Aggies complete series sweep
By RICHARD OLIVER
Battalion StafF
The magic continued Tuesday
for the Texas A&M University
baseball team as it swept a double-
header from scrappy Oklahoma
City University, 7-6 and 7-0.
The “Comeback Corps” did just
that once again in the last inning of
the first game, scoring two runs to
slip past the Chiefs for the second
game in a row.
the year, over the left field fence
to cut the Chiefs’ lead to 6-5.
In the bottom of the seventh,
Terry Lawrence led off with a
walk, was advanced to second on a
single by Cannon and both run
ners advanced a base on a sacrifice
bunt by Bramhall. After Kennard
was intentionally walked with two
outs to load the bases, Rodney
Hodde looped a curving double
down the left field line to score the
Texas A&M is now 20-10 on the
season.
The Aggies entered the sixth in
ning of the first game behind 6-2
after a two-run home run in the
fourth inning by Mark Andrus off
of Texas A&M starter Bobby
Taylor widened OCU’s lead.
In the sixth, J.P. Bramhall took
his 36th walk of the year, David
Kennard singled and Monday’s
hero Tim Boyes lined a three-run
homer, his fourth round-tripper of
winning runs.
Perry Kilgo, 1-1, took the win in
relief of Taylor and second pitcher
Marvin Keller.
In game two, the Aggies rode
the suddenly rejuvenated arm of
David Flores to a 7-0 triumph.
Flores, 3-2, who entered the game
with a 7-plus ERA, stymied OCU
on just two hits through six innings
before tiring and removing him
self from the contest prior to the
seventh. Francis “B.B.” Schott

seventh as the Aggies won their

fourth straight after losing three to
TCU in Fort Worth last weekend.
The Aggies tallied four runs in
the third inning of the nightcap,
including an impressive display of
baserunning by freshman Billy
Cannon.
Cannon walked with one out,
then stole second and third base
before scoring on a wild pitch.
Bramhall then walked and Ken
nard stroked a single, moving
Bramhall to third. A sacrifice fly
by Boyes scored the Ags’ second
run and Rodney Hodde doubled
in Kennard. A following RBI dou
ble by designated hitter Joey
Szekely completed the four-run
inning for the Aggies.
Two doubles by Cannon and
shortstop Kennard accounted for
another Texas A&M run in the
fifth, and a single by Cannon, a
walk to Bramhall and a single by
Kennard scored another run in the
seventh inning. A throwing error
by OCU left fielder Bob Gergen
allowed Bramhall to also score on
the play, putting the Aggies ahead
7-0.
Flores, who also pitched well
against TCU last Friday, allowing
only one earned run in 7V3 innings
of work despite losing the game
4-0, will pitch the first game of a
doubleheader against Houston
Saturday, Head Aggie Coach Tom
Chandler said after the Tuesday
twinbill.
“Earlier in the year he wasn’t
throwing his curve,” Chandler
said. “He just had to do some
thing. They (opposing batters)
were just sitting back waiting on
his fastball. I’m going to change
the rotation a bit this weekend.”
The Aggies enter a crucial
three-game Southwest Confer
ence series with the Cougars Fri
day in Houston beginning at 3
p.m. with a nine-inning contest. A
twinbill will be played Saturday
starting at 1 p.m. at Cougar Field.
Rick Luecken, 5-1, will start Fri
day’s game, with Flores and a
third starter to be named later
going on Saturday.
With the sweep Tuesday of
OCU, the Aggies completed a
four-game domination over the
Chiefs, who entered the series
with a fine 16-8 record.
On Monday, Steve Davis, 3-0,
pitched four innings of no-hit ball,
ending up with a four-hit, 8-1 vic
tory. The Aggies scored four runs
in the bottom of the seventh in
Monday’s nightcap to win 9-8 on a
single by Boyes.
Boyes, whose three-run homer
put the Ags back into the first
game Tuesday after falling behind
early, said he wasn’t sure if the
line drive shot was going to clear
the fence.
“I hit it hard,” he said, “but I
didn’t really think it was going out.
I hit a lot of good balls at TCU, but
right at people. I’ve been hitting
hard, though. I came out early to
day with Billy Cannon to take
some batting practice.”
The first game of the double-
header was delayed 45 minutes
due to a persistent drizzle, and
batting practice for both teams
was cancelled, but the Aggies
were not affected as they stroked
17 hits during the afternoon.
Clearing skies in game two work
ed positively as Texas A&M had 10
hits.
Cannon, who played shortstop
in the first game and was placed in
center field in game two, said he
thinks the four-game sweep may
be just what the doctor ordered.

this weekend),” he said. "We
were fired up for every game of
this series, standing up in front of
the dugout and everything.”
Flores said he didn’t feel right
on the mound most of the after
noon.
“My ball was really moving
good,” he stressed, “but I felt
sluggish out there. It was really
humid and I just had to wait and
see how long I could last. I was
sweating and hot and that worked
for me, though.
“I’ve got some confidence
now. ”
The Aggies, 2-4 in SWC play
but 18-6 in non-conference action,
could use that confidence going
into the three-game tilt versus the
Cougars.
Chandler, who has used pri
marily Flores, Luecken and
Slavens on the mound in confer
ence action, may have a tough de
cision to make on a third starter
this weekend due to the early in
effectiveness of Slavens this year.
The recent successes of Davis and
Perry Swanson, 1-2, will be factors
in his decision.
“I don’t know who we’ll start
this weekend,” Chandler said,
“we’ll just have to wait and see.”

HOUSTON — A Houston Oil

day reiterated his demand to be
traded and said he would no lon

team by visions of a Super Bowl
championship.
He blamed what he perceived
as tight-fisted front office policies

NFL playoffs the past three sea-

to stick around because we were

“I just felt the Oilers had the

the Super bowl, but financially I
really don’t think they were trying
