Ags beat Tulane
with 10-run sixth
OPEN
Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM
QUALITY FIRST

Although the Tulane University
baseball team came into Tuesday
night’s Olsen Field double header
with a fine . 325 team batting aver
age, the Texas Aggies weren’t too
impressed.
And although seven of TU’s
starters in the first game were hit
ting above .300, the Texas A&M
baseball team obviously wasn’t
aware of it, or else it wouldn’t have
treated the Green Wave so
rpdely.

That is, if a 4-3, 11-1 sweep is
considered rude.
The Aggies’ bats were relatively
quiet in the first game, but in the
sixth inning of the second game,
someone must have commented
about their dormancy. His plan
worked, because a 1-1 tie became
an 11-1 Texas A&M lead so fast
that he didn’t even have a chance
to retract his comment.

Rodney Hodde’s grand slam
was only part of the sixth inning
outburst which saw 13 Aggies
come to the plate, and only part of
a game which saw every Aggie
who played score at least one run.
Robert Slavens and David
Flores combined to pitch a five-
hitter, with Flores earning his
seventh win of the season against
three losses. The win was the
Aggies’ seventh in a row, and their
11th win in the last 13 games.
Although this series means no
thing to the Aggies and their SWC
tournament hopes, they played as
if the green and blue uniforms of
the Green Wave were really burnt
orange and white, surely in anti
cipation of this weekend’s all-
important series with the Univer
sity of Texas.
In the first game. Grant Priess’
three-run homer in the fifth gave
Texas A&M a 3-2 lead after TU
had scored two early runs. The
Aggies scored another run in the
sixth to take a 4-2 lead into the
final inning. TU scared Aggie re
liever Perry Swanson by scoring a
run to make it 4-3, but he retired
the final batter with the bases
loaded, earning his sixth save and
giving Marvin Keller his third win
in four decisions.
In the second game, Billy Can
non led Texas A&M with a triple
and a double, while Priess had a
two-run triple in the Aggies’ big
sixth inning. Priess’ triple, the
Aggies’ 25th of the year, set a new
team record for triples in a single
season, breaking the old record of
24 set in 1971.
The Aggies play the Green
Wave again today at 1:00 in Olsen
Field.
