"When I was warming up, I was throwing real good," Mitchell said. "I came out and walked the first batter and didn't have con trol over what I was doing. "The first pitch I threw behind the batter and said, 'This is going to be a long game.' I think I was a little tense. It turned out pretty good." The no-hitter was broken up after Mitchell threw her out pitch, a curveball. "I threw a couple," she said. "It's a ball that when I'm ahead, /be I can sucker them into it. I get it far enough out on mayoe dicin' t her.' With the win, Mitchell im proved her record to 13-4. In the first game, the only run was scored in the Lady Aggie half of the third inning.

Although the Lady Aggies scored only five runs. Brock said the team is on the edge of having some big innings. "Our hitting is almost like the baseball team," he said. "We just don't seem to get a hit at the right time. We've got to work on some timely hits and we're looking for ward to play this weekend."

Brooks hit the first pitch to him by starter Jeff Robinson into the left field stands for his second homer of the season, staking starter Joe Grahe to a 3-0 lead. Grahe yielded four hits in 6 2-3 innings against the most potent lineup in the major leagues. Gra he, 3-7 with a 4.81 ERA last sea son, entered the game with a 12.60 ERA in his only start this year. With staff ace Chuck Finley on the disabled list and Mark Langston slowed by a hip injury, the Angels needed an effective start from Grahe. He retired 11 consecutive batters at one point. Overall, he walked two and struck out four. He left with two outs in the seventh after diving to catch a line drive by pinch hitter Geno Petral- li. Grahe speared the shot, then threw to first from a seated posi tion to double up Dickie Thon. Grahe's overthrow allowed Kevin Reimer and Thon to advance to third and second. Grahe, who bruised an index finger on his right hand but was not seriously injured, was re placed by Chuck Crim after the player. And Thon, who never tagged up on the line dfive, was ruled out on an appeal play at first. Texas, which dropped its sec ond straight after opening the sea son 6-1, entered the game leading the majors in runs with 53.

Andro Continued from Page 7 especially after losing a starter and a backup middle linebacker to Plan B free agency. Now that Jack Del Rio and Darrick Brownlow are no longer with the Cowboys, the team's start ing middle linebacker is former Miami Hurricane Bernard Clark. So it still looks like Billy Cannon Jr. will the last Aggie linebacker the Cowboys draft. While the Cowboys might be out of the Coryatt sweep- stakes, they still have a chance at Smith. It seems like a match almost too good to be true. While the Cowboys made it to the playoffs last year, they still have some major weakness es, the secondary being one of them. Two years ago, this wouldn't have been the situa tion. It seemed like Ike Holt was an up and coming corner- back. Last season, he looked like he was a down and out cor ner. He, along with former TCU corner Larry Brown did a satisfactory job, but they both don't have positions guaranteed when the Cowboys go to train ing camp. Smith could be the answer. It seems that there are a lot of good corners available come draft day includingWisconsini Troy Vincent and Florida Stale'! Terrell Buckley. But Smith might be the best of the three Like Vincent, Smith canals return punts, somethingthe Cowboys can definitely use. But Smith has had morecomer back experience. Vincent plays in the run# ented Big Ten while Smith played against the likes of David Klingler and Andre Ware. When you think of Buckle) you think of his mouth.
