As for the Aggie scoring,
shortstop Carrie Austgen led off

single and went to second on a
fielder’s choice by Cindy Foster.
Second baseman Patti Holth-
aus, the No. 3 hitter, singled Au
stgen to third, and Austgen
scored on the same play when
the SHSU center fielder com
mitted an error.
In the top of the sixth, Texas
A&M scored its final run when,
with two outs, Holthaus tripled
and scored on Cindy Cooper’s
RBI single.
Holthaus finished the game
with three hits — two singles and
a triple.
Shan McDonald and Stoll
pitched the Aggies to a 2-0 vic
tory in the second game, as
Texas A&M scored single runs
in the third and sixth innings.
McDonald pitched 5% innings
before Stoll came in to relieve
her and pick up a save.
McDonald’s season record
stands at 7-3.
In the top of the third, Texas
A&M’s Linda Lancaster singled
and pinch runner Ann Hadley
went to second on a fielder’s
choice. Holthaus then singled
and Hadley rounded third in an
attempt to score.
SHSU catcher Lisa Busby
blocked the plate completely,
but when the two players col
lided, Busby dropped the ball.
Hadley scrambled toward the
plate and touched it with her
fingertips before Busby could
retrieve the ball.
Texas A&M first baseman
Josie Carter hit a home run in
the sixth inning to give the
Aggies a 2-0 lead.
Stoll replaced McDonald in
the bottom of the sixth inning,
when the Lady Bearkats placed
runners on first and second with
two outs. Stoll solved the situa
tion quickly, striking out SHSU
first baseman Ginger Cannon.
Texas A&M finished the
game with nine hits and six run
ners left on base, while SHSU
had seven hits and left six on
base. McDonald gave up all
seven hits but walked none.
Foster had two singles to lead
the Aggies at the plate.

nook’s Thomas signs with A&M
(lint Thomas, a 6-1, 180-pound post from Class A
all champion Snook High School, signed a basketball
Stjr-of-intent with Texas A&M Wednesday, Aggie
lath Shelby Metcalf said.
■homas, who played on four state champions while
Stiook, averaged 15 points and eight rebounds a
during his career with the Bluejays.
flie Bluejays have won six straight Class A basketball
fej, and put together a 106-14 record v bile Thomas
|on the team.
Thomas is expected to play guard for the Aggies,
dug high school, he hit 55 percent of lii> field goal
tempts and shot 04 percent from the free throw hue.
jiolnias, who has a 45-inch vertical leap, was a member
All-State tournament team in each of the three
ts lie started for the Bluejays.
Fhontas also runs track for Snook, running in the
100 and 200 meters, participating in the high jump and
anchoring several relay teams.
With the signing, Thomas became Snook’s first ma
jor-college signee. He has also been named to Who’s
Who Among America’s High School Students.
Metcalf is not expected to sign any more players until
Friday at the earliest. A major need of the Aggies is at
forward, where Metcalf has to replace seniors Claude
Riley and Roy Jones.
The Aggies also have only three guards who saw
extended playing time last season returning, and one of
those three, Reggie Roberts, is reportedly having acade
mic problems. If Roberts does not return, sophomore
center Jimmie Gilbert would lie the lone returning
starter.
Texas A&M is recruiting several forwards from
around the state, including 6-8 ( u egory Anderson from
Houston Worthing and 6-7 Gonnaly Brown from West
Orange Stark.
Anderson, however, is reportedly considering Mary
land and Rice also. Brown might sign with the Lamar
Cardinals.
In other Southwest Conference recruiting notes,
four high school and junior college basketball players
signed with Baylor on Wednesday, including one who
averaged 26 points a game.
Dwayne Brown, a 6-foot-5 guard from Dallas’ Kim
ball High School who averaged 17.8 points a game;
James Malone, a 6-foot-6 forward from Jacksonville
Baptist Junior College who averaged 22 5 points and
nine rebounds a game signed with the Bears.
In addtion, Baylor signed Dave Reichert, a 6-foot-3
guard from Highland Park High School, 19 points a
game, eight assists; and Jody Reeves, a 6-foot-7 forward
from Allen High School in Dallas, 26 points a game,
highest in the Dallas area last year.
