Ags split with Golden Gophers
TANII
By TOM TAGLIABUE
Sports Writer
Texas A&M came within an in
ning of gaining a double-header
sweep of Minnesota Tuesday night,
but a seventh-inning rally in the first
game by the Golden Gophers got
them a split in the non-conference
battle at Olsen Field.
The Gophers’ three runs in the
top of the sev- “
enth came Baseball
against A&M
reliever Barry Smith, and amounted
to a 6-4 Minnesota win. The Ags re
bounded for a 10-5 victory in the
nightcap.
A&M, 21-15, got off to a rocky
start in game one as Minnesota, 2-3,
collected three first inning runs.
The Ags picked up two runs in
the second off Minnesota ace Bryan
Hickerson as Ever Magallanes and
Maury Martin each collected a RBI.
Mike Scanlin’s 13th homer of the
year in the sixth tied the game at 3-3.
Russ Greene replaced Wernig in
the fourth and pitched three
scoreless innings. Smith, 0-1, en
tered in the ninth and was greeted
with four hits and two walks.
The nightcap didn’t start out
much better for the Aggies.
Russ Swan was knocked around
for five second-inning runs, includ
ing back-to-back homers.
Jimmy Flowers, 1-1, relieved
Swan in the second and held the Go
phers to two hits and five walks in
six-plus innings of work.
A&M slapped around freshman
pitcher John Bierderman for 10
runs on eight hits in the bottom of
the third.

A&M’s Trussell plays second to none in field !
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
You have to be able to move quick
if you want to track down J udy “Buf-
fy” Trussell.
If she’s not watching the Texas
A&M baseball team play, you might
find her at the library. If she’s not
there, try her “second home” — sec
ond base at the A&M softball field.
Opponents .
can tell you all
about Trussell’s
quickness.
Softball
The All-America second baseman
led the nation with a .991 fielding
percentage last season.
But Trussell does her job quietly.
She has yet to hit a home run and
you won’t hear her leading the Ag
gies in yells.
“It never crossed my mind that I
would be an All-American,” said
Trussell about last year’s honor. “I
mean, you have (A&M shortstop) Liz
(Mizera) who led the nation in home
runs, (A&M third baseman) Cindy
(Cooper) who is our leader and
(A&M pitcher) Shawn (Andaya) who
strikes out everyone. Who knew
about me?”
Batters who have been gunned
down by her quick arm and pitchers
who have been pulled because of her
singles and doubles, that’s who.
You will never see Trussell mis-
play a ground ball or overthrow
first.
“I feel more confident in the
field,” she said. “I get mad if the
ball’s hit up the middle or between
first and second and I don’t make
the play. I feel like I should get any
thing close.”
And as the Ags’ leadoff hitter,
Trussell will show you a lot of base
hits and will never strike out.
“I feel like I’ve really been hitting

man, Judy Trussell, left, is “the best fielder in the nation.”
the ball hard,” she said. “I might not
have gotten a lot of hits, but I just
need to keep hitting it hard and they
will start to fall.”
If she needs any tips to help her
hitting or fielding, the A&M junior
knows right where to turn.
Trussell calls her father, who
coached her while in high school at
Lake Jackson, “my worst critic.”
“Sports were the major part of my
life growing up,” she said. “I started
playing in the fourth grade.
“My dad pushed me. I could tell
you some stories. He has left me in
tears. But that made me a better
player. And he is my biggest fan. I
think my making All-American got
to my dad more than anyone. He
was the proudest of all.”
And if dad can’t help, boyfriend
Rob Swain might be able to.
“If I ask, he’ll tell me,” Trussell
said. “He has lots of stuff to say.”

Conference shortstop at A&M last

“No way,” Trussell said. “Cofl
has constantly stressed to be re/
for the weaker teams. We haul
play at our best all the timenotjt'
to the level of our competition.
“And when we get overconfiW
all we have to do is think abouils
year.”
Last year was “a disappointnitf'l
lor A&M.
Although they finished withal
12 mark and ranked second in
nation, the Ags failed to reach
College World Series for the I
time in seven years.
“That left a real bad taste in
mouths,” Trussell said. “We iwj
have peaked too soon, I don’t j® 0 !
The good thing about this year I
we’re on the right track, but thei'f
still room for improvement. I
like we can beat anyone in thenaM
if we’re all playing up to ourcaps i
