Watching on the play are Aggies win twin-bill' despite no-hitter by NE Louisiana hurle; ^?1 by John Wagner Battalion Staff It always helps to have a little luck. The Texas Aggie baseball team survived two well-pitched games by the Northeast Lousiana In dians, one of them a no-hitter, and still came out with a sweep of the double-header to up its record to 4-0. Sounds unbelievable, right? no-hitter, and they still won? Believe it. The only difference between the Aggies and the Indians on this cold, unbaseball-like Saturday was that the Aggies had a little luck. The Indians had none. Texas A&M won the First game 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth when Ronnie Risinger dou bled in Mike Magee. Robert Frazier pitched well for the Indians, but he tired in the latter innings. The senior right hander threw 124 pitches, and it cost him the game. The Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 leat^in their half of the First, but Frazier settled down and held them scoreless for the next four innings. In the Fifth, with two men on, two outs and the Indians ahead 3-2, Frazier threw a wild pitch to Billy Cannon. Both runners advanced, Bobby Beach going to third and Kevin Smith moving to second. Frazier then balked, bringing Beach in to tie the score at 3-3. Cannon grounded out to end the inning. Titus Wells opened up the eighth with a shot down the third-base line that hit the base, bounced up, and hit the third baseman. Wells was safe at First. With no one out, Wells was caught trying to steal second. Frazier pitched out, and Juan Mendez threw Wells out with timed One out. Brad Hisle was the batter when W caught stealing, and he picked up hisstcoi le of the game with his hit into leitfield Magee reached First on a Fielder’s choict was forced out at second. Two outs. Risinger then hit the ball into right fj tween tne center and right Fielders to Magee. Robert Slavens got the win for the Aggie ing on in the sixth in relief of starter Ste« Slavens’ record is now l-0. The second game was one the Aggies; remember for a long time. It might note* pen to them again. Indian freshman Johnny Dickersonii no-hitter in his first start ever as a colltj player, but came upon the losing end ofth Wells again started off the inning than game for the Aggies. This time, Wells w lead off the fifth. Hisle grounded toseco Wells was safe when he broke up an at! force play. When catcher Scott Abel hit intoadoul Wells moved to third. He scored laterom ball for the Aggies’ only run. That was needed. Rick Luecken started the game for A&M, but lasted only four innings. Davit replaced Luecken for the final three innii K icked up his second win of the season ag >sses. The Aggies’ next contest is Tuesday wh play Centenary College in a double-heat p.m. in Olsen Field.
