It happens in every sport, but I've found that baseball has the worst butt-slappers. While watching Saturday's game be tween Houston and Pittsburgh, I noticed that they couldn't keep their hands off each other. After Eric Anthony scored, it became a slap-happy festival. While some players were giving Eric the old high-five, some players were walking up to him, hitting him on his rump, and then walking away. Pete Harnisch didn't hit him once, not twice, but three times squarely on his hind end. It was quite a sickening display. Here are some options for the Astros the next time they want to congratulate a teammate: A. A team rendition of the "Hokey-Pokey." B. Two words: Cabbage Patch. C. Synchronized scratching. D. A swift kick to the groin. What would happen if der- riere slapping was adopted by other professions? Stockbroker: "That was a nice presentation you had there, Ed ward (hand shake). You'll go far in this company (SWAT!)." Waiter: "You did a nice job tonight, Elliot. Our glasses were always filled, and you made sure we got everything we needed (SWAT!). Thanks for my tip, Mr. Crawford." Minister: "That was a nice sermon Preacher Jones (SWAT!)." Teacher: "Hey Professor Rein er, I sure learned a lot today your class (SWAT!) Thanks, Johnny you'll be getting an 'A' this se mester." Musician: "Man, Axl, you were really rocking tonight (SWAT!) Bleeeeeeagh!! (SWAT!)" I feel that fanny-smacking has no place in our society. Whether you have hit a home run or scored a touchdown, I believe your butt should go hand-free. If you agree with me, feel free to express yourself by one of the following ways: A. "Hey Dave, nice column there!" B. "Dave for President!" C. Writing all the television networks to see if they want to do a movie about my life. (I want Scott Baio or Ricky Schroeder to play the lead role). D. A swift kick to the groin. Sweep Continued from Page 5 came out of the bullpen and kept them at bay so we could get a chance to gain the lead and in crease it. "You can't expect our starting pitchers to perform well at all times, but our bullpen picked up the slack. "I was pleased with the bullpen work and the clutch hitting." The biggest pressure hit was delivered in Saturday's first game by A&M catcher Robert Lewis. After Rice had scored four runs in the top of the third to take a 6-2 lead, Lewis tied the score on one swing. A&M first baseman Billy Har lan walked to start the bottom of the third. After shortstop Robert Harris flied out to right, center- fielder Brian Thomas followed with a double, putting runners on second and third. Take part in a Texas A&M tradition!

On a 3-2 pitch, Lewis hit a line-drive home run over the left field fence, tying the score and set ting the stage for an A&M sweep. ^After I heard that Tech beat Texas, it kind of pumped me up," Lewis said. "But I refocused on what we had to do, and what we had to do here. We've battled back all year. "As a team, we don't quit." Johnson credited Lewis with providing the big blast. "Lewis' home run gave us a breath of fresh air and got us back in the ballgame," Johnson said. A&M took the lead for good in the fourth inning when rightfield- er Stephen Claybrook hit a home run, putting A&M up 7-6. The second game was also a slugfest. Rice took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, but it was short-lived, as Lewis once again sparked the Aggies' fire. He led off the bottom of the second with a home run, which triggered an avalanche of A&M runs. After the dust had cleared, A&M had posted five runs on the board for a 5-3 lead. "Rice has a good ball team," Johnson said. "They've given everybody a tough time, and we knew it would be a showdown. Their guys played hard, our guys played hard, and we came out on top. "All year long our guys have played hard and battled back by keeping their heads up. I was proud. They don't believe they are going to get beat." Thomas said that the three wins were satisfying, even though the starting pitchers were roughed up a little bit. "They scored a lot of runs, but we were able to counter," Thomas said. "Our pitchers weren't really hooked up, so the offense had to pick up the slack, which we did. "The coaches told us to score runs, which we did." Lewis' bat heats up in clutch By KYLE BURNETT The Battalion In a Texas A&M-Rice weekend battle of the bats, one man's swing stood out above the rest - A&M catcher Robert Lewis. During the first game of Satur day's double header against Rice, the Owls jumped to a 6-2 lead in the top of the third inning. In the bottom of the the third, with the bases loaded up and two outs. Owls coach Wayne Graham replaced starting pitcher Bo John son with Marcus Nalepa. Lewis came to the plate and the count quickly filled up. But he took Nalepa's 3-2 pitch deep to left field for a game-tying grand slam. "It felt good," Lewis said humbly. "That gave us a breath of fresh air when he got us back into the ball game," A&M coach Mark Johnson said. Ironically, right before Lewis hit the grand slam, the stadium announcer told the crowd that in Lubbock Texas Tech had taken a 10-run lead over Texas. "Oh yeah, I heard (the an nouncement)," Lewis said. "1 was still just trying to focus on what I was doing at the plate." Focus on the job at the plate is exactly what Lewis did. In fact, he did that all Lewis day. Lewis went six for seven on the day and had eight runs batted in. The Aggies found them selves quickly falling behind Rice again in the second game. Again, Lewis served as a catalyst for a rally. When he took to the plate, the Owls were ahead 3-0. Lewis led off the the bottom of the second with a solo homer. Teammate Eric Gonzalez followed that with a homer to the opposite side of the park. By the end of the inning the Aggies had taken the lead, 5-4. "Those are really encouraging moments when you can get back into the ballgame quick," Johnson said. When asked about his day at the plate, Lewis said he was try ing to do the basics. "I had two strikes a couple of times, and I was just looking to put the ball in play," Lewis said. Trying to gain an edge, the Owls tried to break the Aggies rhythm with pitching changes Throughout the weekend, they used almost every pitcher on the squad, with six appearing in the second game alone. Lewis said that the tactic had no effect on him. "You get geared up in the game," Lewis said. "If you stay intense, it usually doesn't matter.’ With the Longhorns' two losses to Tech Saturday and Sunday, the Aggies have a co-championship wrapped up. But a share is not what they want. "We could be co-champions, but I sure don't want to share it with (Texas)," Lewis said.'I don't think anybody else on the team wants"to share it with them’ The Aggies need only one win to take the conference title out right. Draft Continued from Page 5 for," Bates said. Bates said he came out early because he felt he had accom plished all his goals in college. "It was time to move on," Bates said. "All my life my goal has been to play in the NFL. I chose this profession a long time ago." Bates added "It's important for me to have a successful career." In the third round, the New York Giants took Texas A&M's Marcus Buckley, an All-American linebacker. Nine picks later in the third round as the 75th player was cho sen the Philadelphia Eagles took Buckley's teammate Texas A&M cornerback Derrick Frazier. Tn the fourth round, Cincinnati drafted Marcello Simmons of SMU.
