be no match when they visited Olsen

was a different story.

Sunday, leading Tech to its second win
over the Aggies in the three-game series,
3-1.
The loss sent A&M closer to third
place in the Southwest Conference stand
ings with a 12-9 league record and 25-13
overall. Tech improves to 23-16, 12-12 in
1 SWC action.
^ The A&M offense never made the trip
to Dan Law Field. Overall, the Aggies
picked up only two runs and thirteen hits
in the three-game series.
'The finale of the series was played
Sunday after Friday's match was post-
oned due to cold weather.
On Saturday, A&M's Brian Thomas
singled home pinch-runner Tim Holt in
the 10th inning to give the Aggies a 1-0
win in the first game of a doubleheader.

three hits through nine innings .
John Macatee (4-2) went the distance

walk and a strikeout. Brian Harrison (4-3)
was the loser for A&M.
In the bottom of the fifth, Jeff Boyd-

The Aggies were hoping to finish
higher before going into the Texas A&M
relays this Saturday at Anderson Track
and Field Complex.
Two long-standing records held by
former stars Billy Olson and Johnny
"Lam" Jones were among 11 meet marks
to fall this weekend at the Relays.
But possibly the most impressive feat
was the seven victories by Blinn College,
which became the first two-year school
named the meet's outstanding team.
The Buccaneers set national junior col
lege records in two of their four relay vic
tories. Three of their titles came against
collegiate competition. . . i a/,
