Aggie Ladies dump Bears
by John Wagner
Battalion Staff
Something about Baylor Uni
versity brings out the best in the
Texas Aggie softball team. The
two teams had met five times this
year prior to Thursday night’s
double-header, and the Aggies
had won all five games.
So one could chalk up the
Aggies’ double-header sweep of
the Bears as tradition.
Or one could shrug it off as
luck.
Or maybe, if you believe in
such things, it’s a hex, a jinx, or
even voodoo.
But whatever it is, it works.
Seven games, seven Aggie vic
tories. And even more asto
nishing is the fact that in those
seven games, the Bears have yet
to score.
The Aggies have scored 22
runs to the Bears’ zero, includ
ing Thursday’s 5-0, 4-0 sweep at
Travis Field in Bryan.
' Lori Stoll pitched the first
game for Texas A&M, throwing
a one-hitter at the Bears while
striking out 10. Stoll has 101
strikeouts on the year, and has
given up 29 hits and 16 walks.
Stoll is now 11-0 with an ERA
of 0.35.
The Aggies’ were led offen
sively by Debbie Rollman and
Carrie Austgen, who both had
two hits in three at-bats. The
Aggies had seven hits in the first
game.
Josie Carter and freshman
Mary Schwind paced the Aggies
in the second game, picking up
five of the team’s nine hits and
knocking in two of its runs. Car
ter was 3-for-4 with one RBI,
and Schwind was 2-for-3, also
with one RBI.
Shan McDonald was the win
ning pitcher for the Aggies, giv
ing up six hits and striking out
seven. She is now 9-2.
McDonald has struck out 96
batters this year and given up 43
hits. Her ERA is 0.49.
The Aggies have a team bat
ting average of .298, and a field
ing average of .965 through 22
games.
Sue Lilley, the Aggies’ assis
tant coach, says there’s no magic
to the team’s success. It’s simply
hard work.
“We work on batting every
day,” she said. “And the bats are
really starting to ring.”
And Lilley said the play of
several freshman, a key factor in
the Aggies’ hopes for success,,
starting to come around
“They’re (the freshmet
progressing at a good rate,”ii
ley said. “We don’t haveast
lineup yet, and we’re moii'
people around, but mostofi
players are able to play am
where. At this point, I’dsi
we’re really pleased at
they’re coming along.
“The fall season is
show us who can do what
I’d say we have some prj-
talented athletes. We’re a it
versatile team.”

No, sir, Darrell Porter doesn’t lean on you like a lot of otli

That doesn’t mean he’s forgotten all about what happened
him. He’ll never do that — not after what he went through,

him is that he isn’t standing around taking bows for reaching
destination yet. He nearly destroyed himself a few years ago ini® by Ji
false euphoria of alcohol and drugs. He will remember how fan 'finish
slipped as long as he lives and how he somehow found enou; stand
inner strength to chart a new life for himself at The Meadow
Arizona in 1980.
The struggle isn’t over. Not by a long shot. He is resignedtoib
fact he’ll have to discipline himself the rest of his life.
Porter is an individual of unusual sensitivity. He appreciates
good fortune at being part of a ballclub like the St. Louis Cardim
a team that could be in the World Series in a few weeks if it does:
run into a mine field somewhere along the way.
But that possibility hasn’t become the driving force inhisl
Porter’s values have changed dramatically since his ordeali
relates to people much better than he ever did, which couldbei
reason the Cardinals’ 30-year-old catcher feels the compassion
does every time he sees another drug user in professional spor
coming out of the closet.
“It hurts me when I see them do that only because theydos
really know what they’ve got ahead of them,” Porter says. “Wlif sickn
they come out and say T did drugs and I quit, so I don’t ha«
problem anymore,’ I just shake my head. They have noideaint! A&M

Porter says it’s been over two years since he had a drink.
“The only thing that really tempts me is a glass of beer/’hesa
“I like beer, but I haven’t had one in over two years. The people:
The Meadows told me it’s dangerous and I believe themT
know, sometimes I’ll look at a glass of beer on one of those very
days and say to myself, ‘Oh, you can handle it,’ but then I all!
think about what those people told me. They said it’s not the
one that kills you, it’s the first one. I don’t want to takeach;
because I was as miserable a human being as I can possiblyimagi:
and I don’t want to be like that again.”
Darrell Porter looks like Clark Kent. Particularly when he
on his horn-rimmed glasses. He’s even built like Superman hull:
realizes he’s only mortal, and fallible enough to slip again, soIfj
guards against it as best he can by not taking that first badsli
And he’s happy. Perhaps happier than he’s ever been in his
now that he and his wife, Deanne, are the parents of a 5-month4
girl, Lindsey Deanne, their first child.
Porter said he didn’t know his wife when he had drinl
problems.
“I’m glad I didn’t,” he says.
Whitey Herzog, the Cardinals’ manager, says quite openly
he expected more from Porter with the bat this year butalsopall
out that despite his .230 average, Porter has made an impor«j|
contribution in keeping the Cardinals on top with his 45
10 homers.
