ftxas A&M and Texas re-
J tied for First place in the
iCwilh records of 10-2.
Srent’s Weekend helped
| the Aggies their biggest
}ut of the year for Satur
day’s single game with the Red
Raiders.
A crowd of 3,647 watched
Tech jump out to a 4-0 lead in
the first inning with Texas
A&M’s Sherman Corbett on the
mound.
Corbett settled down after
the first with the help of the Ag
gie defense, holding Tech
scoreless for the next five in
nings.
The Aggies responded to
Corbett’s effort by scoring two
runs in the fourth and one in
the fifth, making it 4-3.
In the sixth, Texas A&M
took an 8-4 lead and appeared
to be pulling away. Chandler
said the Aggies were trying to
get Tech to use up their pitch
ers.
“We were trying to get into
their bullpen the entire time,”
Chandler said.
But the Red Raiders stormed
back with four runs in the
eighth off releiver Beje Mahoe
to tie the game 8-8. Rock King
came in for Mahoe to get the
third out for the Ags.
Rob Swain, the SWC batting
leader, led off for the Aggies in
the eighth with hard hit ball to
third base. Tech’s Jim Sullivan
hobbled the ball momentarily,
then made a wild throw to first
allowing Swain to get to second.
Buddy Haney advanced
Swain to third by pulling a
ground ball into leftfield out of
reach of Sullivan. Chandler
credited the hit to Haney’s abil
ity and assistant coach Mark
Johnson’s drilling.
“Mark Johnson drills them
on pulling the ball every week,”
Chandler said. “Buddyjust exe
cuted it perfectly.”
Tech intentionally walked
Tony Metoyer, who went 8 for
10 during the series, and
brought up Don Robison. Robi
son scored Swain with a base hit
to right.
King came on to retire the
side in the ninth to pick up his
second win of the year.
Coach Chandler was more
than pleased with his team’s
performance this weekend.
“It’s hard as the devil to beat
a team three times in a row,” he
said. “We made some plays in
the field that were just outstan
ding.”
Texas A&M, now 33-8 over
all, will take on Pan American
Tuesday in a twi-night double-
header beginning at 5:30 p.m.
