Lady Ags sweep Lamar
A&M dominates match, evens season at 4-4
By Alan Lehmann
Of The Battalion Staff
The Lady Aggies showed just how
sweet home can be Wednesday
night. Returning from their first
road trip, A&M demolished Lamar
15-2, 15-10, 15-12.
The scores were deceptive be
cause A&M dominated the match
from the first serve. Lamar only
made a contest of the last game
when the match was in hand and the
substitutes had come in for A&M.
The sweep was A&M’s second of
the year, both coming at G. Rollie
White Coliseum, and evened A&M’s
record at 4-4. Coach A1 Givens said
the win was an important one for
A&M.
“Our goal is to be 7-4 by the end
of September,” Givens said. “Now,
we’re a step closer to that.
“Kelli Kellen had a nice match,
and Alysia Gonzales played very well
in her two games.”
Kellen led A&M with eight kills,
while Gonzales and Krista Hier-
holzer added six each. The Lady Ag
gies boasted a .277 team kill percent
age.
Yvonne Van Brandt started the
match by serving seven points. The
scores came on an ace, kills by Gon
zales, Hierholzer, and Amy Cumings
and three errors.
A&M ran the score up to 12-1 on
a kill by Hierholzer and two by Kel
len.
Lamar managed only two points
in their 11 serving attempts, and
helped A&M with several errors.
Alysia Gonzales ended the game in
style with a powerful kill.
A&M grabbed a 3-0 lead in the
second game on two Gonzales kills.
Three A&M miscues allowed Lamar
to close to 4-3, but the Lady Aggies
scored seven of the next eight points
to put the game out of reach.
Lamar staged a minor comeback
when A&M got sloppy, but sopho
more Sheri Hermesmeyer scored
ended the game on a block and a kill.
In the third game, Givens juggled
his lineup to give all the Lady Aggies
some playing time resulting in a
closer game.
The Lady Aggies again grabbed a
lead, scoring five points on kills by
Hierholzer and Cumings and a Kel
len block.
A&M widened the lead to 11-4 be
fore Lamar scored eight of the next
ten points on five A&M errors.
But the Lady Aggies refused to
lose, and Elizabeth Edmiston served
the final two points to seal the vic
tory.
Givens said he was pleased with
the match and the play of his team.

“We played all of our players who
were healthy and we still swept,” he

play of our young players. We got
ahead and got a chance to try some
new things.

Ryder Cup captain Floyd says
all team will have playing time
SUTTON COLDFIELD, England
(AP) — All 12 American players will
compete at least once every day in
the Ryder Cup matches against Eu
rope, U.S. team captain Ray Floyd
said Tuesday.
“Unless a man comes to me and
says he’s injured, or he does not
want to play, I’ll see he gets a game
every day,” Floyd said. “All 12 play
ers made the team. All deserve to
play.”
“Winning the Ryder Cup is im
portant,” Floyd said. “But it may be
that the Ryder Cup — the sports
manship, the good will, the camara
derie — is more important that win
ning,” he said.
“Good,” responded Tony Jacklin,
the European captain whose team is
seeking a third consecutive victory in
the biennial matches that begin Fri
day at the Belfry.
“He has a lot of new blood (five
Ryder Cup rookies) and they need to
get bloodied,” Jacklin said. “They
need to know what it’s like to play
Ryder Cup on British soil.”
Jacklin, however, declined to fol
low Floyd’s lead in using all his team.
“I make no such promises,” Jack
lin said. “In an ideal world, that
would be nice. But our team is one,
12 as one. It’s the first team to 14*/2
points that wins.
“That’s what we’re trying to do.
We’ll do what we can, what we have
players through the first two days of
competition.
Both Friday and Saturday, the
morning play is four foursomes, in
which two-man teams (eight players
from each side) play alternate shots
on the same ball. Friday and Satur
day afternoons, play will be in four-
ball, in which scoring is based on the
better ball of each two-man team.
Again, only eight players from each
side compete.
Sunday’s play will be given <
12 singles matches, with all pM
from each team in action.
Ryan on verge of sett
record season strikeout r
ARLINGTON (AP) — With only
two scheduled starts left this season,
Texas Rangers ace Nolan Ryan
needs 11 strikeouts each game for a
record sixth season with 300 strike-
: hadi
to, to win again.
The format is such that a captain
can play as few as eight of his 12
outs.
No problem — if Ryan keeps his
season average of 11.9 strikeouts per
game, a pace he fell far below Mon
day night.
If Ryan reaches the 300 strikeout
mark, he would be the first Ameri
can League pitcher to do so since
1977, when Ryan himself fanned
341 batters for the California An
gels. His 383 strikeouts for Califor
nia in 1973 is the most in modern
history.
Ryan fanned only two batters, his
lowest strikeout total of the se;
in 7 and 1 -3 innings in a 5-2 win
Seattle Monday.
“It was the worst stuff I’ve
year,” Ryan said. He said he lad
control and power.
The game marked only the
ond time in 674 major-league staH
that Ryan has pitched more tjtf
seven innings and had fewer
three strikeouts.
&
His next starts will be against (
cago on Sunday and against *
land next week.
On Aug. 22, Ryan struckoutOU
land’s Rickey Henderson for tk
5,000 strikeout of his career.
Braves ’ owner upset over Giants ’ claim
ATLANTA (AP) — Russ Nixon was livid.
The manager of the Atlanta Braves also vowed to re
member “this little deal,” which should make next sea
son’s first meeting with the San Francisco Giants rather
interesting.
“I’m not blowing this off,” Nixon said Tuesday night
after being told by National League President Bill
White that the Giants were complaining about the
Braves’ lineup against the Houston Astros — a team still
in contention in the NL West race.
“Who’s kidding who?” Nixon asked after his lineup
filled with youth handed the Astros a 3-0 defeat, push
ing Houston six games behind the first-place Giants.
“I don’t think if I had a five-game lead and the best
club in the league I’d be worrying too much about a
last-place club,” Nixon said. “I’m going to remember
this, damn right I am.
“That kind of burns me up. The Giants are getting
paranoid out there. I wonder it they called Cincinnati,
too, and told them not to pitch (rookie Scott) ScudAi
told them to throw (Tom) Browning every night."
Cincinnati dropped a 5-1 decision to the sec
place San Diego Padres, who remained five gamesb
hind the Giants, a 3-2 winner over the Los AngrfB
Dodgers.
“Maybe they are better than the guys he’s been m|j
ning out there,” Giants manager Roger Craig sa» j
“Maybe Nixon knows what he’s doing, and he wants 5
see them play. I can understand that. He wants to ip
good look at them. That’s why he brought them up.
“I’ll call him (Nixon) a genius if they win,” Craigsa* j
“I’ll withdraw it.”
Nixon said White telephoned him 30 minutes beW:

complaint” by the Giants, who alleged that Atb*l
