FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M's Marcus Buckley
and Tony Harrison each received
accolades from the Aggies' 26-13
victory over
Missouri on
Saturday.
Buckley
was named
AP's Defen
sive Player of
the Week
while Harri
son was cho
sen for the
AT&T Long
Distance
award for
their performances against the
Tigers.
Buckley, a senior linebacker.
Buckley
had eight solo tackles, including a
sack for a 12-yard loss. He tackled
the ball carrier on two occasions
for losses totaling three yards, and
once he pressured the quarterback
into an interception.
Despite not being at 100 per
cent as he overcomes a mysterious
ailment in his ankle joints, Buck-
ley has had 21 tackles in four
games. He's recovered two fum
bles and caused two more fum
bles.
He has four sacks totaling 33
yards and six tackles behind the
line of scrimmage for losses total
ing 22 yards. Buckley has been
credited with five quarterback
pressures.
Buckley said you haven't seen
anything yet.
"I'm feeling better every
week," Buckley said. "The cool
weather helped in Missouri, and
now with an off week, I should be
back close to 100 percent for the
Texas Tech game."
Buckley didn't believe his effort
Saturday was
Harrison
his best, and
he said the
strong effort
that the Tigers
showed is
something the
Aggies will
see every
week.

I could have

1 jumped too
good job at halftime of making
justments and we wereableto
ecute in the second half. One
about it, we'll get everyteai

Harrison, a junior widen
er, made only one catch Satan

Astros lose two to Reds Twins get 13th-innin^
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI - Bip Roberts
quickly conceded he was lucky.
No one even had to ask Milt Hill
about his good fortune — it was
obvious on one pitch.
Roberts got his ninth-straight
hit, one shy of the NL record, and
Hill survived the wildest pitch of
the day to get his first major-
league save Tuesday as the
Cincinnati Reds beat the Houston
Astros 4-3 for a doubleheader
sweep.
■Jose Rijo won his fifth-straight
decision and singled home a pair
of runs for a 6-3 win in the first
game. Roberts bore down on a
record and Hill simply bore down
too hard as the Reds won their
sixth-straight in the second game.
Roberts singled and doubled
twice in his first three at-bats, giv
ing him nine hits in nine consecu
tive at-bats over three games. He
rested his sore right ankle in the
first game, and left the second af
ter aggravating the injury with the
streak intact.
The NL record of 10-consecu-
tive hits has been accomplished
six times since 1900, most recently
by Woody Williams of the Reds in
1943. The major league record is
12-straight hits by Boston's Pinky
Higgins in 1938 and Detroit's Walt
Dropo in 1952.
Roberts didn't realize he was
one hit shy of the record until he'd
left the game.
"It's one of those things where
everything I'm hitting is falling in
right now," said Roberts, who has
raised his average from .308 to
.320 with the streak. "At the plate
now, the ball looks pretty big and
when I hit it, there's nobody
standing there. You have to have
a little luck."
His luck came Monday night in
the form of rain. He filed out in
his first at-bat, ending the streak,
but the game was postponed by
rain after four innings, wiping out
the out.
He took advantage Tuesday by
leading the Reds' second-game of
fense. He doubled and scored in
the first inning on Barry Larkin's
groundout, singled in his next at-
bat, then doubled home Dave
Martinez for a 3-2 lead in the fifth
off Shane Reynolds (0-3). Larkin
followed with a double to score
Roberts with the eventual win-
win over Rangers, 1
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rangers have lost by a shutout I
ning run.
"Bip's using the whole field to
hit with, too," manager Lou
Piniella said. "I notice he's had
hits off breaking balls, off straight
change-ups, and off fastballs. It's
impressive."
The Reds' bullpen was lucky to
hold the lead that Roberts gener
ated.
Scott Bankhead (10-4) relieved
Chris Hammond and pitched out
of a bases-loaded threat in the
fifth by getting Ken Caminiti to fly
out, preserving the 4-2 cushion.
Rafael Ramirez hit an RBI sin
gle off Norm Charlton with none
out in the ninth to make it 4-3, but
Casey Candaele also tried to score
on the play and was thrown out at
the plate by left fielder Reggie
Sanders. , ,. i . .
Hill relieved with two outs and
the bases loaded and Jeff Bagwell
up. Bagwell, who had homered
earlier in the game, pulled Hill's
first pitch foul, then took a ball
way outside.
Hill's next pitch was over Bag
well's head, but it deflected off his
bat for a foul tip that kept it from
being a game-tying wild pitch.
Bagwell hit the next pitch for a
routine fly out to center.
of the dead ball era, the defending
world champion Minnesota Twins
kept their flickering pennant
hopes alive Tuesday night.
Pedro Munoz delivered a two-
out single in the top of the 13th in
ning to score Kirby Puckett from
second base as the Twins defeated
the Texas Rangers 1-0.
Oakland, which lost to Chicago
8-3, still has the magic number of
four to succeed the Twins as
champions of the American
League West.
Nolan Ryan pitched gallantly
again for the Rangers but left after
six scoreless innings with a no-de
cision in his return from two
missed starts in the rotation be
cause of a muscle pull.
Ryan gave up four hits in six
innings. It was the fifth game he
has pitched in this year that the

Kenny Rogers, 2-6, was the;
tim of the Twins' lucky 13lk
ning uprising while Larry Casi!
(1-0), who came up from Portia
last week, got his first victe
since Oct. 3,1990.
Minnesota manager TomKil
said, "Our pitchers didafabuin
job. We had a couple of chano
against Nolan but he just blew;
away when he had to. But Mm

Munoz said "it's fun

talk about it, having a more
checkered collegiate career than
the Great One, Lena Guerrero,
herself, but someone had to say
it.
I've seen you out there
screaming your lungs out for
Jeff Granger hoping that he can
throw a football like a football,
instead of like a baseball des
tined to kill worms.
I've heard you sigh, hoping
that GHT would actually run for
more yards than his mouth says
he can.
I've watched you shrink in
horror at the thought that if we
possess one of the best offensive
lines in college football, egads,
what does the worst one look
like!
I have not, however, seen
you at a volleyball game and
that's your loss, not mine.
And I have definitely not
seen you study, and that will be
your loss come Christmas time
when your family gathers
around the table to chew on
your behind which your father
roasted longer than the turkey
because the turkey cost him
$19.95 and you cost him $5,000 a
semester.
So take my advice, please.
Aggie football and volleyball
will be back next weekend, the
Pokes will be in Philadelphia,
and the Oilers' offense might
catch more of Warren Moon's
passes than the opposing de
fense will and baseball season
will be mercifully over.
Even Aggie basketball will be
just around the corner.
So go ahead Aggies, bury
yourself in the books, whatever
and wherever they may be.
And rest easy knowing that
your football brethren will be
hitting the book as well. The
play book that is.
