Taylor, Corbett pitch 2-hitters
A&M beats Oklahoma City
by Denise S. Sechelski
Battalion Staff
Aggie pitcher Bobby Taylor
says there’s been a black cloud
hanging around the baseball
team lately and that he just
wants to help the team in any
way he can.
The right-handed senior suc
ceeded in helping the Aggies
win 2-0 Monday as he pitched a
two-hit shutout against the
Oklahoma City Chief's in the
first game of a double-header in
Olsen Field.
“We’re all pulling together
and we’re trying the best we
can,” Taylor said after his seven
inning victory. “It’s a team sport,
you know.”
Taylor, coming back after
being in a car accident, retired
12 consecutive batters before
giving up a lead-off single to
Bob Gergen in the Fifth inning.
“I wantedjust not to walk any
body so I could get myself back
in the rotation,” Taylor said. “I
just wanted to throw strikes and
get the ground balls. I throw
mostly sinkers and sliders and
I’m basically a ground ball
pitcher.”
Taylor proved that he could
force the Chiefs to hit groun
ders, as 16 of the 22 Oklahoma
City batters that came to the
plate were put out on ground
balls hit to Aggie infielders.
Coach Tom Chandler said
Taylor’s performance was “one
of the best of the year” and that
an unusual wind helped the
pitching.
“The wind was blowing
straight in from center field,”
Chandler said, “and that helped
make it a pitcher’s night.”
Taylor said: “I wanted to use
the wind to my advantage. I also
wanted to use our defense to my
advantage. Nobody’s said it in a
long time, but te have a damn
good defense.”
Losing pitcher Danny High
tower, 4-4, pitched the entire
game for the Chiefs and gave up
two runs and six hits.
Third baseman Clint Heard
led the Aggies with three hits in
three times at bat, and shortstop
Dave Kennard went 2-for-3.
The Aggies scored in the
second inning when first base-
man Buddy Haney hit a sacrifice
fly to center field to score Ken
nard from third. In the bottom
of the third. Heard hit a bunt
single and stole second base. De
signated hitter Titus Wells
walked and Heard stole third on
a pick-off attempt to first. Ken
nard singled in Heard to give
the Aggies their final run of the
game.
The Aggies won the second
game 6-1 and both starting
pitchers went the entire game.
Sherman Corbett, 4-2, was the
winning pitcher for the Aggies
and gave up one run on two hits.
Texas A&M had six runs on
six hits with no errors. Joe
Szekely hit his l()th home run of
the year in the first inning with
Grant Priess on base. In the
second inning, Heard tripled in
Kevin Smith then scored on a
wild pilch to give the Aggies a
4-0 lead.
Wells sacrificed to right field
to score Kennard in the fif th in
ning and the Aggies’ final run
came in the sixth on a fielder’s
choice grounder by Brad Hisle
that scored Bobby Beach.
Pitcher Bobby Taylor follows through
after a pitch during the Aggies’ 2-0
victory in the first game of Monday’s
staff photo by Eric Mitchell
double-header with Oklahoma City. The
Chiefs had only two hits off Taylor in
the game. Texas A&M is 25-11-1.
