assistant coach Jess Stiles con- ucted the Aggie football scrimmage aturday for ailing Tom Wilson, who ad another kidney stone attack riday. Stiles was not impressed with the to hour scrimmage, saying, “We |e|nowhere close to the where we anted to be at this point.” Stiles said Mike Mosley was one of I iefew players who performed well, losley, a senior quarterback from umble, completed eight of nine jsses for 119 yards and a touch- )wn. “If there was any one consistent yer on offense it was Mike, ” Stiles , said. “But he’s had a good spring so I wasn’t surprised.” Stiles said the defense is “way ahead of the offense,”butwenton to say that was to be expected because the defense is much more experi enced than the offense. “We’ve just been making too many mistakes,” Stiles said. “Things like jumping offsides; you just can’t be a good football team and make mistakes like that. We have to use the last two weeks of spring to smooth things out.” The Ags conclude spring drills with the Maroon and White game at 2 p.m. April 19th at Kyle Field. umn v Men s & women's tennis apparel T-Shirts & custom-design transfers Complete selection of athletic clothing ^BROOKS QconVERSE 800 VILLA MARIA RD Lorker Room ' SPORTSHOES UNLIMITED ACROSS FROM MANOR EAST MALI 779 9484 DIETING?
