This is a team that will at least repeat atrip to post-season play. "I think this is a team that should seta goal of getting to World Series, cause once you get there anything an happen.” If the Aggies do return to the World Series this year, it will be on the shoulders of a solid infield and the team’s pitching. Leading the two-member pitching staff is Missi Young. The sophomore from Santa Fe was 26-11 last year with a 0.61 earned run average. During the fall, she was named the MVP at the exibition season’s World Series equivalent. She won six games en route to A&M winning the Third Annual Coors Light National Invita tional Championship. This year Young is 4-0 with a 0.25 ERA and she won the Most Valuable Pitcher award at the Northeast Illi nois Tournament. Young said what will make the difference this year as opposed to last year will be added experience. “We’ve really jumped off the bat this year,” Young said. |!A lot of it has to do with the maVurity that you see with the team, we’re more consis tent. We’re stronger offensively, but I think we’re more sound defensi vely, we’re more air tight. The div ing plays are there where they weren’t last year. “I would say that was because of age, but the one who’s been doing it the most is Jennifer (McFalls) and she’s a freshman.” In addition to Young, the Aggies’ second pitcher puts up some impres sive numbers as well. Dana Mitchell, from Skiatook, Oklahoma, was 21-8 in 1990 w'ith a 1.08 ERA and she’s posted a 3-0 record this year. Joining McFalls, the shortstop and the only freshman on the scjuad, on the left side of the infield is junior Rhonda Halpert, who’s hitting .409 with four doubles and three RBIs. McFalls broke her jaw in the last exhibition game of the fall sliding into home plate trying to stretch out a triple. The jaw healed properly and she’s suffering no ill side-effects, which is evident by her .389 batting average. Playing second is sophomore Ka ren Kalhoefer (.318) and junior Ste phanie Schulte (.381) rounds out the infield at first. The outfield is anchored with the team’s two seniors. Barbara Kajs, from Wichita Falls, is in right and Stacey Crainer-Lucas, from Arling ton, is in centerfield. Brock said while his two seniors might not lead Dr. Poanlsch BSBW313 Dr. Schro«t©r Butter 103 the team offensively, their experi ence makes them invaluable to the team. “They are the two remaining from our last World Series team, so they know what it takes to get to that point,” Brock said. “They get the team ready before the games and they do a lot of the team-oriented things.” Junior Michelle Mayfield, from Belton, joins Kajs and Crainer-Lucas in the outfield in left. Catcher seemed to be the question mark entering the season, as starter Chris Wilfong was unable to play be cause of elbow problems. But Dawn Wuthrich and Sharia Cannon have stepped in quite nicely to fill the void. They are two of the top three hit ters on the team with Wuthrich hit ting .400 and Cannon is 10-of-18 for a .556 average. She is also the desig nated hitter and backing five differ ent positions. Brock said the one thing he wants to change from last year ts the way the team finished. “What I want to do is put the nail in the coffin in the end of the sea son,” he said. “I’m happy with the way we started, but I’d rather be playing that kind of ball in the last week of April. What we need to do is do a better job of finishing up the season.” Sponsored by: Alpha Epsilon Delta. Pre-Med/Pre-Dent Society.
