Sooner split
A&M, Oklahoma divide twi-night double-header
by John P. Lopez
Battalion Reporter
The Aggie baseball team hit
three home runs, had 12 hits
and played errorless baseball
Tuesday but split a double-
header with the University of
Oklahoma. Texas A&M won the
first game 2-0 and lost the
second 6-3.
In the first game, Texas
A&M starting pitcher Rick
Luecken gave up only two hits,
struck out six and walked three.
In the second game, the Aggies
used five pitchers, who gave up
10 hits and five walks.
The Aggies scored their runs
in the first game when third
baseman Grant Priess hit a 400-
foot home run over the center
field wall to bring in Dave Ken-
nard, who reached first base on
an error by Oklahoma first base-
man Kerry Hargrove.
From that point on, Luecken
pitched 5% of no-hit ball and
Oklahoma pitcher Bob Straight
retired 10 straight Aggie batters
before giving up a triple to Billy
Cannon in the top of the fourth
inning.
Cannon’s triple was the 26th
by Texas A&M batters this year,
which ties the school record set
in 1981.
Oklahoma had a chance to
rally with one out in the seventh
when Luecken gave up a hit to
Sooner right Fielder John Rus
sell and walked First baseman
Kerry Hargrove. However,
Luecken Fielded a grounder to
throw Russell out at second and
struck out Greg Carlton to end
the game.
“Luecken had the best stuff
he has had all year,” Tom
Chandler, Texas A&M head
coach, said after the game.
Luecken agreed, saying he
felt better than he has all year.
“My fastball was working real
good,” he said, “It was my best
pitch tonight.”
Luecken picked up his third
win of the year against one loss.
Straight was the losing pitcher

Sooner hitters had hit the ball down
the third baseline, but when the ball
was called foul, Roberts disagreed, say
ing it should have been called fair.

for the Sooners.
In the second game the Texas
A&M pitching staff didn’t have
as much luck as Luecken, as the
First two batters in the Sooner
lineup reached base and even
tually scored.
Aggie starter Gerry Salinas
walked Gary Springer and gave
up an RBI double to Kevin Bates
to start the game. He then struck
out Donnie Graham for the first
out but walked Russell and Steve
Coleman to load the bases.
Salinas struck out Hargrove
for the second out but was pul
led from the game after giving
up a bases-loaded walk to Jay
Searcy for another Sooner run.
Sherman Corbett relieved
Salinas and retired the Sooners
after Richard Gudjo grounded
out to the mound for the third
out.
The Sooners scored another
run in the top of the second but
were countered by the Aggies in
the bottom of the inning, when
the first three batters for Texas
A&M scored.
Joe Szekely started the rally
for the Aggies by hitting the
second piten thrown by Oklaho
ma pitcher Bruce Hinz over the
left Field wall for his ninth home
run of the year. Buddy Haney-
reached First on an infield hit to
shortstop.
With Haney on first, Cannon
tied the game when he hit a line
drive homer that easily cleared
the 375-foot sign on the left field
wall.
The Sooners kept the Aggies
scoreless for the rest of the
game, however, and scored
another run in the fourth inning
and two in the seventh.
The winning pitcher for
Oklahoma was Hinz as Corbett
took the loss for the Aggies.
