Then the Padres’ Terry Kennedy blasted a Niekro fastball over the right field wall in the top of the seventh for a 1-0 lead. The tension mounted. Houston’s chance to pick up a game on the red-hot Reds — they were losing to the Giants — was slip ping away. As Astros pitcher Joe Samhito observed, "I looked over in the San Diego dugout and they were walking around having a good time. They were loosey-goosey. They didn’t have anything to lose. Everybody in our dugout was at the railing with white knuckles.’ The last-place Padres had two runners thrown out by catcher Alan Ashby at second base and had three baserunners cut down in double plays. And in the first inning baserunner Gene Richards’ failure to slow down on the basepath to delay a tag at second base to end a double play cost a run. Juan Bonilla crossed home plate a second after Richards was tag ged out. Astros Manager Bill Virdon attributed the mistake to youth. "When he sees that play he’ll learn to slow down,” Virdon said. Despite the miscue, Samhito said he was impress ed by the Padres. vdVomen’s cross country team linishes third in Rice meet in w Trinitf ByCAYEDENLEY )si .1 6} Battalion Staff to },ile Texas A&M wide receiv- i and running hacks ran circles aiiloiAund the Ixiuisiana Tech secon- -AnAy the women on the Aggies Ik tork, country team plodded away 3. b-fyj third place finish in the Rice is Ix-tfritational in Houston Saturday, untzonu..

Sophomore Marilee Matheny ran the fastest time for the Aggies, tak ing fourth place with an 11:43, nine seconds ahead of teammate Barbara Collinsworth, who finished fifth. Senior Adelaide Bratten and sophomore Suzanne Sheffield posted times of 12:23 and 12:41, respectively, to give the Aggies 11th and 15th place points. Fresh man Kim Cloud, who Coach Bill Nix said was not feeling well be fore the race, placed 25th in the competition. "We had a good meet,” Nix said. "Individually, I am very', very pleased with what the first four runners did. In comparison to how we ran last year in the same meet, we ran very’ well.” Nix said it is difficult to log his team’s progress based on Satur day’s results because the Rice meet was the only two-mile race the Aggies have run this season. The first meet, hosted by the Aggies Sept. 18, was a 3.1-mile event, which is the usual distance for cross country competitions. Still, Nix said he is confident his runners will be ready for the TAIAW State Championship Oct. 31 in Denton. Texas JState o ETICAE Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired 216 N. MAIN BRYAN Mon.-Frl.

The Aggies handed top-rated Texas Lutheran College a pair of defeats, one in the preliminary' rounds and one in the finals, en route to a 5-0 tournament record and their first championship of the season. In the preliminary matches, the Aggies rolled over the University of Tulsa 15-3, 15-1, and West Texas State University 15-4, 15-2, nipping Texas Lutheran in be tween, 15-7, 18-16. Oral Roberts University was the next victim, dropping a three- game match to Texas A&M in the semi-finals, 7-15, 15-13, 15-11. The championship match, once again pitting the Aggies against Texas Lutheran, was a near re match of their preliminary- con test, with Texas A&M taking the game 13-15, 15-11, 15-7. “It was a great team effort and a big boost of confidence,” Coach Terry Condon said. "It was real good in that we went through ev erybody pretty easily - that is, we beat the weak teams easily and we played well enough w hen w'e had to to beat the hard teams.” Hitter Wendy Wilson and set ter Kristen Bloom, both seniors, led the Aggies’ improving offense, Condon said, while freshman Chemine Doty, a 6 middle block er, effectively neutralized Texas Lutheran’s main offensive threat, Olympian Patti Dowdell. Condon said she continues to be pleased with the Aggies’ unified play on the court, an element that had been missing in their per formance until last Wednesday’s win over Lamar University in G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Aggies take their six-game winning streak to Berkeley, Calif., Wednesday for the University of California Tournament. TANK MCNAMARA WA?

HE CAN KIStfUE HEISMAN GOODBYE... MX) MEAN THE FOUR INTERCEPTIONS IN LAST WEEK'S GAME ? Ranger bats come alive in win United Press International SEATTLE — Victory didn’t come easy for Texas despite a strong revival of Ranger hitting. “It was a pleasure to see some hits fall in for a change, but even so, we had to hang on for dear life,” observed Texas manager Don Zimmer after his team edged the Seattle Mariners 6-5 in the Kingdome Monday night. Over their previous six games, the Rangers had batted only . 202, but they pounded out 14 hits Monday, including shortstop Mark Wagner’s three-run second- inning double, the game’s deci sive blow. Texas left-hander Rick Hon- neycutt, a Mariner in 1980, posted his 11th win against six losses even though he gave up a three-run homer to Bruce Bochte, a two-run shot by Dan Meyer, and 10 hits in all over the first six innings. “Obviously, I wasn’t throwing all that many good pitches,” Hon- neycutt admitted. “But I got away with it thanks to the relief guys. ” The bullpen trio of Steve Com er, Mark Mercer and Jim Kern managed to hold Seattle scoreless after Bochte’s seventh-inning homer had brought the Mariners to wathin one run of the visitors. Kern pitched out of a bases-loaded situation in the eighth and went on to register his fifth save. Starter Glenn Abbott took the loss and is now 4-8. Pat Putnam singled, Jim Sund- berg doubled and Leon Roberts walked to load the bases in the Texas second. That brought Wag ner to the plate and he responded with a base-clearing double to right center. Seattle was never able to catch up, although Meyer stroked his third homer in the Seattle half of the inning following a single by Gary Gray and Bochte’s homer made it close again in the seventh. Buddy Bell was instrumental in building the Ranger lead further. His third-inning sacrifice fly drove in Mickey Rivers to make it 4-2 and his RBI single in the fifth in creased the margin to 5-2. Sund- berg’s run-scoring single in that inning drove in the final Texas tally. Seattle’s Tom Paciorek had two singles in four trips, raising his av erage to .327 and putting him in second place in the American League’s batting race behind the .338 of Boston’s Carney Lansford. The evening’s results left both clubs five games back of West Di vision leading Kansas City and all but mathematically efiminating them from the race for the top spot.
