Consistent play by team mem
bers en route to winning the
championship probably rein
forced Briggs’ feelings on the
overall quality of the team.
“Man for man I think we’re as
good as anybody in the nation,”
he said last week.
“You have to build up over a
period of time. This year we’ve
started at the right rate and
we’re going to peak at the right
time.”
The Aggies have only two
tournaments remaining this sea
son — the Southern Intercolle
giate, which will be hosted by the
University of Georgia May 6-8,
and the NCAA Tournament at
Pinehurst, N.C., May 26-29.

jPatti Holthaus had a perfect game from
atter’s box as the Texas Aggie softball
swept a doubleheader from St. Mary’s
iversity5-0, 10-3 Saturday in San Antonio.
[ggie batters had their hottest day of the
n, connecting on 29 of 67 at bats for
a team average of .433, as Stoll and
McDonald continued to dominate
the mound.

continue to really be on a rampage.”
In the first game, the Aggies spread out
their five runs over four innings as four
players batted .500 or better: lya Resendez
was two-for-two, Mary Lou Youngblood
went two-for-three and Josie Carter and
Karen Guerrero both connected on two of
four at bats.
One of Youngblood’s singles scored Re
sendez in the third inning for the Aggies’
first run, and a solo home run from Gay
McNutt in the fourth made the score 2-0.
Carter and Holthaus collected an RBI in
sixth and seventh innings as Texas A&M
posted three more runs for the 5-0 victory.
The second game was a case for the re
cord books. Rose Ruffino led off the game
with a single, and her teammates followed
with six more before St. Mary’s finally got a
batter out. By the end of the inning, Texas
A&M had gone through its entire lineup for
three runs.
Holthaus took over from there, hitting
the first of her four RBI on four at bats in
the third inning. A fourth-inning home run
from Youngblood, an unearned run by Car
rie Austgen and more RBI from Holthaus
highlighted Aggie scoring for the remain
der of the game.

OUSTON — Biff Pocoroba
he hit a fastball, but Dave
h, who threw it, said it was a
ige-up.
“At least I hope I can throw
er than that,” the Houston
Itcher said of the ball that
roba drove to the center-
wall to score the two runs
Bat gave the Atlanta Braves a
i-5 victory over the Astros.
No matter what Pocoroba hit,
|roduced the Braves 1 1th
ight victory since opening
K breaking the National
| igue record held by the 1955
loklyn Dodgers and 1962
Pittsburgh Pirates. It also tied
the major league record for
starting victories established by
the Oakland A’s last year.
The Astros and Braves were
deadlocked 4-4 with two on and
two out when Pocoroba was
summoned in the 8th inning to
hit for A1 Hrabosky, the ultimate
winning pitcher.
With the count 1-1, Smith
tried a change-up outside, he
said. Pocoroba connected solidly
and the red-hot Braves kept
their string alive.
“I should have pitched him
inside,” Smith said later. “I’d
thrown the first two pitches
away from him.”
But the Braves have everyone
they play second-guessing them
selves. Fvervthine the Atlantans
do seems to come out right,
Houston manager Bill Virdon,
however, pointed out that things
don’t go that way for 162 games.
Not that he is downplaying
the Braves. “I felt before this
season began that they could be
very tough if they got the pitch
ing,” he said. “We still have to
see how their pitching holds up
over a long distance.”
One thing Virdon wondered
was how the Braves will react
when inevitable difficulties
arise. “It seems to me there is a
lot of euphoria on the team to
have just played 11 games.” But
Joe Torre, the Atlanta manager,
contended after Sunday’s win,
“We still have out feet on the
ground.” It seemed to be a direct
answer, even if unintentional, to
Virdon’s assessment that the
Braves may be taking this high
ride too much to heart.
