But, the toughest matchup of the year may come when Baylor romps into town April 24-25 for a three-day set. The Bears and the Aggies have much in common. Both are re lying on pitching and speed to get through the season, and both are supposedly on the weak side when it comes to hitting. And, both teams have the capa bility to be very, very good. Gone for the Bears, 25-19 in 1980, are four-time all-Southwest Conference third baseman Fritz Connally, all-SWC catcher Gene de los Santos, shortstop Matt Schaper and outfielder Greg Pen nington. That quartet accounted for 12 total letters and 83 of Baylor’s ex tra base hits in 1980. “You don’t replace players like those immediately,” Head Bears Coach Mickey Sullivan said. “We’re looking for our pitchers to keep us in the games this year and hope good things start to happen. But we may actually be a year away with the amount of inexperi ence on this squad.” But should those inexperienced members mature quickly, it could be a fine year for the Bears. The mound will provide Baylor’s best hope, with juniors Lee Tunnell, 8-3 last year and Jer ry Arnold, 6-5, back to lead the way. Both had seven complete games. However, Tunnell broke his left collarbone in a skiing accident and will perhaps see his first action Friday. “Both Tunnell and Arnold are potential all-conference pitchers,” said Sullivan. “Lee finished the fall as our number one pitcher and I think Jerry has a good chance to be a pro prospect when he finishes at Baylor. “Lee will probably lose about a month and a half s work. What is so bad about the injury is that Lee is a power pitcher and it will take more time for him to get back into the swing than it would a finesse- type pitcher.” SMU, whose program folded last season, sends pitcher Tim McLean to Baylor this year, and Sullivan plans on using him as a third hurler. Lettermen Paul Farmer and Brent Rasner are also back. “Tim will start the season as our third starter; he had an excellent fall,” Sullivan said. “But Rasner and F armer will get plenty of start ing appearances, so the rotation could change by the beginning of the conference season.” Barry Brown, who sat out 1980 with arm problems, Craig Hall, Vic Salvino, Jim Skeeler and freshman Wes Walker will each see duty during the grueling 51- game season. “One of the reasons for our high ERA (5.53) last year was that we didn’t have the pitching depth you need for the non-conference games,” Sullivan said. “In the past, we had eight or nine pitchers and we hope to have the same situation in 1981.” Around the mound, the pros pects for a set starting lineup are slim, with several players battling for everyday slots. 5 INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES I HOP S ALL YOU CAN EAT SPECIALS* MON: POLO KNIT SHIRTS Mesh Knits with matching colors or contrasting collar.
