TCU baseball team looking good
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Battalion Staff
The TCU Horned Frogs 1981
baseball outlook is very promis
ing, something almost foreign to
the school.
Fifth-year coach Willie Max
well returns six of his top eight
hitters from the 1980 season that
saw the Frogs finish 19-28-2 for
the season, 7-14-2 (sixth place) in
Southwest Conference play.
That represents the best TCU
conference finish in five years.
And they consider that successful.
Of the 28 losses TCU suffered last
season, 14 of them were one-run
games.
Along with those returning.
Maxwell has brought in five junior
college transfers and a dozen
freshmen, and expects to top last
year’s performance to establish a
solid baseball tradition at TCU.
Pitching seems to be the big
question mark for the Frogs as
they lost their top two starters to
graduation. But TCU has several
capable pitchers in senior right
hander Greg Meyer (8-8, 5.47
ERA) and juniors Glen Pierce and
Chris Leiss. Juco transfer Greg
Moore could possibly break into
the starting rotation.
The Frogs, however have only
one proven lefthander in Mark
Heinitz (0-1, 9.45 ERA). Juco
transfer David Shelbum will see
some action. Freshmen Jeff Long
and Mark Strickland are expected
to serve as backups.
“The jury is probably still out on
just how good our pitching is going
to be this season, but I’m confi
dent we’ll be good enough to win, ”
Maxwell said.
Steady Eddie Pereira returns as
team co-captain and starting
catcher. Pereira is a proven defen
sive player but can hit (.311) as
well.
First base is one of the positions
still up in the air. Third baseman
Carlos Barrett (.308) may get the
nod but will have to fight off soph-
omore gridder Steve Stamp
(.308), who saw plenty of action
there last season.
Senior co-captain Trey Brooks
(.276) has second base tied down,
having moved there from short
stop.
“Trey’s a natural second base-
man and that was his position in
high school. He feels more com
fortable there,” Maxwell said.
Juco transfer Warren Oliver
may see some action at second as
well, but seems to have the short
stop position anchored.
Last season’s starting second
baseman, Steve Mariz (.317) has
moved over to third base and will
probably start there. Carlos Bar
rett may also figure in at third.
Gone are rightfielder Scott
Ringnald and centerfielder Don
Peterson, who led the team in hit
ting (.361 and .345 respectively).
But the outfield positions seem se
cure in the hands of centerfielder
Luis Rojas (.272) and leltfielj

Myers, Haller are put out
over SWC tourney losses
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Texas Tech
coach Gerald Myers and Baylor
coach Jim Haller were bothered
by their respective losses Thurs
day at the Southwest Conference
Championship tournament.
For Myers it was his players,
and for Haller it was his team’s
schedule.
Myers said it was the way his
players shot and ran, or didn’t run,
in the final moments of their 66-58
loss to Texas.
“I was disappointed in the way
we played the last half of the
second half,” Myers said. “I was
proud of the way our guys came
back in the first half, but we just
couldn’t keep it.”
Texas center LaSalle Thomp
son, the games’ leading scorer
with 21 points and 13 rebounds,
agreed with Myers.
He said some of the Texas Tech
players were tired in the second
half.
“(Clarence) Swannegan got
tired and started missing his shots,
and he was tired on defense,”
Thompson said. “When that hap
pened, he started playing behind
me instead of in front. ”
Swannegan, a freshman center
who showed muscle under the
backboards against a more experi
enced Thompson, scored six of his
eight points in the opening mi
nutes of the second half, expand
ing the Texas Tech one-point half
time lead to five points.
After Swannegan’s scoring ex
plosion, he put up few shots.
But Swannagan wasn’t the only
Texas Tech player who slowed
down. The team attempted 24
shots in the second half compared
to 32 in the first period.
For Baylor’s Haller, it was the
final two weeks of the season in

He thought it left his players
rusty against a hot-handed Texas
Christian team which took the
Bears’ post-season hopes by a 56-
47 margin in the quarterfinals.
Haller said the Horned Frogs
deserved to beat Baylor in the
tournament’s second round.
“They (the Bears) were less
sharp tonight than any other since
Christmas,” Haller said. “I don’t
recall a game this year when we
had so many shots go in and out.
You make your breaks and we just
didn’t.”
