Aggie junior Marco Gortana, fresh from his victory last week at Crown Colony, shot a 221 to take home second place in the in dividual competition. No. 18 Arkansas swept both the team and individual honors by shooting a combined 899. Baseball Continued from Page 5 on base and .907 slugging per centages. Johnson said the Bobcats have been playing well in their latest stretch of games and the team will have to be sharp in their re match with the Bobcat's first game starting pitcher, Chris Potts. "They played well in Houston (ranked 21st in the nation) over the weekend losing a close game and coming back to beat them in the final game," Johnson said. "The pitcher who threw against us (Potts) is scheduled to start again, and he kept it close in the late innings." In their first outing against Southwest Texas, A&M erupted in the late innings against Potts on February 16, ruining a good outing by the pitcher. Potts held the Aggies to a 2-2 tie until an unearned run in the sixth snowballed into four runs in the eighth and two in the ninth. Jack O'Keefe took home the tournament crown for the Razor- backs with a three round score of 218. A&M's Brent Brown shot a 229 to place 13th followed by Dru Fenimore's 233 to place 28th. An thony Rodriguez finished 40th af ter shooting a 236 follwed by Mark Wood's 246 to place 70th and Fernando Ferrini placing 85th shooting 259. "It was really good to beat all these regional teams," A&M coach Bob Ellis said. "I was real ly proud of the way Marco played, because it was just miser able out there." Brian Parker, who has worked primarily as a reliever this year, is scheduled to start the first game against the Bobcats. Parker, a sophomore out of Arlington, has won 3 games for A&M, compiling a 2.45 earned run average in six appearances. Chris Clemons pitches the sec ond half of the bill, making his third showing of the year win ning one with an ERA of 4.15. Johnson said that Clemons and Parker are pieces of his pitching puzzle that he has been arranging and reorganizing since spring training. "As far as potential talent this is as close to as good as we've had. It hasn't fallen into place yet," Johnson said. Pitchers have been rotated around the various positions for the past weeks to test and mold the staff into steady roles, John son said. "Obviously we've got a very young ball club, we've got four returning starters and one of those was injured most of the year last year." The Aggies will kick off the double-header at 5 p.m. Plumer Continued from Page 5 America, bringing his team leading total to 28. Fellow southpaw Jeff Granger is two whiffs away from breaking Mark Thur mond's A&M career record of 273. Sophomore Trey Moore has a 0.00 ERA, which, believe it or not, leads the SWC. He leads the team in victories with four. But Moore is not just per forming on the hill. Doing his best Bo Jackson imitation, he hit a two run homer against Con cordia Lutheran last Wednes day. "Our pitchers have done a great job this season, whether it be striking people out or mak ing the big pitch when it is needed," Johnson said. "Con sidering the pitchers are so young, I think they are doing an outstanding job." Johnson hit the nail on the head: youth. Granger and Wunsch are the grizzled veter ans of the pitching staff, which is dominated by treshman and sophomores. With youth usually comes inexperience and bad decisions. Johnson said just the opposite is true. "The young guys have done a great job," Johnson said. "(Sophomore) Chris Clemons was a little rusty against Con cordia but overall he did well. (Sophomore) Brian Parker has done a good job coming out of the bullpen. "They may be young but they have made good choices." Another first year player who has made an impact is John Codrington. Sporting a fastball, curveball, split-finger, and change-up, the Austin Bowie product has been used as a starter and a reliever. He has no complaints about the switching back and forth. "We didn't have many starters coming back so I was enthusiastic about getting the season started," Codrington said. "I'll take whatever work I can get." The right -hander found himself in a tenuous situation Saturday. Johnson called upon him to protect a two run lead over the final three innings. He came through with flying colors. "John pitched very well in a tight spot for us," Johnson said. "This was a real test for him to see if he could come through with the pressure on. "He really fought for us and did what we needed him to do, giving the team a chance to win." Codrington, along with the other pitchers, have been doing a lot more giving than taking recently. Opponents have seen their batting averages slowly taken away, allowing A&M hit ters the opportunity to bat from a position of strength- with a lead. That position of vigor has translated into one very im pressive number. 14 wins and counting.

Kenney Continued from Pag® 5 limped off the field. Immediately, he said, he knew something was wrong. Kemtey said he saw the doctors huddling discussing his future. His teaup mates came up to him, offering words of encouragement. A final decision was made by the doctors and passed on to Kenney. "I knew something was seri ous because my leg was just dan gling there," he said. The only thing that was broken was my spirit. They told me that my knee was torn-up. ' My first reac tion was to be mad because I had worked so hard to be a part of the team and it was over. Plus, this injury happened in the first game of the season." The toughest part was ahead of him, according to rehabilita tion specialist Danny Kniffin. "With something that major, he was going to be disappoint ed," Kniffin said. "The toughest thing in coming back is the men tal aspect and Steve overcame that quickly. He had his off-days but, all-in-all, his attitude was ex tremely positive. "The ups and downs that came along had to be dealt with, which he did. Overcoming the low points is half the battle." A&M secondary coach Trent Walters said he could feel the ini tial despair that Kenney had. "All his hopes and dreams were tied to playing," Walters said. "It was devastating for him in the beginning but he accepted the fact that things worked out that way. He is a driven and fo cused guy." Watching A&M roll to a 12-0 start, though, was extremely painful for Kenney. After win ning the strong safety job, he was projected as an All-Southwest Conference pick by some publi cations. Standing on the sidelines watching Michael Hendricks make plays from Kenney's vacat ed position created an uneasy stir deep within him. "Mike deserved everything he accomplished because he worked just as hard as I did but it was tough watching him out there," Kenney said. "I knew I was missing out on a chance to prove myself to my teammates and to the fans. "The team was doing so well and I had to come into the rehab room everyday while they were out on the field practicing and having a good time. That was not an easy thing to do." The tough part, meaning the physical aspects of his recovery, is behind him, Kniffin said. Ken ney's rehabilitation has gone ac cording to schedule and now he is prepared to begin spring foot ball practice in a few weeks. But there is one hitch in his re turn . "I can't have contact, yet," Kenney said with a smile. "I will get to take part in all the drills that have no contact. Hopefully, I won't rush things. Also, maybe my nerves will be calmed down a little by them." Taking it slow is the key to Kenney's rehab, Walters said. "We want to get Steve Kenney back to playing football," Walters said. "He has a great attitude about participating in spring practice even though he will be limited in what he can do. GO WITH THE The Battalion
