Instead of making up ground, the Ag gies fell further behind Texas. The ILonghorns took two out of three games to /iden the gap in the SWC to 6 1/2 games. Texas improves to 33-9, 20-5 in conference [play. The Aggies fall to 26-15 and 13-11 in Ithe SWC. A&M was able to salvage some re- [spect Sunday. The Aggies made up for [two earlier losses by jumping on Texas pitching for 16 hits on their way to an 11-5 Ivictory. Kelly Wunsch, now 4-2 on the A&M bats come to life Sunday for 11-5 victory season, picked up the Aggies only win of the weekend by outdueling Brooks Ki- eschnick, who picked up his first loss of the season to fall to 4-1. Texas coach Cliff Gustafson said al though the Aggies broke loose on Sun- Kelly Wunsch finds pitch Page 6 day, he felt the weekend trip to College Station was a success. "Starting this week we had Baylor for one game and three down here," Gustafson said. "I felt if we won two out of four we'd be in pretty good shape, and we wound up winning three out of four. "I was very pleased with this week end although we were a little bit flat to day." Johnson said he was proud of his team's performance on Sunday after los ing the first two games of the series. "Today was something to grow on," Johnson said. "I thought we hit the ball pretty well the entire weekend even though we lost the series, especially com pared to last weekend and the weekend before that. "It means a lot to me too that the guys came back last night and today and played as hard as they did after getting kind of embarrassed Friday. I think our kids showed a lot of character." Johnson said his squad was not com pletely out of the race, but that now they needed to work hard to make sure to get a bid into the NCAA regional playoffs. "We'll just keep punching out until they tell us we can't win this thing," he said. "They did win the series, but they didn't sweep us, so we picked up one which will help when we start looking at regionals. "Every win we can get now is very important for us." Seven Aggie starters picked up hits in the series finale. First baseman Jay Estes lead the way with a 3-for-4 performance. Robert Harris, Mike Hickey and Rob Trimble all collected two RBIs, and five other A&M batters knocked in runs. After taking a 4-1 lead in the third in ning with four consecutive hits and a sac rifice fly, the Aggies broke the final game SWC STANDINGS SWC OVERALL W L W L Texas 20 5 33 9 A&M 13 11 25 15 Rice 13 14 26 19 Baylor 12 13 24 19 Tech 12 15 23 19 TCU 10 14 20 20 UH 8 16 20 21 open with a six-run fifth inning.

I 'oom at 5$ After the Aggies' narrow victory over Rice on Friday, they were in position Sat urday for a match at home against sec ond-ranked Texas Christian to decide the Southwest Conference tennis title. But A&M, ranked No. 16, was not go ing to stop the Frogs on this day. TCU's entire lineup was next to flaw less in its 8-1 victory over the Aggies, which clinched the Frogs' second straight SWC team championship. The Aggies retained second place, but their record dropped to 15-4 overall and 4-1 in the SWC. The progs jumped to 16-3 and 6-0 in conference. A&M head coach David Kent said his team gave a lot of effort, but the Frogs were too strong. "My hats off to them," Kent said. "You don't get ranked No. 2 in the nation for nothing, and they just really let us have it." In a battle of No. 1 seeds, Aggie sophomore Mark Weaver was edged out by Tony Bujan, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3, to clinch the match for the Frogs. After winning the first set and taking a 2-0 lead in the second, Weaver started waning. Bujan, the fourth-ranked singles play er in the country, found the opening and closed it on Weaver. "I just needed a little extra to put him away, and I just couldn't do it," Weaver said. "That's probably all I needed, or it wouldn't have gone three sets. But he's been there too many times." With Bujan up 4-1 in the third set. Weaver came back to win the next two be fore Bujan put the match away. Kent said Bujan improved his game after Weaver broke back. "The guy upped his play consider ably, and Mark stayed the same," Kent said. "There comes a time in a match when you've got to play better, and that guy just kept playing better and better and better." A&M's only victory came from third- seeded Scott Phillips over TCU's Laurant Becouran, 6-3, 1-6, 6-1. The day before, the Aggies picked up an important win over 20th-ranked Rice, 5-4, also at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. Despite the fears that A&M would be tired coming into the TCU match, Kent said their team was ready. "After yesterday, I thought we might be down a little," Kent said. "But we didn't. We came out and battled them. They just outplayed us." Kent said that despite the loss, A&M's stature in a tough conference should be enough to warrant a bid to the NCAA tournament. The men's tennis team will travel to Austin on Wednesday to face the Texas Longhorns in a key SWC match. • . .x-:,-.,, KARL STOLLEIS/The Battalion Jay Estes crosses home plate Saturday and receives a high-five from Rob Trimble after Jason Marshall singled in the sixth inning to score both players.
