games this year and lost eight. His
earned run average was 4.50.
In six seasons with the Rangers,
from 1974 to 75 and again from
1978 to 1981, Jenkins had a 93-72
record.
The only blemish on Jenkins re

Softball team keeps rollin

Although Coach Bob Brock of
the Texas A&M University
women’s softball team has given
his freshmen a great deal of the
credit for the team’s 20-2 record,
the upperclassmen have played
important roles as well.
Names like Lisa Martinez, Iva
Jackson, Josie Carter and Gay
McNutt have been the most fre
quently mentioned names on the
team through the first four weeks
of the season. However, Brock
says the performances of the fresh
man players have overshadowed
the contributions of the veteran
players, who have silently led the
Aggies to their impressive record.
Brock cited the play of Shannon
Murray, Carrie Austgen, Karen
Guerrero, Patti Holthaus and
Mary Lou Youngblood as critical
to his team’s success. Murray re
cently had a cast removed from a
broken finger on her throwing
hand, and Brock is pleased with
the efforts she’s made since re
turning.
“Shannon has come back in the
last two tournaments, and is be
ginning to contribute again,’’
Brock said. “She’s coming on and
she’s doing a good job. She’s been
in a kind of cheerleader spirit role
(while not playing), but she’s real
ly come on.
“Mary Lou Youngblood has
been struggling all year and she’s
come out of it. Her fielding has
been perfect and she’s done a good
job. It’s really good to see her
break out of it now. The seniors
and our old hands are beginning to
come in and do well.”
Brock also praised the play of
Texas Women’s University trans
fer Linda Lancaster, who has play
ed first base and catcher after hav
ing played centerfield at TWU.
Although the offense had wor
ried Brock before the season
started, he doesn’t have too many
