A&M falls to Mavericks, 8-6
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The second-ranked Texas
A&M baseball team gave up six
runs in the bottom of the sixth in
ning on the road Tuesday as they
denied coach Mark Johnson his
400th career victory, losing to the
University of Texas-Arlington, 8-
6.
The loss drops the Aggies to
33-4 on the season. The Maver
icks up their record to 21-12.
The Aggies started hot, scoring
five runs in the top of the second
and adding another in the fifth.
But A&M's pitching broke down
as UTA scored all eight runs in
their final three innings.
Jason Chesson took the loss for
A&M, dropping his record to 1-1.
Shortstop Robert Harris took
Harris
the year.
Starter Kelly

sole possession
of the team
lead in home
runs against
UTA, logging
his seventh
long ball of the
season. Desig-
n a t e d
hitter/pitcher
Trey Moore
also homered
for the Aggies,
his fourth of
Wunsch, who has
recently by back
problems, pitched shutout ball be
fore being relieved by John Co-
drington in the fourth inning.
The Aggies return to Olsen
Field this weekend for the biggest
series of the year so far when they
host Southwest Conference foe
Texas Tech.
The llth-ranked Red Raiders,
who entered last weekend tied
with the Aggies atop the confer
ence, dropped to second after a
loss to the University of Houston
on April 3.
A&M ace lefty Jeff Granger is
scheduled to start the April 9
opener against Tech, with Moore
and Wunsch penciled in for the
April 10 doubleheader.

been a step backward, saying he
had a much better chance to com
pete here and vie for the starting
job.
"I considered (transferring) a
whole lot, but I weighed my op
tions and thought otherwise.
That's why I'm here now," he
said.
Preston said that A&M, flood
ed with depth and competition at
almost every position, has im
proved this spring mostly from
experience gained from last sea
son.
"I think the general attitude on
the whole team is different. Last
spring there was a lot of inexperi
enced quarterbacks, and the quar
terback is what makes the offense
click," Preston said.
"When the quarterback is a lot
more experienced in what is go
ing on, everybody has a better at
titude, and they like to work. We
don't settle for less."
Toledo said that redshirt fresh
man Matt Miller and sophomore
Steve Emerson were also getting
reps at quarterback along with a
walk-on player, Odessa Permian
product Stormy Case.
Toledo agreed with Preston
that his quarterbacks as a whole
are improving the team with their
added maturity.
"Last year, what happened a
lot of times is we ran some bad
plays because we ran some plays
against some defenses that we
should have gotten out of," he
said.
"I tried to hold the reins on
them last year, (but) I would hope
that this year, with more knowl
edge and giving them flexibility,
they'll be able to get us out of had
plays."
Lady Aggies to host Sam Houston
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The 13th-ranked Texas A&M
softball team will look to stay hot
today when they host Sam Hous
ton State in a 5 p.m. doubleheader
at College Station's Bee Creek
Park.
The 22-12 Lady Aggies are on a
record pace at the plate this sea
son with 13 home runs. That total
is just one less than the total from
1987, when A&M took home the
national championship.
The school record for homers
in a season is 29, which was set in
1985.
A&M is also closing in on
records in team batting average
with a .306 clip compared to the
final mark of .318 in 1985, as well
as extra base hits with 71 com
pared to the '85 total of 83.
Second baseman K.K. Kalhoe-
fer is carrying the hottest bat for
the Lady Ags, leading the team
with a .400 average, a .568 slug
ging percentage, 11 doubles, 17
walks and 11 sacrifices. Five oth
er .300-plus hitters dot the A&M
lineup, including junior Jennifer
McFalls and senior Dawn
Wuthrich.
The story on the mound this
season has been transfer Kim
Gonzalez, who has pitched 176 of
the Lady Aggies' 225 innings. She
owns a 17-9 record this year with
eight shutouts and a 1.55 earned
run average. Number-two starter
Sharia Cannon is 5-2 with two
shutouts.
White throws curve, signs with Packers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After 37 days, NFL free agency
finally turned into something
more than a revolving door.
Reggie White signed with the
Green Bay Packers on Tuesday for
$17 million over four years.
Also Tuesday, the Detroit Lions
signed guards Bill Fralic and Dave
Richards to shore up their offen
sive line, paying each somewhere
around $5 million over three
years.
The signing of White and those
later Tuesday of defensive line
men Steve McMichael and Gerald
Robinson, brought to 54 the num
ber of free agents signed since the
system took effect March 1. No.
55, safety Tim McDonald, is ex
pected to sign Wednesday with
the San Francisco 49ers.
McMichael re-signed with the
Chicago Bears and Robinson with
the Los Angeles Rams.
Like White, McDonald, a Pro
Bowl safety with the Phoenix Car
dinals, is an unrestricted free
agent because he was a plaintiff in
one of suits that led to free
agency. He has narrowed his
choices to the 49ers and Cardinals,
with San Francisco likely.
"A lot of people will be able to
sign because people who were
saving money for Reggie will now
use it on others," said White's
agent, Jimmy Sexton.
A retrenching is more likely be
cause next year's salary cap will
force teams to cut high-priced vet
erans. That was one reason why
the Washington Redskins, White's
first choice, came up $3 million
short.
The next step will be signing
prime young players who will be
free agents next season — line
backers Junior Seau of the San
Diego Chargers and Derrick
Thomas of the Kansas City Chiefs;
defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy
of the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL's
defensive player of the year, and
running backs Thurman Thomas
of the Buffalo Bills and Rodney
Hampton of the New York Giants.

