We didn’t get too many hits, but we made them count,” said Cincinnati manager Russ Nixon. Ted Power recorded his first save of the year as the Reds sent 11 men to the plate in the fifth, scoring six times on three hits, four walks, a catcher’s interfer ence play and a wild pitch on a strikeout. “I liked the way he (Power) went after them tonight. He wanted the baseball and did the job. He has worked hard all year and kept in shape and was ready when we needed him,” Nixon said. Power said he took advan- tangeof an opportunity to prove he could pitch. “I worked real hard all spring and early in the season, just hop ing to get a chance. Tonight was an excellent opportunity to prove I can pitch and I took advantage of it. I’ve been throw ing on the sidelines every other day staying in shape and being prepared to work in game ac tion,” he said. Though the Astros, who started the season with a 0-10 record, had hoped to add more victories to their list, manager Bob Lillis saw the bright spots in the game that broke their two- game winning streak. “It is always tough to lose, but I thought we had some bright spots out there tonight.

Texas College Station 693-1 164 Knight continues to make good contact,” Lillis said. “Our rookie pitchers (Mike) Madden and (frank) DiPino threw well tonight. We simply left too many guys in scoring position.” The game broke loose in the fifth inning when Cesar Cedeno drove in two runs to highlight a six-run outburst. Dan Driessen and Ron Oester opened the inning with walks off loser Mike LaCoss, 0-1. Duane Walker lined the next pitch down the right field line to score Driessen and Dann Bilardello then struck out but advanced to first on LaCoss’ wild pitch.

Verne Ruble relieved LaCoss only to be greeted by a run-scoring single to right by Eddie Milner. After one out, DiPino re lieved Ruble and walked Bench and Driessen to score the final run of the inning. Gale, 1-0, went five innings to gain the victory. Power entered the game in the seventh inning with men on first and second and none out. He proceeded to retire the next three batters, in cluding two on strikeouts. The Astros scored twice in each of the second and seventh innings, with Knight driving in three runs with a double and a single. Ashby, who had four hjts, drove in the other run with a second-inning single. rez mentioned. A Canadian native from Ottawa, Ontario, Anderson moved to Palestine, Texas when he was 15. He admits his only information about Texas at the time came from “John Wayne movies.” But Anderson says things worked out a little differently than he thought they would. “When I decided to come to A'&M," Anderson says, “I didn’t even expect to be reading in the paper about a hockey game, let alone reading about myself playing hockey. It’s a pretty weird experience. “For us to even get back on the ice — and to play a game — was a big accomplishment. We played eight games, and I didn't even think we were going to play one.” Dobrez and Anderson agree the team needs help to continue in the future. “There’s a drive and spirit on the team — but the key (to future success) would be an ice rink on campus,” Dobrez says. “That itself would seci us as a team, and would give us thedailypract that we need.
