Brenham’s Peters breaks victory record
Aggie baseball signee no-hits Consolidated to set national mark
By Alan Lehmann
SPORTS WRITER
You’d expect a pitcher with 51
consecutive nigh school pitching vic
tories to have a blazing fastball and
an ego as big as an Alaskan oil spill.
But Jon Peters, who now holds the
national record for most consecutive
high school victories, is as untouched
by fame as his curveballs are by op
posing hitters.
The Brenham ace recorded his
51st victory without a loss Friday
night in Brenham in front of about
4,000 spectators and droves of na
tional media.
He did it in grand style as he shat
tered the old record held by Timmy
Moore of McColl, S.C. Not only did
he throw a no-hitter against the
A&M Consolidated Tigers, but he
provided plenty of offense as well.
With his team winning 9-0 in the
bottom of the fifth inning and a run
ner on second base, he laced a two-
out RBI single to end the game by
the 10-run rule.
Although Peters was three for
three at the plate and drove in two
runs, he would rather have ended
the game on the mound.
“I would have liked to have gone
another inning to end the game with
a strikeout,” Peters said.
Peters did record 12 strikeouts,
retiring the last eight men in order,
seven of the outs coming on strike
outs.
Although Peters has struck out 10
or more hitters in 29 of his 54 career
starts, he sees himself as a control
pitcher.
“I don’t have an overpowering
fastball,” he said. “I have to put the
ball where I want it to get hitters
out.”
Peters hasn’t had any trouble get
ting the hitters out this year. His no
hitter Friday was his third of the sea
son.
But don’t think Peters has let that
fact inflate his ego.
“I couldn’t win without my team
mates,” he said, “Every time I go out
they hit the ball and play good de
fense.”
Brenham’s other pitcher is no
stranger to success either. James Nix
is currently seventh on the national
list of consecutive wins by a high
school pitcher with 25. But Peters
said there is no rivalry between the
two.
“James and I pull for each other,”
Peters said. “He’s thrown the ball
well for us this year. There’s no ri
valry. We both just want to get back
to the state championship.”
If Brenham does get back to Ait
tin this year, they would be defend
ing their three consecutive class di
state championships dating back i
1986.
Off the field, Peters handli
homework as easily as he does hi
ters, evidenced by his 92 overal
grade point average in high school
“My parents taught me early it
study,” he said.
His strong sense of disciplinecai
ries over to his conditioning prt
gram. Although he works will
weights only during the off-seasor.
Peters runs two miles daily, and me
laps around the field after game
and practices.
Peters also has a level-headed
tude about higher education.
“Even if I get drafted high, I’llji
to college,” he said. “I’m not readyit
play professionally yet.”

PuhPs two-run triple
leads Astros over Mets
HOUSTON (AP) — Terry Puhl
had a two-run triple and two singles
Sunday and Mike Scott defeated
New York for the first time in the
regular season since May 16, 1985,
as Houston won 7-6 to snap the
Mets’ six-game winning streak.
“My job is to spot start, and today
was one of those fortunate days that
I came to the plate and did well,”
said Puhl, a starter from 1977 to
1984, until injuries in 1985 and 1986
limited him to 57 and 81 games, re
spectively.
“I feel as long as I’m swinging the
bat well, I should start. But I’ve been
saying that for five years now.”
Scott, 4-1, left the game after five
innings due to tightness in his left
hamstring. He struck out six and al
lowed five hits and three unearned
earned. It was his shortest stint as a
starter.
“They were sitting on the fast
ball,” Cone said. “The other pitches
didn’t work, either. I was overthrow
ing the fastball and the location was
bad.”
Dave Smith pitched 1 2-3 innings
for his fourth save, allowing a run in
the ninth inning.
Kevin McReynolds led off the
ninth with a pinch single and moved
to third on Len Dykstra’s double.
Howard Johnson, who drove in four
runs, hit a grounder to first to score
McReynolds, but Smith got Keith
Hernandez to hit a grounder back to
the mound and Darryl Strawberry
ended the game with a bouncer to
first base.
runs.
Scott, who was acquired from New
York in 1982 for Danny Heep, en
tered the game with a 2-7 lifetime
mark against the Mets.
David Cone, 2-2, lasted only 2 1-3
innings for New York, allowing
seven hits and seven runs, five
Johnson has a seven-game hitting
streak in which he is 13-for-29 with
nine runs batted in.
“This would’ve been a tough one
to let slip away,” Smith said. “A 7-3
lead just won’t do it against the
Mets.”
Ryan out-duels Clemens
as Texas stops Red Sox
ARLINGTON (AP) — Nolan
Ryan won the first battle between
the best fastball pitchers in Texas,
leading the Rangers past Roger
Clemens and the Boston Red Sox 2-
1 Sunday on Rafael Palmeiro’s two-
run homer in the eighth inning.
Under a 82-degree Texas sun,
each pitcher threw his best heat. The
42-year-old Ryan allowed three hits
in eight innings and struck out 11,
the 184th time in his career he
struck out 10 or more. His 49 strike
outs in 35 innings lead the American
League.
Boston scored in the first when
Ryan threw a wild pitch with a run
ner at third. That held up until the
eighth, when Cecil Espy singled and
Palmeiro homered off the right-field
foul pole, 330 feet away.
It was the second home run of the
year for Palmeiro and broke a streak
of 24 consecutive scoreless innings
for Clemens against Texas.
The 26-year-old Clemens gave
Texas a taste of inside pitching in
the first inning, knocking Palmeiro
down with a high, tight fastball.
Steve Buechele was hit by Clem
ens in the second inning after Geno
Petralli had singled and moved to
second on a groundout. The Texas
threat ended when Jeff Stone
grounded out.
Russell pitched a perfect ninth for
his fifth save.

FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
Andre Cason’s meet record in
the 100-meter dash highlighted
four wins by the Texas A&M
track team at the 80th Drake Re
lays over the weekend.
Cason’s hand time of 10.06
would have been the fastest in the
world this year but the automatic
timing system malfunctioned.
However, when a hand time is
used, it must be rounded up to
the nearest tenth. Thus Cason’s
time was officially recorded as
10.1.
Alabama’s Calvin Smith, who
covered the distance in 10.11 sec
onds in 1983, still holds the fast
est automatic time.
A&M’s 400-meter relay team
of Cason, Stanley Kerr, Derrick
Florence and Howard Davis ran
to first place in a time of 39.67. It
was A&M’s third victory in as
many years in the event.
Jamaican Olympian Richard
Bucknor streaked to victory for
the Aggies in the 110-meter hur
dles in a time of 13.90 seconds.lt
was his first competition since he
injured his leg at the Texas Re
lays April 8.
A&M’s Mike Stulce remained
unbeaten by collegians this year
with a heave of 66-9!4. Stulce’s
last defeat was at the Drake Re
lays a year ago.
The A&M women didn’t fare
as well as they faced their tough
est competition so far this year.
However there were some good
finishes for A&M.
The sprint medley relay of Al-
issa Bell, Cheryl Henderson, Ro-
salynn Hunt and Jackie joaes
placed third with a time of
1:43.72.
Bell led the Lady Aggies indi
vidually with a fourth place finisli
in the longjump.
