1984 looks good
for Astros’ Ryan
With 16 years in the major
leagues, Houston pitcher Nolan
Ryan has seen many a spring
training come and go. But ex
hibition season 1984 is proving
to be better than most.
he winner in relief was Pat
Larkin. Jerry Ujder pitched the-
ninth inning to record a save.
The Tigers improved their ex
hibition record to 5-9. Houston
fell to 8-6.
The right-hander, who was
has pitched five no-hitters in his
career, retired the first 19 De
troit Tigers Sunday. His streak
ended when Alan Trammel was
safe on an error in the seventh
inning in the game at Lakeland,
Fla.
Joe Sambito relieved Ryan in
the eighth, with the Astros lead
ing 1-0, and was tagged with the
loss in Houston’s 2-1 defeat.
In other exhibition games:
At Bradenton, Fla., outfielder
Ruppert Jones scored the tying
run in the fifth inning and later
drove in an insurance run to
lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a
6-4 deicsion over the St. Louis
Cardinals. Jones, a non-roster
player, was with the San Diego
Padres last season before declar
ing himself a free agent.
Overshadowed by Ryan’s per
formance was the job by Jack
Morris, who pitched the first
seven innings for the Tigers.
Morris allowed just two hits and
the lone Houston run in the first
inning.
At Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a
quintet of Texas pitchers com
bined on a seven-hitter Sunday,
helping Rangers defeat the New
York Yankees 5-3. It was the
first loss in relief for Dave
Righetti.
The score remained 1-0 until
the bottom of the eighth when
Lance Parrish greeted Sambito
with a leadoff single. Parrish
moved to third base when Sam
bito threw wildly to first on a
pickoff play.

hile the rest of the Texas
M student body took off for
spring break, the defending
ional champion Aggie soft-
team went about business as
al pushing their record to
aildren. AMThe team, that is ranked No.

r in the «<Hd New Mexico, Southern
rath of It lljtiois, Iowa State, Baylor, and
, Marvin■ahoma while claiming the
Biversity of Oklahoma tourna-
njjnt championship.
e re retunitlF res ln nen pitcher Shawn
of I-montP '
Andaya ring-mastered four of
the victories. When you have a
spring break like the one
Andaya had, it’s really hard to
know what to write home about.
Do you write about the New
Mexico game where Andaya tos
sed 1 1 strikeouts, giving up only
one walk as the Ags won 2-0?
Or how about the game
against Baylor where Andaya
tossed a no-hitter, struck out 17
and the Aggies won 8-0? Or the
Oklahoma game where Andaya
gave up a hit. The Aggies won
that one 1-0.
Or you might want to write
about the championship game
also played against the Sooners.
For three innings Yvette Lopez
held Oklahoma scoreless, but in
the fourth she ran into trouble
loading the bases with no outs.
Enter Andaya. She promptly
struck out the side, one, two,
three. She them pitched nine
more shut-out innings. That’s
right, nine more shutout in
nings.
In the bottom of the 13th,
with the score tied at 0, Andaya
reached first on a fielders
choice. Patti Holthaus’s single
scored the run, and the Aggies
were the tournament champs.
After Kirk Gibson was hit by a
pitch, Glenn Wilson tied the
score with a sharp single to left.
Pinch hitter Barbaro Garbey was
safe on another error to load the
bases. John Wockenfuss then hit
a sacrifice fly for the game
winning RBI.
At West Palm Beach, Fla., in
fielder Brad Mills broke a 1-1 tie
in the sixth inning with a two-
out, two-run single which car
ried the Montreal Expos to a 4-2
triumph over the Kansas City
Royals. Left-hander Chris
Welsh pitched three shutout in
nings to get the victory.
ey Hatcher snapped a 2-2 tie
with his first homer of the spring
and Rick Lysander pitched out
of a ninth-inning jam to lead the
Minnesota Twitis to a 4-3 victory
over the Boston Red Sox. Hatch
er’s slammer was only the
second homer in 12 games for
the Twins this springy
At Clearwater, Fla., Len
Matuszek collected four hits and
drove in four runs and Mike
Schmidt blasted his first spring
home run as the Philadelphia
Phillies romped over the Chica
go While Sox 8-1. Last year’s Cy
Young Award winners John De
nny and LaMarr Hoyt matched
off against each other — with
winner Denny giving up one run
in six innings and Chicago’s
Hoyt giving up six runs in just
over four innings.
At Yuma, Ariz., Paul Molitor
extended his spring training hit
ting streak to nine games to lead
the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1
win over the San Diego Padres.
Molitor hit a pair of singles to
boost his spring average to .543.
He now has 191iits in 35 at bats.
A St. Petersburg, Fla., outfiel
der George Bell drove in five
runs with a home run, single and
triple to lead the Toronto Blue
Jays to an 11-inning, 6-3 win
over the New York Mets.
At Winter Haven, Fla., Mick-
conserve it
Andaya had a great spring
break and she’s now 10-0. Lopez
season mark is now 7-2 after vic
tories over Southern Illinois,
and Iowa State.
The A&M softball team’s next
home game is Tuesday at 4 p.m.
against the University of Texas-
