A&M also ed error-free softball in the |ney. Ne did play real well, and we |’t make many mistakes for this in the season — I think that’s jkey,” Head Coach Bob Brock Ibis was A&M’s first competition the pitching mound 43 feet from the plate instead of the liot distance used in previous But Brock said the mound change seemed to affect the other teams in the tournament more than it did the Aggies. “The extra three feet has helped our hitters a lot,” he said. “We just hit and ran and bunted like we’ve never done before. “It had just a marginal effect on our pitchers, though. “(Julie) Carpenter kind of pitched the same w'ay. She never was a big strikeout pitcher, but she did a good job. “It’s taken a little touch of the overpowering thing off Shawm (An- dava) — just a teeny bit.” He said he was impressed with the defense — especially the play of freshman first baseman Kelli Biggs and freshman third baseman Renee Blaha who ch-.ired time with Carrie Heightly, wdio was A&M’s catcher last year. “We tended to play Renee more than Carrie at third because Carrie was catching, too,” Brock said. “Kelli needed to nail down that first-base spot and she really did a super job taking that over,” he said. Brock said the Aggies’ victory was a definite confidence-builder. “They’re just happy to see all the hard work pay off,” he said. “The older players are happy to see the younger players coming together.” Brock said he liked what he saw at the tournament but doesn’t want to build up this victory too much. The Aggies will play a double- header Wednesday against Sam Houston State University in Hunt sville. hiefs handle Oilers lANSAS CITY, Mo.
