hero as he hit a monster shot to
center field to give the Aggies a 3-
2 lead to in the sixth. Lefthander
Jeff Granger was then put in to
save the game, but he ran into
some control problems. Bearkat
third baseman Bobby Johnson sin
gled home two runs after two
Granger walks and a single. In
the bottom of the seventh Billy
Harlan coaxed a walk and was
sacrificed to second by Robert
Harris. Thomas then hit the
g ame-winning home run, moving
hanger's record to 10-1.
"Brian Thomas and Robert
Harris showed up tonight for us -
they played real tough," A&M
coach Mark Johnson said. "We
had some real clutch hits and
plays tonight."
In the first game, A&M jumped
out to an early lead as Thomas hit
his first home run of the evening
with both Harlan and Harris
aboard. Sam Houston came right
back to tie it up in the top of the
second as catcher Rudi Garcia hit
a three-run homer.
Thomas gave the Aggies the
lead again with a massive two-
s run homer over
Thomas
the center field
wall. The Bear-
kats tied the
score in their
next at-bat
when first base-
man Brian Bit-
tiker's error al
lowed two runs
to score. After
trading runs,
the Bearkats
DARRIN HILL/Hu Butlulm
scored the winning run on Brian
Parker's wild pitch.
"Sam Houston always plays us
tough, and we know that," John
son said. "We might be a little flat
coming off the conference week
end series, but you have to give
them credit.
Robert Harris, a shortstop for A&M, looks for the umpire's call after
attempting to steal second base against Sam Houston.
"I don't think we being ranked
number one was a factor in our
play tonight, at least I don't feel
that way. It probably serves more
to juice other people up than it
does us."
The Aggies will try to bounce
back tonight when they take on
Texas Southern in a single game
at Olsen Field at 7:00. The game
will feature the second and final
25-cent hot dog night of the sea
son.

True, true, true. Partially.
Ask any coach and he'll tell
you that the top of the heap is a
much greater nigh in mid-June
than it is in mid-April. A nation
al championship is the ultimate
gpal of everyone from the coach
es to the grounds crew. Never
theless, a number-one ranking
during the season is a source of
pride for teams like A&M that
nave flirted with greatness but
have had trouble making it
through that first date.
No matter how long the Ag
gies stay atop the polls, the rea
son they are there is pretty obvi
ous. Yet again, it can be ex
plained by a cliche - good pitch
ing and defense.
A&M coach Mark Johnson's
starting rotation of Jeff Granger,
Trey Moore and Kelly Wunsch is
among, if not the, most potent in
the nation. The trio has com
bined for a 23-1 record, a stag
gering figure even in the college
ranks. Chris Clemons and John
Codrington have provided quali
ty starts when needed, with Rob
Trimble and Brian Parker stabi
lizing a bullpen that has been
shaky at times.

have fortified the middle infield
a year after both played at differ
ent positions. Brian Thomas has
braved the swirling Olsen Field
winds to become a spectacular
centerfielder, and Stephen Clay-
brook, the team's quietest con
tributor, has been an anchor in
right.
Of course, it always helps for
a team to have players like Billy
Harlan and Claybrook who can
seemingly steal bases at will.
Neither does it hurt to have a
lineup that's putting the ball
over tne fence at an unexpected
ly high rate.
Maybe it was just me, but it
seemed to be more than a coinci
dence that at the same time the
first of the three polls came out
on Monday afternoon. Home
Sports Entertainment was airing
its 10th anniversary show. In
cluded in that show was John
Byington's SWC Tournament
winning homer into the left field
bleachers against Texas in 1989.
When that shot was replayed, it
was goose bump city.
The resemblance of the '93
squad to that '89 team is almost
eerie. Talent at every position,
veteran leadership and a flair for
the dramatic are their common
traits.
This year we may get to see
another NCAA Central Regional
at Olsen Field. This time,
though, there might not be an
other Ben McDonald to put a
roadblock in front of the Aggies'
route to Omaha.
And that's no cliche.

Gonzalez added that team
chemistry and camaraderie have
boosted the team's overall de
meanor.
"All of us are close," she said.
"We are like a family, which I
think helps us on the field."
Gonzalez says her dominating
pitching is due mostly to A&M
coach Bob Brock and former A&M
star Shawn Andaya.
Andaya knows' top hurler for
the 1987 national championship
squad.
"They have really pushed me,"
she said. "They've helped me a
lot."
Gonzalez hopes she can learn
from Andaya the secrets to lead
the Lady Ags to another champi
onship in 1993.
"I'm trying my best to help the
team get to Kegionals and then
hopefully the College World Se
ries," she said. "I also have a lot of
respect for the seniors, and I (at
least) want to go far for them."
The A&M softball team has
five remaining regular season
games, all of which are double-
headers. The University of Texas-
San Antonio series, originally
scheduled for tomorrow at Bee
Creek Park, has been postponed
due to scheduling problems. After
a tournament in Tennessee this
weekend, the Lady Aggies will re
turn home to play two againsl
UT-Arlington on April 21. Action
will begin at 5 p.m. at Bee Creek.
