CINCINNATI — J. R. Richard hit
a solo home run Wednesday night
and combined with Dave Smith on a
four-hitter, and Cesar Cedeno and
Joe Morgan backed him with home
runs to give the Houston Astros a 5-1
victory over the Cincinnati Reds and
a half-game, first-place lead over the
Reds.
Richard gave up three hits and
struck out eight over TVs innings for
his fourth victory. He was replaced
in the eighth after developing stiff
ness in his shoulder.
The Astros scored their first run off
loser Tom Seaver, 1-1, in the third.
Cedeno walked, stole second and
scored on Alan Ashby’s double.
Houston scored twice more in the
fifth when Cedeno hit his second
homer in as many nights. One out
later, Richard hit his first homer of
the year.
3 more Aggies
picked in draft
Three more Texas A&M Universi
ty football players were selected in
Wednesday’s National Football
League college draft.
Gerald Carter, George Woodard
and James Zachery were swooped up
in the final stages of the 1980 draft,
bringing to five the number of play
ers selected from Texas A&M.
Curtis Dickey and Jacob Green
were claimed fifth and 10th in Tues
day’s first round.
In Wednesday’s rounds, Tampa
Bay selected Aggie wide receiver
Carter as the 19th pick in the ninth
round. Running back Woodard was
taken as the 12th pick in the twelfth
round by the New Orleans Saints,
and linebacker Zachery was selected
as the 13th pick in the twelfth round
by the New York Jets.
The Texas A&M University baseball team is good. In fact,
excellent.
You, as the students of Texas A&M, should be proud of that
Now, for the first time since the innovation of the post-sea*;
Southwest Conference Tournament, that tournament will beheldlia
in College Station.
For the past three years, the University of Texas has hosted4
games for a packed grandstand. The partisan crowd was definiteljn
advantage for the Longhorns.
This year, we Ags have a chance to support a fine team. TheA[
who before the 1980 season began were not picked to clean anyoit!
plate, scrapped their way to a 36-10 record, good for second in!?
league behind the Longhorns, with an outside chance offinishingliif
if the Longhorns should, by some miracle, get swept three-stni^
by TCU, the Aggies would finish on the top of the heap. Not bat
Despite this gutty team’s success during the season, it hasbeens
to see a ballgame at beautiful Olsen Field with only 300 other fans, h
Sunday, the last home game for the team except for the toumaiwi
approximately 250 showed up, and that’s being generous
For the past three years, the Longhorns have held successfulS\!
tournaments, and now the pressure falls on Texas A&M to
better that record.
As I watched the Aggies warm-up Wednesday, I thought of4
Aggies successes this year. Three freshmen pitchers, Robert Slaven
Rick Luecken, and David Flores have come from nowhere topost23i i
the 36 Aggie wins, Simon Glenn has swiped a school record 20 basj
right fielder Mike Hurdle has set numerous total base records, ski
stop Bryan “Twig” Little had 86 assists this season, a new
conference record, the Aggies as a team tied a school record with a,J
fielding average, etc., etc., etc.
And only averaging a few hundred fans a game?
A fan sitting with me during the practice listed off the problemslt
tournament directors were having.
“The first three years they had it (the SWC tournament in Auite
they drew great crowds and it was a decided advantage for Texas,!
said. “When they first decided to have the tournament, it was puttk
in Austin. Texas has the best facility for it. It should have been mow
around, though.
“Now, their success puts a little pressure on A&M. We’ve
have good crowds. If Baylor or Houston were going to play, it would
easier, but Tech and Arkansas being in the tournament mean peoji
from Lubbock and Fayetteville won’t be showing.’’
Now, the Aggies have made it to their own SWC tournament,
Granted, the tournament begins after school lets out for the su
mer, but t.u didn’t seem to have too much problem packing tk
stadium for the tourney.
tournament officials are working hard to show outside forcestk
Texas A&M is a good place to hold this tournament, and perhapsl
heavy planning is because of a fear of no-shows.
We, who have the most spirited fans in the SWC, if not thecounli!
should not have any problem catering to their plans.
Show up for a game or two and watch the Aggies play ball. I
you. You won’t be disappointed.
