Pitching keys SFA Men’s tennis beats Bears
to sweep of A&M for flrst conference win
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
NACOGDOCHES — Stephen F.
Austin State used outstanding pitch
ing by Sandy Green and Paula Grove
^to shut down Texas A&M in a dou
bleheader sweep by socres of 2-0 and
3-0 in collegiate softball action Tues
day.
Green tossed a no-hitter in the
first game while Grove scattered five
hits in the nightcap to boost the La-
dyjacks to 27-10 on the year while
A&M dropped to 21-17.
The Ladyjacks, ranked fourth in
Aggie softball
• Score: Stephen F. Austin State
sweeps A&M 2-0 and 3-0.
• Record: 21-17.
• Next game: Friday against West
ern Illinois in the first round of the
Oklahoma State Cowgirl Classic at
11:30 a.m.
the NCAA Central Region, solid
ified their NCAA playoff chances
while the Lady Aggies, ranked sev
enth in the region, were dealt a se
vere blow.
A&M Head Coach Bob Brock
blamed the A&M’s anemic offensive
performance on a lack of batting
practice during workouts this week.
“We didn’t do a good job of get
ting ready for this game and it sho
wed,” Brock said. “We didn’t get the
hitting we’ve been having.
“We got beat offensively. We
didn’t hit as much in practice as we
needed to this week.”
Green’s no-hitter was the first
thrown at the Lady Aggies since a
early-round loss to Cal-State Ful
lerton in the 1986 NCAA College
World Series. Green allowed only
three Lady Aggies to reach base, two
via bases on balls and one on an er
ror. She struck out seven (a season-
high for an A&M opponent) in mov
ing her record to 15-4.
Freshman Dana Mitchell took
both losses for A&M as her record
dropped to 21-16. Mitchell gave up
five hits and two runs in the first
game while striking out two and
walking one.
The Ladyjacks jumped on Mitch
ell early in the opener by scoring a
run in the first inning. With one out,
Green reached on a fielder’s choice
and scored on a triple by Angela
Hancock.
SFA added the other score in the
fifth as Julie McMinn singled to cen
ter field and eventually scored on a
fielder’s choice by Gina Webb.
The Ladyjacks took the nightcap
by scoring single runs in the second,
third and sixth innings.
Grove picked up the win to go to
12-6 on the year. She allowed no
runs on five hits while walking one
and striking out one.
Mitchell had a slightly tougher
time in the closer as she gave up nine
hits, three runs and one base on
balls. She struck out three SFA hit
ters.
Grove helped her own cause by
singling in the second and scoring
on a base hit to right field by Denise
Batchelor. A&M’s Tory Parks mis-
played the ball in right and allowed
Grove to circle the bases giving SFA
a 1-0 lead.
SFA added another run in the
third as Phyllis Aswell, who reached
on an infield hit, scored on a triple to
right by Green for a 2-0 lead.
The Lady Aggies made their only
scoring threat of the evening in the
top of the fourth when they squan
dered a bases-loaded opportunity.
Stephanie Schulte and Erin New
kirk both singled and Erika Eriksson
reached on an error. However,.
A&M couldn’t capitalize on the situ
ation and went down without a
score.
In the sixth, Batchelor doubled
home Hancock, who had walked, to
give SFA the final run of the game.
Despite the losses, Brock is hope
ful his team can return to winning
form this weekend as A&M heads to
Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma
State Cowgirl Classic.
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
. Texas A&M’s men’s tennis team
captured its first Southest Confer
ence victory Tuesday by knocking
off the Baylor Bears 8-1 at the Omar
Smith Tennis Center.
The Aggies won all six singles
matches and took two of three in
doubles.
Assistant Coach Tim Drain said
the victory was much needed after
recently dropping matches to Rice
and Texas Tech.
“We needed this win because of
the confidence factor,” Drain said.
“We hadn’t lost to Tech or Rice in 10
years, so we needed to beat up on
somebody.”
The Aggie men lost just one set in
singles play. No. 5 Craig Whitteker
lost the first set to Baylor’s Monty
Horne before rebounding to win 3-
6, 6-3, 6-1.
In the No. 1 position, A&M ’s
Shaun O’Donovan fought back
Craig O’Shannessy 6-2, 7-6. No. 2
Gustavo Espinosa won for the Ag
gies 6-1, 6-2 over the Bears’ Reich
Chandler.
Matt Zisette, the No. 3 Aggie, shut
out Baylor’s Jeff Engelke in the first
set, and won 6-0, 6-2.
Doug Brown was up to the chal
lenge of Baylor’s Peter Klinousky in
the No. 4 spot, taking the match 6-3,
6-2. And No. 6 Blake Barsalou fin
ished the shutout for A&M \vitha6-
3, 6-3 win over the Bears’ Chris
Wade.
Drain said getting off to such a
quick start against Baylor gave A&M
the edge it needed.
“The key today was our strong
start,” he said. “If we fall behind,
we’re in trouble.”
The Aggies also came out strong
in doubles action as the No. 1 team
of Espinosa and Whitteker beat
Wade and Engelke 6-0, 6-2.
A&M faltered on the next set, see
ing Horne and Chandler overcome
O’Donovan and Zisette 6-4, 5-7,6-3.
But A&M’s Brown and Barsalou
came back to finish the day with a 6-
1, 7-6 win over Klinousky and
O’Shannessy.
The Aggies play 19th-ranked Ar
kansas Saturday at the Tennis Cen
ter. Drain said the team wants to be
prepared for the SWC tournament
April 21-22.
