The Owls won the first game of the three-game series 4-3 behind star hurler Matt Williams. Texas A&M rebounded Saturday to sweep the Owls in ballgames mar red by two bottle-throwing inci dents. The Ags won game one 3-1, coming from one run down late in the game on a home run by Kevin Smith. Rick Luecken got the win. Game two provided the most ac tion on and off the field, however. Early in the game, a crowd gathered beyond the left field fence and several beer-drinking Rice students gathered, often heckling the Aggie outfielders. In the second inning, leftfielder J.P. Bramhall jogged in from his posi tion to complain and hand the umpire a beer bottle that had sailed out of the group. The umpire warned the game would be forfeited to Texas A&M if any other trouble ensued. Later in the game with the Aggies up 7-2, another bottle landed near Bramhall, who re ported it again. The Aggies were pulled off the field and the bottle- thrower was arrested after a 30- minute chase by a policeman. Play continued and the Aggies took the win. Last Monday, the Ags returned to the more peaceful Pat Olsen Field and Bobby Taylor recorded the pitching staff*s first shutout as he blanked Texas Weslyan 8-0 on a five-hitter. Hodde had a two-run home run in that game. In the second game, a five-run TWU outburst in the top of the seventh sank the Aggies, 7-3. Tuesday, the Ags began some incredible successive late-inning heroics by scoring five runs in the last two innings to overcome Southwestern 11-8 in the first game of a doubleheader. Joey Szekely had a crucial homer in that game. In the second game, a controv ersial judgment by the unmpires against Southwestern and a two- run rally in the bottom of the seventh brought victory to Texas A&M again. In the sixth, Southwestern had scored two runs and were threatening again with two out and the bases loaded. Bryan Neal hit a sharp grounder to Clint Heard at shortstop. The ball went through his legs and trickled into left field, scoring two runs. However, the Aggies appealed that the second SWU runner didn’t touch third rounding the bag. The umpires agreed and both runs and the error were erased as the decision was made that the play was a force, thus it was the third out and neither run would count. The Southwestern coach was ejected during an argument after he kicked dirt on the umpire. In the bottom of the seventh, a double by Kevin Smith scored two runners and the Ags walked away with a 7-6 controversial win. Wednesday, the heroics con tinued.
