Cubs defeat Astros 3-1
behind Sutcliffe homer
HOUSTON (AP) — Rick Sutcliffe
pitched a six-hitter and hit a two-run
homer and a double as the Chicago
Cubs beat the Houston Astros 3-1
Wednesday.
Sutcliffe, 11-11, retired 13
straight after giving up a second-in
ning single to Rafael Ramirez. The
right-hander struck out five and
walked one for his 10th complete
game.
Rafael Palmeiro led off the fifth
against Jim Deshaies, 9-11, with a
double and stole third. Two outs
later, Sutcliffe hit Deshaies’ first
pitch over the scoreboard in right
Column
for his first homer of the season aiicl
fourth of his career.
Chicago had taken a 1-0 leadi:|
the second. Andre Dawson led of:|
with a single and took third who I
Vance Law doubled.
Law moved to third when Davy;
was caught in a rundown afteri
ground ball by Palmeiro and thcl
scored on Damon Berryhill’s infiel!:|
out.
Sutcliffe lost his shutout in tbl
eighth when Denny Walling doublet;
home pinch-runner Alex Trevino
Deshaies allowed five hits in six::
nings, striking out seven and wall
ing none.

Alan Trammell in the AL and Kirk
Gibson of Los Angeles in the Na
tional League.
Trammell is the heart of the Ti
gers. Detroit lost the top two players
of the franchise in the past two years
to free agency when Gibson and
Lance Parrish (Philadelphia) left for
big money contracts.
Yet, the Tigers remain the team to
beat in the AL East because of Tra
mmell.
The Tigers have only played .500
baseball while he’s been injured.
Gibson has taken charge of a
Dodger club which is short of pitch
ing and full of free agents from all
over the majors. His personality has
meant more to the team than even
his power at the plate. He gives the
Dodgers the toughness they used to
be known for but have lacked the
past few years.
Some other strong candidates in
the AL are Wade Boggs and Mike
Greenwell of Boston and Frank Vi
ola of Minnesota.
Boggs is leading the AL in hitting
Volleyball
with a .360 average and Greenwf j
leads the league with 103 RBI wi
ranking third in the league in hittr;
with a .340 mark.
Viola, a pitcher, is the AL’s fc|
20-game winner and a virtual kwl
for the American League’s c |
Young award. However, with tal
Twins in second place in the All
West and trailing Oakland by q:
games he doesn’t look to be aa»|
tender.
Other deserving players in tk|
National League include Pitoj
burgh’s Andy Van Slyke, Atlantaij
Gerald Perry and San Diego’s Tor,
Gwynn. Van Slyke has led theresurl
gence of the Pirates while showin;|
one of the best arms in the majorj
and hitting for power.
As for Perry and Gwynn, neitkj
has a realistic chance because thei:|
teams are buried at the bottom i
the NL West standings.
Perry is leading the NL in hittin;;
with a .323 average, and Gwynn cl
right behind him in the hittkl
charts with a .321 average. It’s scarj
to think how terrible the Bravtil
would be without Perry.

of the 32 teams that were invited to
last year’s NCAA tournament. Four
of the teams finished in the top 10
nationally including Texas (tied for
No.3).
Most of the matches are on the
road, but matches with top teams
such as Northwestern (Sept. 7), Ken
tucky (Oct. 15) Texas (Oct.26) and
Louisiana State (Nov. 11) will be at
G.Rollie White as will the Texas
A&M Invitational (Sept. 9-10).
The Invitational will be a four-
team tourament in which the Lady
Aggies willplay host to three teams
that finished in the Top Twenty last
year: Arizona State, Colorado State
(No. 5) and Ohio State.
Givens wants the students and fac
ulty to meet a challenge he pre
sented in a letter he sent to the fac
ulty and staff of the universir
mailed just before school began.
“If we can generate the same
kinda spirit as the football team and
get the crowd involved that should
be worth a few points when we
at home,” Givens said. “We need
people to come in there and reall)
intimidate teams with their presence
so that when people come in there
their knees get a little wobbly
they feel the pressure of the seventh
man.”
Tonight the Lady Aggies open
their season on the road at Lamara:
7 p.m.. They continue the road trip
with matches at LSU on Friday night
at 7:30 and against the Universityol
New Orleans Saturday at noon. The
home opener is next Wednesday at
7:30 p.m. against Northwestern at
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Viera
(Continued from page 9)
Viera about coming to A&M. Al
though it was a change from Florida,
she said she loves it here.
Playing volleyball at a junior col
lege was a lot less competitive than at
A&M, she said. Being a Division I
program, the Lady Aggies play the
best teams in the country, and always
have to be at their best, she said.
“We play pretty high, pretty much
power volleyball because it’s Division
I,” Viera said.
Being one of two outside attackers
on the court, Viera is right at the
front of the power. She said the most
exciting part of playing her position
is that she has the chance to slam the
ball straight down to the opponents
floor. It’s a great feeling, she said.
Viera said the low point of last
season was that they were such >
mentally “young” team that it took*
long time for the players to filter tht
coaches instructions.
The best part of last year was that
the Lady Aggies learned a lot which
has carried over to this season, she
said. The team members are very re
laxed with each other and spend a
great deal of time together off the
court, Viera said.“We are extreme!)
comfortable together, like a family,
she said. “There are no cliques.”
Having a male coach hasn’t been a
problem to Viera or the rest of the
team, she said.
“As long as he (Givens) knows
what he’s talking about, that’s the
main thing,” she said. She added
that it is good that we have a woman
assistant coach, referring to first
year coach Cindy Alvera.
