The Texas A&M baseball team got a step
closer to post-season play as the Aggies took
one game from Arkansas in a three-game
series last weekend.
With the two victories, the No. 4 Razor-
backs (45-10, 16-5) clinched their first out
right Southwest Conference baseball
championship, finishing with a half-game
lead over second-place Texas.
Arkansas and Texas A&M had split a
doubleheader on Saturday, bringing the ti-
DALLAS (AP) — Four former team ex-
:cutives with the Dallas Cowboys have sued
:he team and owner Jerry Jones, alleging
^hat they were victims of fraud and age dis-
ximinadon.
The lawsuit claims they were assured
their jobs were safe and later were Fired, the
taJJas Times Herald reported.
Former empioyees I>on Wiison, Ann
.loyd, Doug Todd and Peggie Bullock seek
a total of $10 million in damages, reinstate-
ient and tost wages.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District
lourt last week.
Jones was unavailable for comment
uesday. Jack Dixon, team treasurer, said
lowboys executives had not seen the law
suit and could not comment on it.
tie down to Sunday’s game. If Arkansas had
lost Sunday, Texas would have won the
championship.
The 43-17, 11-10 Aggies are still waiting
to see if they will get their chance at the
SWC tournament. With one win against Ar
kansas, A&M must wait and hope Rice will
lose one game against Texas Tech this
weekend, giving up the fourth place posi
tion to the Aggies.
Arkansas, Texas and Houston have all
qualified for the SWC postseason tourna
ment set for May 17 -T9 in Austin, Texas.
Friday’s game between A&M and the Ra-
zorbacks was postponed to Sunday due to
rain so the two teams first faced each other
in Saturday’s doubleheader.

4-3 after Rich Robertson pitched a_ full
game with only two hits. Arkansas had the

A&M’s Travis Williams looks to the umpire for the call after attempting to score against Rice in the April 6-7 series. The
Aggies must hope for at least one Owl loss to Texas Tech this weekend for A&M to gain a berth in the SWC tourna
ment. Arkansas, Texas and Houston have all secured spots in the postseason tournament.

The Razorbacks sealed the 6-2 victory in
the second game when, with a 2-2 tie going
into the eighth inning, A&M pitcher Ron
nie Allen gave up three hits and second
baseman Trey Witte was tagged with an er
ror, giving Arkansas the go-ahead runs.
On Sunday, the Aggies jumped to an
early lead with a two-run homer off the bat
of designated hitter David Rollen.
Arkansas scored one run in the second
and three more in the third on a three-run
homer by Piskor.
A&M came back to tie it at four in the
fourth when Razorback starter Gary Harris
walked Rollen and gave up a double to left-
Fielder Chad Broussard, and later a double
by Witte scored two.
