Softball team takes Bears;
prepares for regional play
The Texas A&M softball team
closed out its regular season Satur
day with a double-header sweep of
Baylor, 10-0,10-1.
The Aggies, behind the strong
pitching performances from Lori
Stoll and Shan McDonald, all but
humiliated the Bears, holding
them to but one run and four base
hits for the series.
Stoll struck out nine and gave
up only two hits in the opener
which saw the Aggie bats come
alive, 10-0.
Nancy Sullivan connected on a
two-run homer in the second in
ning and Mel Pritchard contri
buted another in the fourth to
ignite the Aggies in the first game.
Maria Resendez and Karen
Guerrero each drove in two runs

finished the first game with seven
hits.
The Aggies continued their hit
ting in the nightcap, collecting
nine hits, including a run-scoring
triple by Pritchard in the first in
ning. Carrie Austgen had a two-
run homer in the second.
McDonald collected three
strikeouts while giving up only
two hits in the nightcap.
“They were both real good ball
games. We were concerned about
our hitting but we’re starting to
come around now,” head coach
Bill Galloway said. “Mel (Pritch
ard) and Carrie (Austgen) hit good
for us today.
We had two or three others per
form for us. Nancy had a big home
run for us. Baylor had two of the
better pitchers in the league and
we were able to hit them. I think
we are heading in the right direc
tion now,” he said.
The Aggies head to Shawnee,
Oklahoma for regional competi
tion next weekend where they are
seeded number one in the 10-
team playoff tournament.
“It’s a tough regional. Every
game means a lot more for us
now,” Galloway said.

The Texas A&M men’s golf
team came home from the South
ern Invitational Golf Tournament
in Athens, Ga. with a ninth-place
finish.
The Aggies finished in a tie with
the University of Texas and East
Tennessee State with a 54-hole
tournament score of 898.
North Carolina won the tourna
ment, played at the Athens Coun
try Club, with a three-round score
of 871, Florida was second at 874.
Gary Kreuger paced the
Aggies, finishing at 220 (67-77-76)
after burning the course with a
first-round score of 67. Brad Jones
was next at 223 (76-73-74), fol
lowed by Richard Cromwell (76-
76-74-226), Danny Briggs (78-75-
76-229) and Bart Cobb (79-74-79-
232).
“Gary had a super first round
but didn’t get any help from the
rest of the team, ” head coach Bob
Ellis said. “The second round was
mediocre, we were still in fairly
good shape but we let it slip aWay
in the third.
“The last day (third round) was
very mediocre. Danny (Briggs)
fought hard to keep us in it. He
birdied 8 and parred 9 but it was
not enough.”

United Press International
LOS ANGELES — T6nnis legend Billie Jean
King has admitted having a homosexual affair with a
woman several years ago, but she called it a “mis
take” and denied ever having promised the woman
financial support.
The surprising announcement came Friday in an
emotional news conference called by King to answer
allegations made in a lawsuit last week by Marylin
Barnett.
Barnett, 33, claimed she and the tennis player
became romantically involved in 1972 and lived
together in Malibu, Calif., and New York.
The Superior Court suit claims King promised to
give Barnett the Malibu home and financial support
in return for her services as secretary, cook, cleaning
lady, confidante and companion.
At the news conference. King was joined by her
husband of 19 years, Larry, and her attorney, Dennis
Wasser. She refused to disclose details of her
homosexual relationship with Barnett.
King, occasionally resting her head on her hus
band’s shoulder and appearing on the verge of tears.
spoke of the situation.
“Against the advice of my attorney, I have
this news conference, ” she said. “I felt very strong
about this. I’ve always been above board withii;
press and I will talk now as I have always talked,
my heart
“I did have an affair with Marilyn, butitwasove
quite some time ago. I’m very disturbed andshodtf
Marilyn would do this in such a selfish way.”
She and Wasser both emphatically deniedchatp
she had ever offered Barnett a home or financt
support.
TTie attorney said said he and the Kings wereinth
process of getting an eviction notice to remove Mb
Barnett from the premises.
King’s husband, also named in the suit, <
the news conference, calling it “a difficult timefo
Billie Jean, her family and friends.
“I have loved her dearly for 19 years,” he added
“and nothing will change that.”
Billie Jean said, “I’ve known for quite a wlilt
Marilyn was unstable. I made a mistake and Is
assume all responsibility for it from the fans.
Putnam s homer lifts
Rangers over Royals, 9-ti
United Press International
ARLINGTON — The Texas
Rangers’ Pat Putnam has faced
Kansas City pitcher Juan Bere-
nguer on two occasions and both
times he liked what he saw.
Putnam banged a 330-foot
home run off Berenguer to lead off
the 10th inning Sunday night, giv
ing the Rangers a 9-8 victory over
Kansas City.
The smash capped a frantic
Texas rally that saw the Rangers
score six runs in the final four in
nings.
“I wasn’t trying for the home
run. I was just trying to get a hit,”
said Putnam, who drilled a 3-2
pitch that struck the right field
foul pole and bounced fair.
Putnam said he faced Bere
nguer, now 2-2, one other time,
hitting a home run during spring
training.
“That time it was an off speed
pitch. No pitcher likes trying the
same thing twice,” Putnam said.
Texas scored twice in the first
when John Grubb, who has 15
RBI in his last 11 games, singled in
two runs, and made it 3-0 in the
second on Bump Wills’ sacrifice
fly.
Starter Ferguson Jenkins held
the Royals to four hits through five
scoreless innings, but was shelled
for five straight hits and four runs
before an out was made in the
sixth.
Sparking the Royals to a 7-3
lead, Hal McRae and Willie
Aikens had RBI singles and Amos
Otis a two-run double. Fra
White squeezed in a run an
Cesar Geronimo hit a twons
homer to make it 7-3.
“I went with him (Jenkins)
it was 5-3, but I didn’t knowtfe
next guy up would hit a tww
homer,” said Texas managerDoi
Zimmer. Jenkins was relievedk
Dave Schmidt and John Hein
Johnson, who combined to

Johnson, 1-1, got the victory.
Texas’ A1 Oliver cut the deli
to 8-5 with a two-run singli
seventh and Bump Wills tiedilis
the eighth when he singled to#
Putnam, capping a three-run si
burst.
Astros beat Pirates, 3-1
United Press International
PITTSBURGH — Pirates hur-
ler Jim Bibby Sunday confirmed
an old baseball adage: walk a
pitcher, it means a run. However,
Bibby added a new chapter: walk a
pitcher twice, it means the game.
Don Sutton, the Houston
Astros right-hander who was
issued a base on balls three times
in all, figured in his team’s first
two runs in the 3-1 win Sunday
over Pittsburgh.
Bibby, 1-1, handed Sutton a
free pass and an RBI in the second
inning. The bases happened to be
