let in,” Johnson said.
I The second game of the af-
Irnoon double-header was the op
posite of the first contest, except for
the play of Byington, who got things
started in the bottom of the first with
a two-run scoreboard-basher over
the left-center field wall.
Byington was rather modest about
his 6-for-8 day at the plate and the
two homers.
“We haven’t seen any pitching
yet,” Byington said. “ Fm just glad
I’m contributing.”
The Aggies held a slim 3-1 lead
going into the bottom of the eighth
inning until Hardin Simmons em
barked on its version of musical
pitchers.
The Aggies scored nine runs as
the Cowboys went through three
pitchers in one inning.
A&M had the bases loaded for
much of the inning, and with an 8-1
lead, shortstop Ever Magallanes
sealed the game with a double that
drove in first baseman Todd
Schmidt, right fielder Andy Duke
and center fielder Chuck Knob
lauch, all of whom reached base on
walks.
The second game also featured a
very young lineup to give Johnson a
look at several new players. Four
freshmen and two sophomores
started the game and produced for
Johnson as well.
Besides Byington with the bat,
Knoblauch contributed seven pu-
touts in center field, many of which
were on the run.
The Aggies finished the two-game
series with 19 hits and no errors;
Hardin Simmons had 15 hits and
three errors.
A&M will continue their home-
stand this weekend at Olsen Field
with a single game against Central
Michigan Friday at 3 p.m., and a
double-header Saturday beginning
at 1 p.m.
