He was concen trating on the pitchers. No. 20 in the nation, coach Jan Cannon said, she wasn’t sur prised with her team’s good play. “We expected to win because North Texas only beat us 5-4 last year and we have a stronger team this year,” she said. The Aggies, who are usually strong in doubles play, lost two of three doubles matches but dropped only one singles match against NTSU. “We were 5-1 going into the doubles which is unusual for us. I think that shows we’re getting stronger in singles play,” Can non said. The Aggies have a 7-5 spring record and play Southern Methodist University here today at 1:30. Two of Tanner’s projected starters this year, John Cande laria and Don Robinson, are coming off injuries and are questionable. But they seemed fine in a 7-2 victory for Willie Stargell’s team over Bill Robin son’s team Monday at Braden ton, Fla. Candelaria, a 20-game win ner in 1977, underwent four months of therapy this winter to repair nerve damage in his left bicep. He retired three straight batters on nine pitches, striking out Dave Parker. Robinson, who underwent surgery last October for removal of bone chips in his right shoul der, retired three straight bat ters on pop-ups. Candelaria said he still does not have all his strength back, but Robinson reported that his velocity was as good as ever. “Fm real happy with the fact that John and Donnie threw the ball without any problems,” Tanner said. Calise hit a pair of two-run hom ers and Darrell Porter hit for the cycle Monday as a team compris ed mostly of St. Louis Cardinals rookies beat the regulars, 5-4, in a 10-inning game.
