Softball team sweeps Mavericks
By DAVE SCOTT
Sports Writer
The women’s softball team
didn’t play its best against the
University of Texas at Arling
ton Tuesday, but they didn’t
need too. A&M took both
games of the doubleheader
from the Movin’ Mavericks,
winning 3-2 and 4-1.
In the first game, the Aggies
scored all three of their runs in
the third inning. With right
fielder Deb Rollman on second
base and shortstop Judy Trus-
sell on first base, Shawn Andaya
— seeing action as designated
hitter rather than pitcher — hit
a hard shot the UTA shortstop
couldn’t handle. The play
scored Rollman and moved
Trussell to third base while An
daya went to second on the
throw home.
The UTA pitcher then threw
a wild pitch that scored Trussell
and moved Andaya to third
base. Third baseman Cindy
Cooper lined a single to left to
score Andaya.
Junior transfer pitcher
Yvette Lopez was throwing
strong and nad a shut out until
the fifth inning. She gave up
back-to-back singles and then
wild pitch. Both runners scored
when the first base umpire
ruled that Rollman had pulled
her foot early on a play at first
base.
Lopez settled down for the
rest of the game and finished
with four strike outs and al
lowed three hits. She said incon
sistent stretches have plagued
her all season.
“I have a tendency to lose
speed sometimes,” Lopez said.
“It will happen one inning and
the next inning I’ll be fine.”
In the second game the Ag
gies came out running and
jumped to an early 4-0 lead.
Trussell led off with a single
and promptly stole second base.
Left fielder Cindy Foster laid
down a perfect bunt down the
third baseline. A hurried UTA
third baseman hobbled the ball
and Foster beat the throw. On
the next pitch Foster stole sec
ond base.
Andaya then hit a sharp sin
gle over third base to score
Trussell and following a cue
from her teammates, she stole
second. Cooper followed with a
nicely placed single behind the
runners to score Foster.
With two outs, center fielder
Iva Jackson knocked a
grounder through the short
stop that scored both Andaya
and Cooper. However, the
U FA finally picked off a an Ag
gie base runner, nabbing Jack-
son trying to steal second.
In the fourth inning, Andaya
gave up her only hit and also
lost her shut out, but the Mav’s
had to earn it. With runners on
first and third base, UTA tried
a squeeze play. The bunt went
five feet in front of the plate
and Andaya dived and Hipped
the ball to catcher Gaye McNutt
to just beat the charging run
ner. The play left runners still
on the corners and Andaya
then gave up a single to the next
batter that scored a run.
McNutt got the Aggies out of
the inning by nailing a runner
at third with a perfect throw.
Coach Bob Brock said the
team didn’t play too well
“I don’t think we were
looking past UTA, they’ve beat
us before,” Brock said. “After
the big tournament in Okla
homa (which the Aggies won), I
think the team had a lot of
classes and tests to catch up on.”

The Texas A&M baseball
team shoveled dirt into the hole
that the Minnesota Golden Go
phers dug for themselves Tues
day by sweeping both games of
a doubleheader.
The Aggies won the first
game 5-1, then expoloded for
ten hits in the second game and
shut out the Gophers 7-0.
After a slow start in the first
game, Aggie pitcher Tom Ar
rington went on to record his
fifth victory of the year against
no losses. In the second game.
Kelly Keahey posted his third
victory without a loss.
Coach Tom Chandler
praised for his pitching staff af
ter the game.
“When you get good pitching
.like that, you can look like a
good ball club,’’Chandler said.
Unfortunately for Minne
sota, their pitching was not as
effective.
Bill Cutshall started his first
game on the mound for the Go
phers and it showed early in his
pitching. In the first inning the
Aggie batters picked Cutshall
apart for three early runs and
never looked back.
Tom Riewer didn’t fare any
better against the tough Aggie
hitting. The Aggies jumped out
to an early 4-0 lead in the first
inning and made it look easy
the rest of the way.
Minnesota, playing in only
their fifth game of the year, saw
its record slide to 1-5, while the
Aggies improved to 18-6 on the
year.
Texas A&M will play the Go
phers in another doubleheader
this afternoon beginning at
2:00 p.m. at Olsen Field.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The
Id adage reads, “What’s good
for the goose is good for the
nder.”
Kentucky Coach Joe B. Hall
larned this week that what’s
od for the Terrapin is also
good for the Wildcat,
j Last week a tournament offi
cial told Maryland Coach Lefty
Driesell that though his team
was arriving in Lexington Mon
day to prepare for the Mideast
Regional semifinal, Rupp
Arena was off limits for practice
until Wednesday.
y And Monday a call to UK
from NCAA assistant director
Tom Jernstedl informed Hall
and his troops that the rule held
for the host team as well,
i So late Monday, UK switched
its Tuesday practice session
from Rupp Arena to Memorial
Coliseum. Maryland practiced
at a gym at nearby Transylvania
University.
I “It doesn’t matter,” Hall said.
“1 sincerely mean that. We’re
not looking for any advantage.”
j “I just thought if Kentucky
could practice there, I’d like to
have our team there too,” Drie
sell said.
The practice-site confusion
was a reoccurrence of a similar
happening in Birmingham,
Ala., for last weekend’s sub-re
gional.
The Terps arrived early
there too, but were not allowed
to practice at the Birmingham-
Jefferson Civic Center Col
iseum. Host University of Ala-
bama-Birmingham also had to
find a practice floor elsewhere.
Louisville’s Denny Crum is
not too worried about a team
being able to practice in its own
backyard, but he’s not too
happy that Kentucky will be
playing at home in the NCAA
tournament.
“It’s certainly not fair in
NCAA play for a team to play in
its own arena,” Crum said. “I’d
like to see something done
about it.”
Exactly what, he’s not too
sure.
If teams that offered to host
regionals were required to be
placed in another region, Crum
said, no team would ever host a
regional.
Crum, however, is too busy
worrying about his team’s
health to fret over home-court
advantage.
Junior forward Manuel For
rest did not practice Monday
because of an ankle sprain he
suffered against Tulsa Sunday.
Forrest’s running mate at
forward, sophomore Billy
Thompson, has been at less
than full strength for several
weeks with an ankle sprain.
Louisville and Kentucky,
which went 24 years without
playing each other, will be play
ing for the third time in 53
weeks.
