Aggie softball team begins
spring season with 4 wins
The Texas A&M University
women’s softball team began its
spring schedule this past
weekend, and of course that
means a few more victories
appeared under its belt.
The pitching duo of Shan
McDonald and Lori Stoll were vir
tually untouchable once again as
they only allowed one run in four
games at Bee Creek Park in Col
lege Station in front of approxi
mately 150 fans.
Friday evening, the Ags swept
Texas Woman’s University, 3-0
and 1-0, the latter being a 17-
inning affair which was started and
finished by Stoll, the 1980 Texas

In that game, Stoll struck out 19
batters and allowed 11 hits. In the
final inning. Melody Pritchard
walked and took second on a single
by Pam Whigham. Maria Resen-
dez walked to load the bases and
tall Nancy Sullivan smacked a tri
ple by the drawn in outfield to win
the game.
In the first game, McDonald
was superb, allowing only four hits
in a 3-0 win. She also did not allow
a ball to be hit out of the infield.
The game began for the Aggies
with a bunt single by Karen Guer
rero and a following two-run home
run by Carrie Austgen. Melody
Pritchard tripled later and scored
on a past ball.
Saturday, Stoll and McDonald
won their second games each as
the Ags swept UT-Arfington, with
McDonald allowing only four hits
again and striking out six in the
first game. Rhonda Reese plated
both runs with a pair of singles as
Texas A&M won 2-1.
The Aggies will go to Denton
Friday for two games with TWU,
and will then jaunt on over to
Arlington for a doubleheader
against UTA Saturday.

Ags gain split with NEL
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
David Flores was perplexed.
The Texas A&M sophomore
pitcher walked slowly back from
the right field bullpen following
the first game of Saturday’s dou
bleheader against Northeast
Louisiana.
Flores lasted just TVs innings
in that game, giving up eight
hits and nine runs, seven of
them earned, as the Ags lost
game 9-7.
He sat down on the bench. “I
just couldn’t get it together to
day,” he said.
He was not alone. The Aggie
pitching, which has been
labeled as the Ags’ main asset,
fell apart in the four-game series
with the Indians, allowing 26
runs in 28 innings. In the
second game of Saturday ’s dou
bleheader, however, a bright
spot appeared on the mound for
Texas A&M, as junior left
hander Steve Davis, who
appeared in only three games
and 11 innings last season, went
nearly four innings without
allowing a NEL baserunner. In
the fifth inning, Davis tired and
allowed four runs to score on a
grand slam by NEL’s Jay
Branham. He got the win,
though, as the Aggies erupted
for 15 runs to win 15-5.
The best pitching perform
ance of the weekend was turned
in by Ag hurler Rick Luecken,
1-0, in the first game Friday.
The Houston sophomore went
five innings, allowing only five
hits and no runs and struck out
eight. The Aggies won that
game, 8-3. NEL won game two
Friday, 11-0, coming from be
hind with four runs in the
seventh inning off of reliever
Perry Kilgo, 0-1.
Although the 2-2 season slate
Steve Davis
Tim Boyes
thus far is a trifle surprising, and
the pitching has been less-than-
expected, Chandler saw several
bright spots, especially in the
hitting.
“It’s (pitching failure) just
hopefully that Northeast
Louisiana has outstanding hit
ters,” he said. “Davis got a little
pop in his fastball and did a good
job. It’s just going to be a tough
struggle all year long if the
pitching doesn’t come around.
“(Terry) Lawrence and (Billy)
Cannon impressed me,” said
Chandler. “We can run those
bases. (Joey) Szekely’s gonna be
somethin’.”
The Aggies were indeed im
pressive on the bases and hit
ting.
But it was freshman Billy
Cannon, the man Chandler says
he’s bringing along very slowly,
who provided the fireworks
both on the bases and at the
plate. In the sixth inning of
game two Saturday, Cannon
capped off a six-for-15 series
performance with a tremendous
400-foot home run over the left
field wall. Cannon also had five
RBIs and scored an amazing
seven runs in the series.
Other players to watch:
— Center fielder Lawrence
hit a home run in game two,
knocking in nine runs in the four
games and scoring five. He also
had a triple and a stolen base.
— Third basemen Tim Boyes
hit a home run in game one
Saturday and knocked in five
runs over the series. He also
scored five times and had a
stolen base.
— Catcher Szekely hit three
triples in the four games and
had one double. He knocked in
four runs and scored two.
— First baseman Rodney
Hodde, who Chandler calls the
team’s “bread and butter man, ”
had an impressive series at the
plate despite a pulled groin
muscle suffered in the first
game. The senior slugger had
four hits in just five plate
appearances, including a dou
ble, two RBIs and three runs
scored.
— Senior left fielder J.P.
Bramhall had three stolen bases
in game one Friday, and at the
plate he drew eight walks in the
series. He also scored six times
and had four RBIs.
In game two Friday, sopho

Turnovers and inconsistent play doomed the
Aggie Ladies as the team dropped the final two
games of the season at G. Rollie White Coliseum
over the weekend.
The Ags lost to Nebraska 71-64 in a tough battle in
which the Ags matched the Cornhuskers in the
second half. Twenty-five turnovers hurt the Aggies
chances as Nebraska turned the ball over only 16
times.
Neither team was able to shoot well throughout
the game. Even though the Ags out-rebounded Neb
raska 54 to 43, the did not shoot well enough to take
advantage of their chances.
The leading scorer for the Ags was Tammy Grafton
with 12. She was followed by Cathy Fuller and Kel
ley Sullivan with nine points apiece and Trigg Craw
ford with eight.
Nebraska was led by Kathy Hagerstorm and Janet
Smith with 16 points apiece.
If the Ags were doomed in the Nebraska game
because of turnovers, they were devastated in the
Rifl
Houston game. The Ags suffered 32 to the Cong!
19. Most of the turnovers were due to the quid
of the Cougar guards. They intercepted poorAgj

MAKE THE HOME TEAM AND
GET $4,000 FOR COLLEGE
Teaming up with your local Army Reserve unit really pays off. If you’re a high school
diploma graduate and qualify, you may be able to get up to $4,000 in educational aid for
college. Or an enlistment bonus of $1,500, whichever you prefer. And you can learn a
valuable skill, too. Giving your “home team” a hand part-time can mean an extra $1,000
the first year. You can even begin while you’re still in high school, if you’re 17 or older and
meet other enlistment qualifications. For details, stop by today.
