Mitchell was pleased with her
performance, especially after a
shaky first inning.
"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. Segal doubled
with one out and shortstop Jen
nifer McFalls singled to score Se
gal pnd give the team a 1 -0 win.
Jennifer Mortensen improved
her season record to 20-10.
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."

Rangers fall again to Angels
ARLINGTON (AP) - Hubie
Brooks had a three-run homer and
five RBIs Tuesday night as the
California Angels won their
fourth straight, 8-1 over the Texas
Rangers.
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.

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
