Aggie baseball team stops
Louisiana Tech in twinbill
by Frank L. Christlieb
Sports Editor
Tom Chandler has watched
his team win its first eight games
of the season, but he’s not going
to predict any championships
yet.
“We’re playing pretty good
baseball,” Chandler said
Wednesday after his team swept
its fourth double-header of the
season, with this day’s victims
being the Louisiana Tech Bull-
dogs/
“We’re getting behind early
and coming back to win,”
Chandler said. “Today, I was
really worried about our pitch
ing. David Flores was getting the
ball up today. His ball was
straight, and it didn’t have any
zip on it.”
Zip or not, Flores and the
Aggies won both games from
the Bulldogs, 9-7, 10-2 in Olsen
Field. Louisiana Tech’s record
dropped to 4-6.
Texas A&M will play a dou
ble-header with South Alabama
Saturday at 1 p.m. in Mobile,
Ala., in its first road games of the

season.
Texas A&M’s Billy Cannon
hit a 400-foot, two-run homer in
the bottom of the seventh inning
to give the Aggies the victory in
the first game. Rock King, pitch
ing in relief, won his first game
of the season.
Buddy Aulds, 0-2, was the los
ing pitcher.
Catcher Joe Szekely led the
Aggies offensively, collecting
three singles in four trips to the
plate. Texas A&M, which had 11
hits to nine for the Bulldogs,
scored one run in the fourth in
ning, four runs in the fifth, and
two runs each in the sixth and
seventh innings.
In the fifth inning, shortstop
David Kennard led off with a
double, and was singled up a
base by third baseman Grant
Priess. After Szekely’s RBI sing
le brought in Kennard, leftfiel-
der Bobby Beach hit a triple to
bring in two runs. Pinch hitter
Ronnie Risinger scored Beach
on a double, ending the scoring
in that inning.
In the second game, Texas
A&M scored four runs in the
first inning. Risinger started the
inning with a walk and Kennard
hit an RBI triple to rightfield.
Priess singled in Kennard, and
Kevin Smith followed with a
two-run homer to make the
score 4-0 after the first inning.
Smith has three homers for
the season.
Aggie starting pitcher Steve
Davis pitched five innings, giv
ing up only five hits and one
run. Tom Krupa hit a home run
for the Bulldogs’ lone run off
Davis.
When Jack Miska relieved
Davis, Krupa hit another home
run to account for Louisiana
Tech’s final run.
In the fifth inning, the Aggies
scored their final six runs. Ken
nard walked and stole his fourth
base of the season, and Priess
walked to put runners on first
and second base. Szekely dou
bled to score Kennard, and Can
non’s three-run double gave the
Aggies their eighth run.
Beach doubled in Cannon,
and after Beach was wild pitch
ed to third, Risinger hit a sacri
fice fly to bring him in with the
10th run.
Davis won his second game of
the season and Bob Smith lost
his second game without a vic
tory.
For Texas A&M, Szekely,
Cannon and Brad Hisle had two
hits each, and the Aggies had 12
as a team.
Chandler said Priess and
Davis put in good performances
against the Bulldogs.
“Grant has made some good
plays at third base, and he’s hit
the ball well,” Chandler said.
“Davis had good stuff today.”
Chandler added that South
Alabama, coached by former
major leaguer Eddie Stanky, will
provide the Aggies with tough
competition.
“It’ll be a little more serious
test for us,” Chandler said.
