Mitchell
(Continued from page 9)
(four to seven a week), one might ex
pect that Mitchell’s personal stats
would be modest at best. Instead,
Mitchell has excelled.
Mitchell is 21-14 on the year. She
has pitched 11 shutouts, six in a row
at the beginning of the season, and
has a 1.59 earned run average. She
has pitched one no-hitter and three
one-nitters.
Although she has walked more
batters (75) than she has struck out
(68), she has not walked more than
three batters in a game in 32 of 35
games. She has gotten at least one
strikeout in al but four games. She
has allowed only one home run in
256 innings.
What makes Mitchell’s stats more
impressive is the fact that she did not
fare too well in the fall season.
Mitchell was 3-4 in seven games with
a2.41 ERA this fall.
Mitchell said that while personal
goals are nice, the team’s goals come
first.
"It would be nice not to lose any
more games, but the team is the im
portant thing,” she said. “We feel
April is our month and we want to
make it to Regionals and then the
World Series.”
One of Mitchell’s personal goals is
to do well this weekend in the Okla
homa State Cowgirl Hall of Fame
Classic.
“Since I’m from Oklahoma, I
want to go up there and win,” she
said. “My folks don’t get to see many
of our games so this will be a chance
for them to see me pitch.”
Mitchell said Brock has helped
her improve her game significantly.
“Coach Brock has worked with me
and helped me improve my mechan
ics,” she said.
The one area Mitchell says she has
to work on is her batting.
“I love to bat because it lets me af
fect the game offensively instead of
just by pitching,” she said. “At first
Coach didn’t let me bat because he
didn’t want to risk an injury.
“Now that Carrie (Heightly) is
hurt, I get to bat. However, I haven’t
been doing to well.”
The general studies major said
her decision to come to A&M was in
fluenced by A&M’s reputation in
softball and academics.
A&M has won two NCAA cham
pionships in softball in the 1980s.
“I sent Coach Brock a tape of me
when I was in high school and he
wrote back and offered me a schol
arship,” she said. “A&M is one of the
top academic schools in the country
and coming to A&M was beyond my
wildest expectations.”
Mitchell said one thing that makes
the season easier is the fact that she
knows she won’t be the only one
pitching next year.
“Coach Brock has already signed
two more pitchers for next year and
Michel will also be here,” she said.
It looks like the one pitcher tradi
tion will finally die next year.

Faldo joins select group A&M softball team
by winning Masters title tackles Ladyjacks
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — There
was the green jacket of a Masters
champion in the luggage Nick Faldo
loaded into his car at the hotel Mon
day morning.
It had been around his shoulders
until the early morning hours as
Faldo basked in the aftermath of his
playoff victory over Scott Hoch.
And it served as a prop when he
was asked if the meaning of his tri
umph had really dawned on him.
“Oh, yes,” he said, paused and fin
gered the lapel of the jacket. He
smiled, continued to caress the
jacket and repeated: “Oh, yes.”
Before starting the two-hour
drive through a steacly^rain to Hilton
Head, S.C., and this week’s Heritage
Classic, Faldo considered some of
implications, both for himself and
for European golf in general.
“It proves we’re still on a roll,” the
man from Surrey, England said, a
reference to the growing dominance
of foreign players in world golf.
His Masters victory marked the
fifth time in the decade of the 1980s
that a European player had won a
green jacket. An American has not
won the British Open in five years.
The Europeans won the Ryder Cup
competition against America’s best
the last two times the matches have
been held, in 1985 and ’87.
“We’re slowly proving what we’re
made of,” said Faldo, who won the
1987 British Open, lost the 1988
U.S. Open in a playoff and now is
the 1989 Masters winner.
“The world of international golf is
very strong now,” said Faldo, who
holds membership in both the Euro
pean and American tours.
“Our tour (the European tour)
has advanced tremendously. The
standards definitely have been
raised.
“1 honestly believe there are a half
dozen men at the top of the game. I
believe I am one of them.”
He ticked off the others: Seve Bal
lesteros of Spain, Greg Norman of
Australia, Sandy Lyle of Scotland,
Ian Woosnam of Wales and Curtis
Strange, the only American on the
list.
On a more personal basis, it raised
Faldo to a new, higher status, the
level of those who have won multiple
major championships.
“That’s two,” he said, then cor
rected himself. “Two and a half,
with the U.S. Open.
“I caught up with Sandy again,”
Faldo said of his lifelong friend and
golfing foe.
Until now, Lyle has been the
leader. He won the British Open
(1985) before Faldo did. He won the
Masters (1988) before Faldo did.
“Now I’ve got to get ahead of
him,” Faldo said. “The U.S. Open,”
he said. “That’s it.” And he nodded
to himself.
From a financial standpoint,
Faldo won $200,000. But that’s a
small portion of the benefits he can
expect accrue, his London-based
manager from the International
Management Group said. The esti
mate was between $3.5 million to
more than $5 million in the next two
or three years.

Riding a four game winning
streak, the Texas A&M softball team
Aggie softball
• Record: 21-15.
• Today’s game: A&M meets Ste-
hen F. Austin State in a double-
eader today in Nacogdoches at 5
p.m.
will try to improve its standing in the
NCAA Central Division today when
they travel to Nacogdoches to play a
double-header against Stephen F.
Austin.
A&M is ranked seventh in the Di
vision while Stephen F. Austin is
ranked fourth.
This is the second time this year
that A&M will face the Ladyjacks.
A&M won the first game 5-4 in 11
innings.
The Ladyjacks are 25-10 and have
won 13 of their last 14 games. A&M
by
is 21-15 and riding a four game win
streak after sweeping doubleheaders
against the University of Texas at
Arlington and Southwest Texas
State.
“We are hoping that April is our
month,”. A&M Head Coach Bob
Brock said. “We are playing well
right now and having played a tough
schedule early should help us down
the stretch.”
A&M is 4-0 in the month of April.
A&M will also be hoping that Car
rie Heightley will be able to return to
the lineup.
Heightley injured her ankle in
California and has missed nine
games.
“We are hoping to have Carrie
back in the lineup sometime this
week,” Brock said. “The team has
really come through and picked up
the slack while she has been out.”
Heightley was leading the team in
RBI with 13 when she went down.
A&M’s next home game will be
April 19 when they play Sam Hous
ton State in their final home game of
the year.
A&M will be playing in the Okla
homa State Cowgirls Hall of Fame
Classic this weekend.
