Aggies find all the news that’s fit to print in Waco By CHAREAN WILLIAMS Assistant Sports Editor WACO — The Texas A&M softball team got some good news and some better news Wednesday. The headlines read, “No. 3 Aggies sweep No. 17 Baylor 2-0 and 2-0,” but the inside story was, “The Re turn of Lopez.” The sideshow found the Aggies’ (31-7) pitching, fielding and hitting as good as ever at Marvin Norcross Stadium in Waco. A&M pitcher Shawn Andaya wasn’t clowning around with any dancing Bears. Thirteen was Bay lor’s unlucky number in the first game —that’s the number of batters that struckout on Andaya’s fastball. Baylor hitters managed to get three base hits, but they were for a lost cause. Andaya. now 14-3, did walk the tight rope twice, in the fifth and sixth innings, but she never fell. “The umpire was really bad,” An daya said. “He wasn’t giving me any thing. I just didn’t agree with a few of his calls. But, I wasn’t worried. Baylor has only two good hitters.” A&M Coach Bob Brock has tamed his hitters, but they’re now as vicious as lions. “We’re just being real aggressive at the plate,” Brock said. “Other teams are trying to pitch us their sec ond best pitchers. If they do that, they sure better make that pitch or it will cost them. I finally made my team understand that.” In the first game, shortstop Liz Mizera led off the f ourth inning with a walk. Iva Jackson followed with a single up the middle. Andaya moved the runners up with a sacrifice fly. Baylor third base- man Misty Davis was the recipient of a Mary Schwind shot. Davis at tempted to tag Mizera who was off third base. After that attempt failed to record an out, she overthrew first base trying to get Schwind. That brought in Mizera fora 1-0lead. “I took a lead off third base,” Mi zera said. “I distracted her. She just looked at me too long to make the throw in time.” After Mizera’s score, catcher Gay McNutt got an infield single to score Jackson. All of that excitement was only the preliminary game. T he real show came in the second game when Yvette Lopez made her return. The Aggie pitcher pulled a Hou- dini during the Aggie Invitational Tournament last weekend. Al though she survived the tourney with a 2-1 record, Lopez struggled in all three appearances. “I was a little frustrated (during the Aggie Invitational),” Lopez said. “After the last game in the tourna ment, I started picking back up." This time the Bears found seven wasn’t even a lucky number for them (good thing they weren’t in Las Ve gas). Lopez fanned seven Bears and allowed only two hits. The first in ning took just seven pitches to retire the side. It was perhaps the best per- formance by Lopez this year. “She looks more like herself,” Brock said. “She was more under control tonight. This is one of the best games I’ve seen her pitch. She challenged their big hitter and struck her out. “Yvette is as good as their is around. In fact, she probably pitched better than Shawn tonight. With all the injuries she had last year, it’s great to see her play like this. She is back.” Lopez felt like the “strong-man" at the end of the game. “It felt great, Lopez said. "We were working the outside corner to day. I missed a couple, but for the most part I was getting them right in there. I got stronger the last two or t hree innings. I guess I just woke up. 1 started working harder.” Catcher McNutt broke in shaking her hand, “I’ll say. You were pop ping the ball.” In the end, the Fat Lady sang “Aggie praises” and “Hail to Lopez”.

On the clay after oneofthegra est upsets in the game’s history,! rulesmakers decided to move am future underdogs with legislate that will make Villanova-type ste tiers more difficult to achieve. And the irony is that it was dm with the approval of the populate most ef fected — the collegecoack Armed with survey results sij porting the move, the NCAAh put the clock in the college gais which is about the last mingi sport needed. Now a team will! forced to shoot within 45 secondu possession, with no option for Ml* strategies. The stall is gone. Taking thet out of the ball to keep a racehoa team f rom running up and down! court on you is no longer a coadiiE option. Now, you must shoot 4 ball, whether you wanttoornot. Rollie Massimino, coach of via rious Villanova, thought the Wi cats might have subdued migk Georgetown in either of their earl* confrontations this season had in been for the Big East Confere clock, which forced his teamtoli shots it didn't particularly want. In Monday night’s no-dock ton nament game, the option was all Vi lanova’s and Massimino’s coiut smart kids made the mostofit. The intent of the rule chai adopted Tuesday is to eliminate I farce game where a team in overt head simply holds on to thebalht keep it away from the other guy The Hip side of that action, howettt is to deprive underdogs fromwla ever slim chance they might haven control their own destiny agaiis powerhouses. Villanova was the perfect exa® pie. The Wildcats did not freeze ill ball on Georgetown. They simfk controlled the tempo, shootingwba they wanted to, being selective tj the shots they attempted. Had [to been forced to fire within the» fines of the clock, you can besan they would have had a much nfon difficult time achieving that »|| founding 78.(i percent accuracy, With under two minutes remait ing in the first half and Georgetoffl clinging to a one-point lead, Villate va’s slide point guard, Gary McLain motioned to his teammates to spteai the court. The Wildcats wentforoit last shot, controlled the ball, ail made the basket. It was thinl«| man’s basketball. With three minutes left in ill game and leading by a poial Georgetown tried the same spreil strategy. It backfired with a tint over. Had John Thompson gone* the delay too soon? “I’d have gone with nine minutu to go,” said the Georgetown coad “if it meant I could get themouttl their zone.” It was point and counterpoiit like a chess game. That is partofl* beauty of basketball. Forcing the* lion with a clock robs the gamed that quality.
