"Fortunately enough, this year
he has come through in crucial
times. He really doesn't over
power people - he gets outs. He
does the job that he's out there to
do."
Moore opened the season with
a streak of 27 innings without an
earned run until giving up two to
Maine, and as a designated hitter
is batting .349, the third-best aver
age on the team.
A&M players have earned
SWC Player of the Week honors
the past two weeks, with Fedora
taking this week's honors, follow
ing teammate Eric Gonzalez by
batting .636 and digging out
sharp defensive gems.
Fedora attributed his success
to tinkering with his batting -
shortening his swing, trying not
to pull the ball, and going down
to a shorter, 33-inch bat from a 34-
incher.
The only thing that's been
hampering Fedora recently is a
sore hamstring muscle, which has
plagued him since his freshman
year when the injury caused him
to abandon a second A&M sport
in football and concentrate on re
fining his baseball game.
"Since the TCU game, and a
little before that. I've really felt
loose and relaxed, and I've been
making good plays, not worrying
about making errors because
everybody's going to make er
rors/' he said.
"When you worry about it too
much, that's when you make a lot
of them."
At just past the mid-point of
the season. Granger said that the
pitchers were concerned about
maintaining mastery of pitch lo
cation, while the overall team was
concentrating on the basics of de
fense.
"We have tried to work on our
defensive fundamentals and not
really worry about the trick plays
and diving catches, just worry
about the routine ground balls.
Those more than not are going to
kill you more than the fancy
plays," Granger said
"It's always humid down there
and it gets us a little tired, so
we're going to have to jump out
early to get to a lead."
Jeff Wright will start for the
Cougars today, with Brett Jones
and Matt Beech slated to appear

day, so I took advantage of that
and put him away."
Scott Phillips was unable to fol
low suit as he was defeated 2-6,2-6
in his match against UT's Trey
Phillips.
"To maintain a consistent emo
tional level throughout the day
against Texas is hard, but it was
really up for grabs today", said
Phillips of today's matches.
"I slacked a little after the dou
bles match, and when I came
around, it was too late. We've got
to get regrouped and get ready for
New Mexico tomorrow."
The most exciting match of the
day saw a hard-fought battle be
tween third seeds Bernardo Mar
tinez of A&M and Ian Williams of
Texas.
After losing the first set 6-7,
Martinez willed his way back into
the match by scoring a 7-6 victory
in the second set, and as the
match wore on, both players gave
it their all with only victory on
their mind.
Martinez turned in a gutsy per
formance but could not pull it out
as he dropped the third set, 3-6.
Ricardo Rodarte and Eric Ho
ran played tough and inspired
tennis but their matches ended
with similar outcomes. Rodarte
lost to Davis Draper 2-6,4-6, and
Horan lost 4-6,3-6. The only other
win came from freshman Blake
Arrant who took two straight sets
from Chad Clark, 6-4 and 7-6.
Doubles action, played earlier
in the day, unfortunately saw
much of the same luck for
A&M. The day began quickly
with the second-seeded team of
Scott Phillips and Blake Arrant
starting their match in a deadlock
through four games, but eventual
ly they pulled away to take the
pro set match from Williams and
Draper by a score of 8-4.
Unfortunately, the winning
could not be duplicated in close
losses to the first and third-seeded
teams. Weaver and Martinez
fought hard and kept their match
close throughout, only to lose a
tough 8-6 match to the tandem of
Eriksson and Trey Phillips.
The third and deciding match
of doubles competition pitted Ho
ran and Rodarte against Ernesto
Ponce and Clark. The Texas pair
jumped out early and had a 7-3
edge, but the Aggie duo fought
back hard, only to come up short
in an 8-5 loss.
"Today was fun, and overall I
am excited about how we
played," said A&M coach David
Kent. "There are no excuses
They just simply outplayed us to
day.
"We gave it our all, but they
are a quality team, no doubt about
it. We were one inch from beating
them, but they are ranked 10th,
and they played that way.
"This is a good barometer for
us. We're getting better and better
as play goes on, and we hope to
peak in April as we have the last
couple of years."
Playing a tough New Mexico
team today after an emotional and
hard-played match against the ri
vals from Austin would drain
most teams, but Kent said his
team would rebound.
"If we were playing anyone
else, we might be tired, but I guar
antee, we'll be ready," Kent said
"Especially if we want to stay in
the Top 25."
The Aggies will play host to
the Lobos of New Mexico under
the lights today as play begins at5
p.m. at the Omar Smith Tennis
Center.