Continued from Page 5
when Harry came back and
announced every three sec
onds that we, the fans, were
about to be witness to a per
fect game. Then Guzman
walked two batters, but he
kept his no-hitter intact. The
new word for the day was
"no-hitter."
"Holtzman pitched a no
hitter for the Cubs a long
time ago."
"WGN is about to bring
you the eleventh no-hitter
broadcast on this station."
"There are two T's in the
word 'no-hitter.'"
But remarkably, after hav
ing his performance jinxed at
least 10,000 times, Guzman
still had not allowed a hit
into the ninth inning. That's
when Harry blew it. In the
next two hatters alone he
said the word "no-hitter"
again 5,000 times. That's
when I knew that the great
broadcasters of Chicago had
put too much of a jinx on
poor Jose. He tried desper
ately to fight it, but the last
batter got him. He just
didn't have enough strength
to pull it through, and Otis
Nixon singled to left. A
dream of a lifetime over in a
couple of seconds.
I remember how the
mother of a friend of mine
did the same thing to Nolan
Ryan. While watching a
game between the Astros
and the Mets, Nolan was a
god. Each pitch gave Marty
(my friend) and I added ex
citement. Then, in the eighth
inning, his mother came
home and asked the score of
'he game.
"It's 7-0 Astros," I shout
ed. "And Nolan Ryan is
pitching a n-..."
That s when Marty, who
knew all about baseball tra
ditions, punched me in the
stomach and covered my
mouth. He wasn't about to
let me ruin a chance at histo
ry. But it was too late.
"You mean Nolan's pitch
ing a no-hitter," Marty's
mother sajd, ngt knowing
she had just broken^one of
baseball's sacred rules.
"Marty what's wrong?"
I knew exactly what had
happened before I turned to
look. Marty was almost cry-
ing as Mets catcher John
Stearns slid into second base
with a double. It was all over
hut the shouting.
So when WCN finally fig
ures out that they could have
broadcast their eleventh no
hitter if it hadn't been for
their idiots in the booth, I
think they should hire Mar
ty, because then at least all
the Cub pitchers would have
a fighting chance.

HOUSTON - Curt Schilling
outpitched Greg Swindell, Hous
ton s new $17 million man, and
the Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Houston Astros 5-3 Tuesday
night.
A day after the Phillies defeat
ed Doug Drabek, they roughed
up the Astros' other big free-agent
pitcher and ruined his debut.
Lenny Dykstra led off the game
with a triple, and Philadelphia
went on to score four runs in the
first three innings.
Swindell allowed five runs,
four earned, in 7 1-3 innings. He
walked none and struck out five.
Swindell, who pitched for Cincin
nati last season, began the game
with a string of 18 straight score
less innings against the Phillies.
Schilling,
traded by
Houston to
Philadelphia in
1992, gave up
six hits and left
after Jeff Bag-
well led off the
ninth with a
double. Mitch
Williams re
lieved and gave
up an RBI sin- Swindell
gle by Luis
Gonzalez with two outs before
getting his first save.
Dykstra opened the game with
a triple and scored on Eddie
Taubensee's passed ball. Later in
the inning, John Kruk doubled
and scored on Dave Hollins' sin-
gle.
Juan Bell was hit by a pitch in
the second, was sacrificed to sec
ond and scored on Mariano Dun
can's single. Pete Incaviglia home-
red in the third inning, making it
4-0.
Swindell retired 15 of the next
16 hatters until Dykstra's double
in the seventh. Consecutive dou
bles by Kruk and Hollins pro
duced another run in the eighth.
Houston got runs on sacrifice
flies in the third inning by Steve
Finley and in the fourth by Gon
zalez.
