Ags blast Raiders
to open SWC slate
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
LUBBOCK — Top-ranked Texas
AfcM blew into Lubbock and dusted
Texas Tech by a 53-7 margin as the
Aggies swept a three-game series to
open Southwest Conference play for
both teams.
Mike Easley had four of A&M’s 23
hits and John Byington had eight
RBIs as the Aggies beat Texas Tech
27-2 Friday and swept Tech in a
twinbill by scores of 15-1 and 11-4
Saturday.
The Aggies improved to 29-1 on
the season and 3-0 in SWC play,
while the Red Raiders fell to 18-11
overall and 0-3 in league play. A&M
has now beaten Tech 18 straight
times.
“It was one of those weekends,”
A&M Head Coach Mark Johnson
said. “Everything went well for us,
and everything went bad for them.”
A&M pounded Tech for 58 hits

during the series while Aggie pitch
ers gave up only 26 to the Raiders.
“A&M was real disciplined at the
plate and they hit the ball real well,”
Tech Head Coach Larry Hays said.
“Our pitchers didn’t do anything. If
we threw a strike it was down the
middle, and if we threw a ball it was
so far out of the zone that they
wouldn’t swing at it.”
Friday’s game was never in doubt.
The 27 runs were the most ever al
lowed by Texas Tech. Arkansas
scored 25 runs against the Red Raid
ers in 1972. The Aggies also lied a
record for most hits allowed by a
Tech team.
The Aggies scored three in the
second inning, but Tech scored one
in the bottom frame before Texas
A&M exploded for 12 in the third.
Texas A&M had 18 batters in the
third and eight hits.
Pat Sweet went the distance on the
mound for Texas A&M, improving
to 5-1 with the win. Tech’s Eric
Kleinsorge, 1-3, took the loss after
pitching two and one-third innings.
He surrendered nine earned runs.
Jim Neumann went 6-for-8 at the
plate and had four RBIs to pace
A&M's doubleheader sweep of Tech
Saturday.
A&M hit eight home runs in the
two games, including three by Terry
Taylor and two by Easley.
Ronnie Allen, 6-0 and 1-0, got the
win for the Aggies in the first game,
giving up five hits and no runs for
five innings. Rodney Steph, 3-4 and
0-1, took the loss in the game.
Keith Langston, 4-0 and 1-0, won
the nightcap for A&M, while Kurt
Shipley, 1 -2 and 0-1, got the loss.
In Saturday’s first game, the Ag
gies broke open a 3-0 game with a
six-run barrage in the sixth inning.
The Red Raiders managed a 2-2
tie after three innings in the second
game, before A&M scored nine runs
over the next five innings.
A&M hosts Dallas Baptist in a
non-conference doubleheader Tues
day at 5:30 before a single game with
Nebraska at Olsen Field Wednesday
at 7 p.m.
A&M resumes SWC play this
weekend by hosting Baylor Friday
and Saturday.

12 and 16 points, routed Virginia

This weekend four college basketball teams
reached the pinnacle of the sport by advancing to
college basketball’s greatest snow — the Final
Four.
Each year the NCAA basketball tournament
captures the attention of sports fans for three
successive weekends. It seems each year there is a
team which serves as a Cinderella story.
This decade has provided more than its share
of shocking upset winners. There was North
Carolina State winning it all in 1983 by shocking
the Houston Cougars. Villanova played what
many call “the perfect game” in downing
Georgetown in the 1985 title game. Kansas filled
the bill last year as the Jayhawks, losers of ten
regular season games, beat heavily-favored
Oklahoma.
This year, at least on paper, the Final Four has
only one candidate for the miracle role. Seton
Hall, a doormat in the Big East as recently as
Doug
Walker
Sports Editor
three years ago, is making its first trip to the big
show.
In reality, the case could be made for three
Cinderella-types arriving at the big dance.
The Pirates are making only their second
appearance in the NCAAs — ever. Their first
trip was last season. But don’t fit Pirates Coach
PJ- Carlesimo for the slippers just yet.
When Michigan lost Coach Bill Frieder right
before their first round game the Wolverines
looked like a lost cause. Michigan has always
dazzled opponents with great athletic ability.
However, the Wolverines had always managed to
lose early in the tournament.
With Frieder gone, Steve Fisher tool over and
has the Wolverines in the Final Four for the first
time since 1976.
' Illinois was a similar case.The Illini were
perennial underachievers at tournament time
until this year.
Last year, the Illini lost to Villanova after
leading by ten with two minutes to go. With this
year’s talented group, the Illini got the top seed
in the Midwest although they have no starters
taller than 6-8.
But the Illini have more heart than the others.
They play with more desire and that’s why
Illinois is my pick to win it all.
