Aggie third baseman Tony Metoyer tags an unidentified runner during the second game of Saturday’s double-header against the Southwestern Pirates. The Aggies split two games with Southwestern, losing the first game 4-3 and winning the second 12-0. DM \gs split two with Southwestern vt by Scott Griffin Battalion Reporter spite his team’s split in iatfarday’s double-header with ■thwestern, Texas A&M jfj^ball coach l orn Chandler I^Bribed the Aggies’ overall Lounge >en brmance as a good one — .fJMadded that the players were llittle tight" in the lirst game. ■Southwestern won the first nHte 4-3, but the Aggies came 1 Bt to def eat the Pirates in the liglacap, 12-0. ' LOUnOef 1 he Pi rates jumped out to a ||U(k lead in the first inning of lie opening game, with Aggie iitdier Rick Luecken giving up a two-out walk to designated hit ter Pat Neuendorff. Phillip Wellman then reached first on an error by Aggie second base- man Clint Heard. Danny Mick- an singled to score Neuendorff and give Southwestern a 1-0 lead. The Pirates struck again in the third when Neuendorff walked and Wellman homered off Luecken. While Luecken struggled in the early innings, the Aggie offense was sputttering, hitting the ball hard, but right at Pirate defenders. In the fourth, it looked as if the Aggies might put something together. Heard, who finished the game with two of the Aggies’ six hits, tripled to right to start the inning. First baseman Bud dy Haney then singled to right to score Heard. After Billy Can non flied out, Don Robison sing led, putting Haney in scoring position. Pirate pitcher Terry Knobel ended the inning, however, get ting the next two batters to fly out. The Aggies never threatened again, with Knobel stifling batters with various off- speed pitches. Chandler said that Knobel’s pitching confused the Aggies and that he did a good job of getting the batters to chase pitches that were out of the strike zone. The nightcap was quite a dif ferent story, however. Texas A&M f inished the game with 14 hits and pounded Pirate starting pitcher Jeff Livin with eight runs in the first two innings. Third baseman Tony Metoyer and catcher Ron Devereaux each homered for the Aggies, who scored in four of six in nings. Devereaux’s shot was a in- side-the-park blast to center field. Left-hander Sherman Cor bett and reliever Barry Smith quieted the Pirate offense, allowing only six hits. Corbett collected the win, his first of the year, while Livin, now 1-1, suf fered the loss for the Pirates. About the overall perform ance this weekend, Chandler said: “I was especially pleased with the defense and our pitch ing. If we can just be consistent with good pitching and solid de fense, we’ll be OK.” The Pirates’ record now stands at 5-1, while the Aggies are 1-1 on the year. Texas A&M will travel to St. Mary’s for a 1 p.m. Wednesday matchup and will return to Olsen Field next weekend to play Hardin-Simmons. Corbett and Luecken will pitch on Wednesday, with senior right hander Robert Slavens and freshman southpaw Scott De skins getting the call for the weekend. t jditorium $50 CASH RBUHE!
