D. A swift kick to the groin.
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.

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!

Third baseman Lee Fedora
drew a walk, and then the tide
turned. 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.

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.
