Despite only getting one hit, the
Texas A&M University women’s
softball team knocked off Oklahoma
University Thursday night, 1-0.
The Aggies now have reached the
semi-finals of the TAIAW Regional
Softball Championships being held
through today at Bee Creek Park in
College Station.
Other results Thursday: Stephen
F. Austin beat Sam Houston State,
8-1. Sam Houston had beaten the
No. 1-ranked team in the nation,
Texas Women’s University, 5-4,
Wednesday night.
TWU slipped by McNeese State,
7-4, and the University of Texas-
Arlington crushed West Texas State,
12-2.
TWU was scheduled to take on
UT-A in a late game Thursday.
Several games scheduled for
Thursday afternoon were delayed
several hours due to rain, and thus
the games have been moved up all
the way through to the finals, which
will be held tonight.
Texas A&M’s defeat of Oklahoma
pits them against Oklahoma State
University today.
Aggie coach Bill Galloway has
labeled OSU as the “team to watch”
in the tournament, saying, “They
will definitely be the sleeper, they
have a good team.”
The Aggies’ win in the double
elimination tournament Thursday
was hard-pressed.
The one hit, a third-inning single
by Carrie Austgren, didn’t even re
sult in the lone Aggie run.
The run came on an error and a
wild pitch.
In the second inning, Rhonda
Reese reached on an error, and
Sarah Sheldon ran for her. Sarah was
sacrificed to second, then to third,
and finally scored on a wild pitch.
Only three Aggies reached base
during the game — Rhonda Reese in
the second (error), Carrie Austgen in
the fifth (single); and Lori Stoll in the
sixth (error).
Aggie winning pitcher Lori Stoll, a
freshman from Lee’s Summit, Mo.,
allowed five hits and struck out five
in the game, and walked one. She
was never in serious trouble, and has
now lowered her Earned Run Aver
age to 0.35, and has a record of 19-2.
Texas A&M’s spring record is now
38-7, and their overall record (spring
and fall) is 65-14.
The Aggies are ranked second in
the country. Oklahoma State is rank
ed tenth.
In Division 2 action Thursday,
only one game could be played.
Northeast Louisiana blanked North
west Louisiana, 8-0.
Today’s games:
Stephen F. Austin plays Sam
Houston at 10 a.m.; OU plays the
loser of Thursday’s TWU-UT-A late
game at 10 a.m.; Texas A&M plavs
OSU at noon; Baylor
Wesleyan at 8:30 a.m. in Dili]
action, along with Central!
Oklahoma against
Louisiana.
Texas A&M ace Shan McDi
17-5, will pitch for the Aggies;
Ags lose game,
but TAMU wins’
The Texas A&M University baseball
team lost to the San Antonio Dod
gers in a close exhibition game April
9. The loss didn’t affect the Aggies,
because it didn’t count in the stand
ings. The University, however, is
richer because of the game.
Three San Antonio Aggie groups
— the San Antonio A&M Club, The
Aggie Wives’ Club and the A&M
Mother’s Club — were given 100
percent of all the gate receipts from
the game by the owner of the Dod
gers.
Wally Moon, president of the
Dodgers (the farm club of the major
league Los Angeles Dodgers), and
Bob Farmer, vice-president of Sig-
mor Corporation presented Bob
Dobbins, president of the Texas
A&M San Antonio chapter, a check
for $1,500 for the San Antonio A&M
Scholarship Fund. All three men are
former Texas A&M students.
Also, the officials offered an extra
$1,500 for the organizations if over
3,000 attended the game. Over
4,000 attended.
The game, played at Keefe Sta
dium at St. Mary’s University in San
Antonio, was considered a practice
game, and non-existent as far as re
cords were concerned.
At this point in the season,
strangely enough, the San Antonio
Dodgers are leading their division in
the Texas League by two games over
Amarillo.
The Aggies have finished a suc
cessful season, qualifying for the
SWC tournament to be held in mid-
May. It’s success all the way around.

DALLAS — John McEnroe de
scribes this as an “up and down year”
so far. It was Heinz Gunthardt’s mis
fortune Thursday to catch McEnroe

pion, overwhelmed Gunthardt in
the most one-sided and one of the
fastest matches in the history of the
World Championship Tennis Finals,
6-0, 6-0.
