By DAVE SCOTT Sports Writer WACO — The score is 2-2 at the end of the regulation seven nnings, forcing the championship game of the Bay lor Invitational tournament into extra innings. Rose is one of a handful of players who will be seeking im portant personal milestones this season.

Up to the plate steps Texas A&M leftfielder Josie Carter. She takes two pitches from the Baylor pitcher and then readies for the third. The Aggies have already blown many scoring opportuni ties, stranding runner after runner. Carter herself hadn’t hit well in the tournament — just four hits in 19 at-bats.

Although the Aggies were the favorites to win the tourna ment, which included Ne braska, Michigan, Stephen F. Austin and host Baylor, the tournament victory was hardly easy — four of A&M’s six games went into extra innings, coach Bob Brock was ejected from two of the games, against the same team, by the same umpire. Brock was thrown out during both of the Aggie’s games against Stephen F. Austin. The first time in the third inning af ter a close call at home plate. Brock already had argued a few calls and simply said one word too many. However, making Brock watch the rest of the game from across the street didn’t stop the controversial calls or the argu- in *f- . With the game in extra in nings, tied 1-1, catcher Gaye McNutt scored from third base on a sacrifice fly. But the um pire ruled McNutt had left the base too early and was called out. The Aggies eventually lost the game in extra innings, 3-1. Following a win over Sam Houston State, 7-2,, the Aggies played Stephen F. Austion again. The game was scoreless when shortstop Judy Trussell was called out trying to steal sec ond base. Brock came out of the dugout arguing that Trussell had been tagged high on the shoulder. Brock argued for less than a minute before returning to the bench. Then as the coach talked to his team, the umpire pointed and sent Brock out of the sta dium.
