Vou see, the Texas A&M volley ball team took a step back in time. Back to the second week of work outs when they weren’t yet playing is a team. Back . . . into the Twilight Zone. The 18th-ranked Aggies dropped Jheir record to 17-6 and 4-2 in iouthwest Conference play with a 10-15, 15-4, 15-2, 2-15, 9-15 loss to lice, which improved its record to 15-11 and 3-2 in the conference. Obviously, A&M head coach Al Livens wasn’t happy with his team’s performance. I “This is a very disappointing loss,” Givens said. I “That pretty much hands Texas (he Southwest Conference title. I “Even if we go to Austin and beat fthem, nobody else is going to.” I In the first game, the Owls came out looking like a little boy that just |bad to go get a switch for mama — iliey knew they were fixing to get a whipping. I The Aggies scored the first seven ‘points and were leading bv a score of 9-3 when they politely let Rice off the hook for 10 straight points and then lost 10-15. At one point during game one, A&M served 20 times but only mus tered two points. The Aggies then shrugged off the mental lapse and easily took the next two games 15-4 and 15-2. In the fourth game, perhaps it was overconfidence or perhaps it was just boredom, but A&M let up and the Owls countered last game’s rout with a 15-2 victory of its own. The Aggies didn’t expect it, but they found themselves in a fifth game against a rejuvenated Rice team. A&M, finding itself in this pres sure situation, promptly rapped off the first six points. But the script for this episode was already written. Rice caught the Aggies at 8-8 and later put them away 15-9 for the match. “They hung in there and played and we didn’t,” Givens said. “We played well at times and not at all at others. “We need to analyze where we broke down and what our problems were and get ready for Baylor (this Friday in Waco),” Givens said.

I Carter’s first homer opened the storing as the Mets took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning against Red Sox starter Al Nipper, who hadn’t pitched in I 7 days. The Mets catcher Bosed New York’s scoring with a solo homer over the screen above the left-field wall in the eighth off reliever Steve Crawford. Dykstra’s two-run homer in the seventh off Crawford made it 5-0 as the Mets continued their offensive resurgence. The Mets won Game 3, 7-1, after scoring only three runs in losing the first two games at home. Darling blanked the Red Sox on four hits before leaving after seven innings. He lost the first game of the Series 1-0. Roger McDowell gave up two runs in the eighth and needed relief from Jesse Orosco, who got the last out of the eighth with two runners on, and then closed out the Red Sox in the ninth. The victory ensured at least a Game 6, giving the Mets the oppor tunity to bring the Series back to Shea Stadium. It was news that could have been greeted with mixed emo tions. The Mets lost the first two games at home, then won two at Fenway Park. Dwight Gooden, 17-6, who lost Game 2, was scheduled to start for the Mets in Game 5 tonight against Bruce Hurst, 13-8, who worked eight scoreless innings as the winner in Game 1. Darling was not perfect, coming back for the first time this season on such short notice. He walked six and struck out four, and he was just good enough as the Red Sox stranded 11 runners, nine in Darling’s seven in nings. Nipper, who allowed seven hits in six innings, came into the game with a 10-12 record and an ERA of 5.38 during the season, the highest of any World Series starter since 1947. Nipper, left out of the Red Sox’s postseason pitching rotation until it became clear that both Hurst and Roger Clemens needed more rest, hadn’t started a game since Oct. 4, the next-to-last day of the season.
