The ipfodgrrs would have to sweep their 'MyJuee-ganic series against the Astros weekend to force a one-game playoff to decide the division. The ^^Bros can clinch the division by win- one of the three games. ^^Hoe Niekro, the Astros’ 21-game ^^Hner in 1979, struck out four and HBHked none to run his record to 19- 12 in his last scheduled start of the regular season. He left in the ninth after allowing a double to Gary Matthews. Joe Sambito relieved and surrendered an RBI single to Chris Chambliss before Frank LaCorte came on to record his 11th save by striking out Dale Murphy to end the game. Astros fielders Jose Cruz, Enos Cabell and Morgan each made spark ling defensive plays. Chambliss’ 17th home run of the season powered the Braves to a 1-0 lead in the second but Braves’ starter Larry McWilliams, 9-14, could not hold it. Woods, a right-handed hitter who has played only against left-handed starters, had not been in a game in seven days. On his second at-bat, he slammed an 0-1 McWilliams pitch above the left field fence. Rafael Landestoy and Alan Ashby followed with singles, and both moved up a base on Niekro’s sacrifice bunt preceding Morgan’s line drive single just out of the reach of first baseman Chambliss.

Cornerback Dan Davis said the team is pretty tired of sitting around and is prepared to play after a two- week lay-off. “We re ready to go out and get on the right track,’’ he said Thursday night. “If we win this One, we ll be tied for the (SWC) lead. If we really get up and get at ’em, we can beat ’em.” The Aggies will have some inex perience in the starting lineup, but Davis, a senior, offers a philosophical approach to that. “We’ve got some younger players starting, and some older guys on the second team now, ” he said. “At least Storage Space FOR RENT Secure • Well Lighted Various Sizes • Behind U-RENT-M in College Station The Storage Station 693-0551 we know we’ve got some capable backups.” Davis said the shock of the dismis sals because of alleged drug use by some members of the team has worn off. “Everybody carries the attitude that since we got a lot of publicity, we can go two ways; we can go our sepa rate ways or pull together and play some football,” he said.
