A&M strolls to sweep of Redbirds
Rolling Aggies
have momentum
as road awaits
By DAVID WINDER
The Battalion
If Illinois State never visits the state of
Texas again, no one would blame them.
After being pummeled by the Houston
Cougars 27-5 on Monday and losing 12-3
to third-ranked Texas A&M on Tuesday,
the 0-9 Redbirds dropped both games of a
double-header Wednesday against the
Aggies at Olsen Field.
Chris Clemons was the story for 20-2
A&M in the second game, going the dis-
tart' e while striking out ten in the 4-0 vic
tory. It was his career best in both areas.
"I was just throwing really consistent
throughout the whole game," Clemons
said. "I had a really sharp slider and I
kept getting it over.
"It was also the first time I never
walked anybody in a game. I never really
got tired, and I think my stamina was ma
jor key for my success."
A&M coach Mark Johnson was also im
pressed with Clemons' performance.
"He had the best pitching outing of the
year tonight," Johnson said. "He had an
outstanding slider with excellent control."
The Aggies scored the only run
Clemons would need as Billy Harlan
scored on a Robert Harris single in the
third inning. In the seventh, A&M added
to its lead as Harlan singled in Eric Gon
zalez and Chad Alexander. Brian Thomas
scored later in the inning on a Trey Moore
double.
"We hit the ball really well tonight,"
Johnson said. "I think if it hadn't been for
the northern wind, we could have had a
couple of home runs. I really think
Thomas's and Moore's hits really had
shots to go out."
A&M took home a 9-4 win in the first
game behind the power of Scott Smith.
After a Harlan leadoff home run, the Ag
gies took a 3-1 lead as Harris tripled ii\
Gonzalez and Smith. Harlan would then
score on a sacrifice from Thomas.
The Redbirds then clawed their way

back into the game as Mark Dorenz dou
bled in two to tie the score at 4-4 in the
top of the fifth. The Aggies took the lead
for good on a Gonzalez double in the bot
tom of the inning which scored two.
Smith then hit his first home run of the
year, a three-run shot which finished the
scoring for the night.
Starter Jeff Granger picked up the win
for the Aggies in the first game, giving up
one earned run and striking out five in
five innings while raising his record to 4
1. Mark Hahn dropped I

A&M will now leave College Station
to 0-2 in taking
giving up four
over spring break for its longest road trip
of the season. The Aggies will face the
University of New Orleans, Southeastern
Louisiana, Tulane, and Texas Christian,
playing eight games in an eight-day
stretch before returning home to Olsen
Field March 23 to face Sam Houston State
in a single game.
Lady Aggies
lose to Baylor,
end '93 season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS r- Freshman guard Mary
Lowry capped a 35-point performance
by hitting a short jumper with 12 sec
onds remaining to lift Baylor to a 63-61
win over Texas A&M on Wednesday.
The win was only the Lady Bears'
second in SWC tournament history.
Before the game-winning shot, Bay
lor barely got the ball inbounds after a
time out with 38 seconds left. With the
30-second shot clock winding down,
Lowry drove inside and put up a shot
over two A&M defenders.
The ball rattled around the rim and
fell through to give the Lady Bears a 63-
61 lead with 12 seconds remaining
After Lowry's shot, the Lady Aggies
got the ball to midcourt and called time
out with six seconds remaining. Lisa
Branch attempted a 10-footer in the fi
nal seconds, but the ball clanged off the
backboard.
Lowry hit 14 of 22 shots, grabbed
eight rebounds and picked up four
steals. The rest of the Baylor squad hit
nine of 43 shots. Jennifer King was the
only other Baylor double-figure scorer
with 11 points.
With Yolanda Brown scoring 22
points and grabbing 13 rebounds, the
Lady Aggies outrebounded Baylor, 54-
39. However, Texas A&M committed 18
turnovers to Baylor's 10.
Karol Decuir added nine points for
A&M, with Lisa Branch, Martha Mc
Clelland and Andrea Williams scoring
eight points apiece. Branch led the
Lady Aggies in assists with five.
The game turned out to be the final
one in the careers of A&M seniors
Brown and Decuir.
The loss to Baylor leaves the Lady
Aggies with a final record of 15-12 for
the 1992-93 season. Baylor moves on to
the semifinals to play Texas Tech, who
defeated Texas Christian 107-50.
In other conference tournament ac
tion, Southern Methodist beat Houston
96-80, and Texas defeated Rice 87-61.
SMU and Texas will hook up in the
semifinals today.
