Outdoor track
opens in Laredo
The Battalion News Services
Texas A&M's outdoor track
and field season will begin this
weekend at the Border Olympics
in Laredo. The outdoor season be
gins for the Aggies after a success
ful indoor track season.
For the first time ever, both the
men's and women's team finished
in the upper half at the Southwest
Conference Championships in the
same year. Based on the indoor
success, A&M head coach Ted
Nelson feels confident about this
year'’s outdoor campaign.
"We are coming off a really
strong indoor season where some
young athletes found out what it's
like to compete at the collegiate
level," Nelson said. "Our finishes
at the SWC Indoors has given our
young people some confidence
and we hope that will carry over
into the outdoor season."
"The Border Olympics will
give us a good indication of how
some of our younger athletes have
made the transition to college
competition."

Tim Holt as possible replacements
for Smith.
But Johnson also knows the
Aggies will miss Hickey and
Smith.
"There's no question, when
you take away your three and five
hitters,! can't pretend to tell you
there's no difference," he said.
“There are both two quality offen
sive players."
He a/so said that defensively
the Aggies will be belYihd because
the double play combination of
Hickey and shortstop Jason Mar-
: shall will be broken up.
Tonight's game starts at 7 p.m.
Jeff Granger is schelduled to pitch
for the Aggies. Granger is 3-1 on
the season and has a 2.20 ERA. He
leads the Aggies in strikeouts with
33.
Granger was named the South
west Conference Co-Player of the
Week after his performance in the
Oscar Mayer Classic in Minnesta.
Granger got the win against Mis
sissippi State after throwing ten
innings of shutout baseball in the
Aggies 5-0 win.
Saturday, the teams play a
doubleheader at 2 p.m. The Ag
gies will start pitcher Brian Harri
son in the first game, who is 2-0 on

A&M is 12-5,4-2 in SWC play.
The Bears are 9-8, and 3-6 in SWC
action.
The Aggies are ranked No. 21
in the nation by Baseball America
and No. 25 in Collegiate Baseball.
A&M comes into the series
with something to prove after be
ing swept by the Bears last season
in College Station.
Johnson knows the Bears will
be a tough challenge for th6 Ag
gies. ' "
"Baylor is a good ballclub," he
said. "They should have taken
two out of three games from
Texas. They play very well. They
hit the ball well and they have ca
pable pitchers.
"I know the scouts have been
very impressed with their pitch
ers. There are going to be some
guys there who are going to be
tough to contend with. We've got
our hands full, there's no doubt it
and we're going to have a little
different dimension with the two
injuries."
A&M leads the overall series
141-99-4.
Marshall leads the Aggies in
hitting. The shortstop is hitting
.433 on the season and also leads
the Aggies in RBI's with 13. Mar
shall was named MVP of the Os
car Mayer Classic.

After opening the season with
a 2-4 performance in the Arizona
Softball Classic, the Aggies
bounced back to win all
six games and bring
home the championship
in the Northeast
Louisiana Mardi Gras
Classic.
Senior third baseman
Rhonda Halbert, who is
the team's leading hitter with a
.387 batting average, was named
the outstanding defensive player
of the Classic, anchoring an Aggie
defense that gave up only one run
in the last 38 innings of tourna
ment play.
Freshman Jennifer Mortensen,
who Brock and his squad have
looked to for support since losing
All-American Missi Young to an
injury, was named the tourna
ment's outstanding pitcher.
Mortensen went 4-0 during the
Classic and didn't allow a run in
23 innings pitched.
Brock said Mortensen was one
of the new players he thought the
home crowd would be ready to
see in action.
"I think a lot of people are go
ing to really be excited about see
ing Jennifer play," he said. "She's
been successful at just about every
age level, and I think the crowd
here will enjoy seeing a pitcher
who can dominate like
she can."
During tournament
play, each of the ten
teams will play three
games a day, with three
games being played at a
time. Games are sched
uled each day for 10
a.m., 12:30 p.m., 5 p.m., 5:30 and 8

Louisiana on Lady Aggie Field.
The Aggies biggest test will be
Sunday at 10:30 a.m., when they
take on the University of Missouri.
The Tigers have given up only
three runs all season on their way
to a 4-0 start.
Senior Karen Schneider will
provide the largest offensive
threat to A&M pitching, as she en
ters the tournament with a .692
batting average.
After the weekend tourna