“Our goal is to get some confi
dence in our last three matches be
fore conference,” he said. We need
this kind of effort going into Arkan
sas. If we get the same kind of effort
Saturday, that’s all we can ask for.
“We especially want to compete
well with a team like Arkansas. If we
play each point hard, we can beat
Arkansas — we proved that against
Indiana (No. 1 1 when A&M de
feated them).”
Astros knock off Cincinnati
HOUSTON (AP) — Ken Cam-
initi’s two-run single highlighted
a four-run, first inning and his
fielding helped thwart a seventh
inning Cincinnati rally, leading
the Houston Astros to a 5-3 vic
tory over the Reds Tuesday
night.
Caminiti caught Ken Griffey’s
line drive to third and then
doubled off Ron Oester at first
base after the Reds had sc ored
two runs in the seventh
Ric k Mahlei, 0-2, started for
the Reds and lost his ninth
straight decision to Houston.
Billy Hatcher reached base on
third baseman Chris Sabo’s two-
base fielding error to start the As
tros’ first. Hatcher went to third
on Craig Reynolds’ ground out
and scored on a single by ferry
Puhl.
Bill Doran singled and Kevin
Bass walked and both runners
scored on Caminiti’s single to
make it 4-0.
Schramm’s days in Dallas are numbered
IRVING (AP) — Tex Schramm
won’t be in the Dallas Cowboys’ front
office much longer.
Schramm, the glue that held to
gether one of the NFL’s most suc
cessful franchises, is too much a pro
fessional and a loyalist to jump the
gun on his announcement as the
commissioner for a new NFL Inter
national League.
But he said on Tuesday, “I’m
keeping my options open.”
However, Schramm, president
and general manager since the club’s
founding, has been on the outside
looking in since Jerry Jones pur
chased the Cowboys from Bum
Bright on Feb. 25.
For example:
• Schramm didn’t know Jones
gave new coach Jimmy Johnson a
10-year contract until reporters told
him.
• Schramm wasn’t asked to join a
meeting last weekend between
Jones, Johnson, quarterback pros
pect Troy Aikman and his agent,
Leigh Steinberg.
• Schramm didn’t attend a recent
beer and barbecue session that John
son and Jones held for the players.
Jones invited some 100 business
friends including Dallas Mavericks’
owner Donald Carter to the affair.
Asked about being left out in the
decision-making cold, Schramm
said, “That’s the prerogative of the
new owner. He said from the begin
ning he was going to be involved in
everything from socks to jockstraps.
He has.”
Schramm also said from the be
ginning he didn’t think he could
handle a day-to-day caretaker role
after nearly three decades of calling
the shots.
“That’s not my style,” he said.
Schramm won’t admit he’s made a
decision but he talks like he’s de
cided to do something other than be
a figurehead for the Cowboys.
All the signs are there.
He will be in New York City on
Tuesday at a special meeting when
owners vote on the sale of the Cow
boys and proposals for the organiza
tion and operation of an Interna
tional League.
“The prospect of the Interna
tional League interests me,”
Schramm said. “I’m very happy and
very proud of what’s been accom
plished here. I’m also pleased I
could make a contribution as far as
• the league is concerned. I feel an in
dividual club’s success depends on
the strength and soundness of the
league.”
As sure as Schramm helped in
vent instant replay as a member of
the NFL Competition Committee,
his days as a Cowboy are numbered.
“It would be a difficult decision
for me because this has been my life
for 30 years,” Schramm said. “I
guess the thing I would miss would
be that relationship with all the fans.
You get to know ’em all.”
However, Schramm on Tuesday
spoke like he would soon be gone.
He was eager to reminisce about his
days with the Cowboys.
TANK iM <: NAMAKA
Asked his proudest moment with
the Cowboys, Schramm said “both
winning and reaching the highest
pinnacle of popularity at the same
time. This franchise accomplished
what few franchises have accom
plished.”
Asked his best decision, Schramm
said “Well, after (the late original
owner) Clint Murchison had confi
dence in me to run the team I guess
it would be hiring Tom Landry.
That was a pretty good decision.”
Landry was fired when Jones
bought the team. Schramm wept at
the press conference when Landry’s
dismissal was announced.
What was the worst decision?
Schramm laughed for a full min
ute.
“Oh, I don’t look back on my deci
sions that way,” he said. “You have
to make the decision that you feel is
right when you make it. If it doesn’t
work it doesn’t work. You don’t have
the luxury of looking back.”
He thought a minute and added,
“I’d like to take back the statements I
made about Tom Dempsey’s toe.”
Schramm criticized the crippled
New Orleans Saints placekicker after
he set the NFL record 63-yard field
goal. Schramm said the shoe Demp
sey used should be declared illegal.
The story ran on the Associated
Press wire and Schramm was bom
barded with letters, telegrams and
telephone calls.
“1 learned two things from that,’’
he said. “First, I was wrong, and sec
ond, what kind of circulation theAP
had.”
Schramm, who recently published
a book called “Tex: The Man Who
Built the Dallas Cowboys,” now finds
himself in another awkward posi
tion: taking orders from a rookie
owner.
Gould the International League
be an honorable and productive way
out for Tex?
“You wouldn’t have to use your
imagination much,” Schramm said.
Jones himself seemed to be en
couraging Schramm’s interest in the
league, saying, “One way or the
other the Cowboys are going to have
to share Tex with the new league.”
Jones won’t rule out a possible
dual role for Schramm, working for
the Cowboys and the new league,
but that’s not what the signs say.
