You expected to see Rod Serling
[step from behind the bleachers at
any moment.
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.

Carter propels Mets to 6-2 victory; series even
I BOSTON (AP) — Gary Carter
hmnered twice and Len Dykstra
|<Med another behind Ron Darling's
E "itching and the New York Mets
eld off the Boston Red Sox 6-2
Wednesday night to square the
World Series at two games each.
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.
