Bamberger, who had been the first choice of Mets General Mana ger Frank Cashen after Joe Torre was fired, said he would accept the position in a phone conversation from his home in St. Petersburg, Fla. His contract will be for an estimated $200,000. The Mets scheduled a news conference for 11 a. m. EDT today to introduce their new manager. Torre, after managing the Mets for 4V2 years, was let go on the final day of the season, Oct. 4. Cashen approached Bamberger, who left the Milwaukee Brewers last year because of heart problems, when the Brewers were knocked out of the American League pennant race. Following his major heart surgery, Bamberger claims he is now in good health, saying, “There is no problem with my health. I feel fine and the doctors say I’m in excellent shape.” “Bambi,” as he is known, is 56 and has long been a popular base ball figure with a folksy manner.

Real Rock ’n Roll Real Rock ’n Roll Real Rock r ELECTRIC COWBOY m lif By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB Battalion Staff For two days, it looked as if the Texas Association of Intercollegi ate Athletics for Women state championship softball tournament would never end. The weekend’s rainy weather caused several of the tourney’s games to be rain-delayed, only postponing for more than 24 hours the championship that awaited the top-seeded Texas A&M Universi ty women’s softball team. Texas A&M won four of its five games in the double-elimination tournament, winning the state ti tle for the third year in a row. After winning their first game, the Aggies fell into the losers’ bracket when they lost to Sam Houston State University in their second game of the tourney. However, Texas A&M came back to defeat SHSU twice Sun day, giving the Aggies the state championship and a 36-3 fall sea son record. The Aggies now begin off-season workouts, returning to action in March for the spring schedule. Texas A&M played West Texas State University in the first game Friday afternoon, but the game was called in the fourth inning be cause of rain. The Aggies and freshman pitcher Lisa Martinez led 6-1 at that point, but because of the wet fields at Conroe’s Mont gomery County Sports Complex, the two teams weren’t able to complete the game until Saturday afternoon. Texas A&M scored two more runs Saturday to win 8-1, with Martinez pitching a one- hitter and hitting a three-run home run. The Aggies didn’t play another game until 11:30 that night, when they played SHSU in another rain-delayed game. With SHSU leading 1-0 in the sixth inning, a cold front brought winds and rain to the Conroe area, forcing the umpires to call the game. The two teams resumed play again Sunday afternoon, and the Lady Kats finished with the 1-0 win. Aggie pitcher Lori Stoll lost the game, giving up five hits and striking out seven. The loss forced the Aggies into the losers’ bracket, meaning they had to defeat SHSU twice to win the tournament. In the next game, Texas A&M defeated the University of Texas at Arlington 1-0, as Stoll picked up the win. The Aggies had six hits, with Iva Jackson and Eya Resen- dez having two hits apiece. That win set the stage for what might have been the Aggies’ last game in the tournament if they had lost. But Texas A&M beat SHSU 4-0 behind the one-hit pitching of Shan McDonald, while the Aggies totaled eight hits. In the tournament’s final game, the Aggies defeated the Lady Kats again, this time by a score of 3-0. Martinez pitched another one- hitter and struck out 10, as Texas A&M scored all its runs in the seventh inning. The team played excellent de fense the entire tournament, with the most impressive play coming in the Aggies’ 1-0 loss to SHSU. The Lady Kats had runners on first and third in the sixth inning when Terri Young bunted a slow roller down the first baseline. Aggie first baseman Shannon Murray picked up the ball, and while falling to her knees, shoveled the ball to catcher Gay McNutt. The catcher tagged out SHSU’s Beth Smith at the plate and threw the ball to third, where alert leftfielder Jackson tag ged out the SHSU runner coming around from first base. The Aggies’ three-man pitching staff closes the fall season with a 0.21 ERA, with Martinez finishing 13-0, McDonald at 13-1 and Stoll at 10-2. The staff struck out 319 batters in 263 innings, while walk ing only 21 and giving up 13 runs. something for everyone in the Battalion Classified 845-2611 COWGIRL WITH THE BEST LOOKING LEGS CONTEST TONIGHT!
