Call, CMfit? fort
avoid UT sweep, salvage win
By Doug Foster
The Battalion
Entering this weekend's series with
the University of Texas, Aggie baseball
coach Mark Johnson knew he needed a
series victory for his team to have a seri
ous chance at catching the Southwest
Conference leading Longhorns.
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

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.

"She was not a surprise," A&M track

She was a pleasure to watch."
In the long jump, Harrison leaped 20
