hitting like that it's going to be
hard for anyone to catch up with
them."
In the first game of the double-
header, Texas Broke open a score
less tie with three singles, as sec
ond baseman Robert DeLeon and
leftfielder Stephen Larkin both
picked up RBI's. Texas added two
runs in the sixth, and then put the
game out of reach with four runs
in the eighth, two of which were
unearned.
Texas put the Aggies away
early in the final game, exploding
for five runs in the third inning
and never looking back on their
way to a 13-run performance.
A&M starter Kelly Wunsch
walked in two runs in the third,
and UT designated hitter Dean
Haskins and shortstop Tim
Harkrider both picked up RBI sin
gles during the rally.
A two-run seventh inning by
the Aggies posed no threat to the
Longhorns lead after a three-run
/r.'-TT.-.. / rPOf p ' tetfT
fourth inning by Texas.
UT catcher Chris Abbe capped
off the win in the bottom of the
eighth with a two-run homer to
left, moving the score to its final of
13-2.
The Aggies opened the series
on Friday with an extra-inning
victory over the Longhorns, as
both teams combined for 20 runs
in what supposed to be a pitching
duel.
A&M lefthander Jeff Granger,
who entered the series leading the
conference with 44 strikeouts, was
rocked for eight runs and two
homeruns by Texas in seven in
nings of work. Granger's counter
part, righthander Jay Vaught, gave
up seven runs to the Aggies before
being relieved by junior Brian Se-
lensky.
A solo homer by Eric Gonzalez
and a three run shot by Jay Estes
paced a five run fifth inning for
the Aggies which opened up the
lead to 5-2. The Longhorns came
back with three runs in both the
fifth and sixth innings to claim an
8-7 lead.
Aggie shortstop Jason Mar
shall led off the seventh with a
double to right field, and first
baseman Conrad Colby singled up
the middle to tie the game at 8.
A&M opened up the flood
gates in the tenth inning, as Billy
Harlan singled to right to start a
two out rally. Travis Williams
walked, and Eric Gonzalez singled
to load the bases. Second base-
man Robert Harris then picked up
his first hit of the night, singling
up the middle to bring in Harlan
and Williams with the game win
ning runs. Gonzalez also scored
on the play after Texas centerfield-
er Calvin Murray misplayed the
hit.
Texas could manage to come
up with only one run in the bot
tom of the tenth, and the Aggies
held on to an 11-9 victory.
A&M will return home tomor
row to host Sam Houston State in
a 7 p.m. contest, and will then re
sume conference play this week
end as they travel to Fort Worth to

Mavericks blow 26-point lead, fall to Sonics
DALLAS (AP) - Eddie John
son scored 31 points and the Seat-
tle.SuperSonics came back from a
^d-point deficit tp hand the Dallas
Mavericks their 13th consecutive
defeat, 113-105 Sunday night.
Rolando Blackman scored 30
points for the Mavericks, who tied
a dub-record with 46 first-quarter
points, but couldn't hold a 53-27
lead with 9:43 left in the second
quarter. It was the biggest lead
Dallas has ever blown, surpassing
a 23-point advantage the Maver
icks allowed Denver to overcome
in 1985.
Dallas hasn't won since Feb. 28
in running up its longest losing
streak of the season. The team
record, set in 1981, is 15 consecu
tive losses.
The SuperSonics still trailed
90-78 after three quarters, then
outscored the Mavericks 35-15 in
the fourth period to win going
away.
Seattle, with Rickey Pierce
scoring nine of his 24 points, tied
the game at 98-98 on Johnson's
two free throws with 4:38 remain
ing.
The Sonics took a 104-101 lead
on Nate McMillan's 3-pointer with
2:41 remaining and boosted their
advantage to 106-101 with 2:11 left
on Derrick McKey's layup. McKey
then put the game out of reach on
a tip-in with 1:30 to go.
Doug Smith made seven of
eight shots and scored 15 of his 25
points in the first quarter. Mike
luzzolino hit three 3-pointers and
Blackman two in the opening
quarter as Dallas tied a club
record for 3-pointers in a period.
The Mavericks shot 76 percent
in the first quarter and 63 percent
in the first half and led 71-55 at
halftime.
Seattle used an 8-0 run, includ
ing a 3-pointer by Pierce, to slash
Dallas' lead to 87-76 with 2:48 left
in the third period.
Dallas' eight second-half field
goals set a franchise record for the
fewest in a half.
The Mavericks, who shot three
for 16 in the fourth-quarter col
lapse, are last in the league in scor
ing and field goal percentage and
have the NBA's second-poorest
record.
"In the first quarter, I was to
tally lost," Seattle coach George
Karl said. "It was scary, very
scary. Our defense was poor, our
transition was poor, we weren't
trying to penetrate or get the ball
to the low block. I didn't know
what the hell was going on."
Pierce had only five points at
halftime before getting into the of
fensive flow.
"Ricky's a scorer," Karl said.
"I can't take credit for what he
did. He bailed me and the team
out tonight."
Pierce said the team may have
still been feeling the effects of Sat
urday night's 101-96 loss at San
Antonio.
"We were very disappointed
about the San Antonio game,"
Pierce said. "We let that game slip
away. In no way could we afford
to let Dallas beat us."
For the Mavericks, the losing is
getting old.
"We went out and thought we
had one and it slips away from
you," luzzolino said. "We gave it
away tonight. This is a big disap
pointment. When you get so close
to winning, it's a little harder to
•take."

propels Reds
over Astros
PLANT CITY, Fla. (AP) - Joe
Oliver hit his second grand slam
run of the spring to help the
Cincinnati Reds defeat the Hous
ton Astros 7-3 Sunday.
Oliver hit a 1-2 pitch from
rookie Chris Gardner over the left-

Oliver also had a third-inning
single. His 2-for-3 day pushed his
batting average to .375. He is tied
with Reggie Sanders for the Reds'
team lead in home runs, with
three. He also leads the team with
13 RBIs.
Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead in
the first on a lead-off walk to Bip
Roberts, who stole second, went to
third on a groundout and scored
on Barry Larkin's sacrifice fly.
The Astros took the lead in the
fifth off starter Jose Rijo. Eddie
Taubensee doubled, went to third
on a grounder and scored on Ben
ny Distefano's sacrifice fly. Steve
Finley doubled and Craig Biggio
singled him in with the second
run.
Juan Guerrero's home run off
loser Steve Foster, leading off the
sixth, made it 4-2.
But the Reds came back with
five runs in the sixth. Paul O'Neill
beat out an infield single and went
to third on Chris Sabo's single. Af
ter Hal Morris walked, Glenn
Braggs singled to short, scoring
O'Neill. Oliver followed with his
slam.
