Blackburn said she played confident and error-free, beat ing Payuter's net game with passing shots white Payuter beat herself by missing serves. "1 was playing confident in the final match; F didn't make any mistakes/' Blackburn said. Blackburn, a walk-on at A&M who transferred from Arkansas, said her last game playing for A&M was special. H felt important here, more than at Arkansas, and 1 think next year the team will be much better." With the exception of Black burn, A&M will return four out of five of their conference tournament starters. Kleinecke said his young team will be very deep, return ing number-one player Janine Burton-Durham and Christine DiNardo, the SWC champion in the third slot. Aggies Continued from Page 7 High product has also con tributed at the plate with a .358 average and 41 RBI's. Harris also said that if the im probable happens and the Aggies drop one to UTSA, it would have little effect on the team's play this weekend. "Tomorrow's outcome will not effect this weekend's series at all," he said. The Aggies will try to main tain their recent offensive output as the season draws to a close. The offense has been on a roller coaster ride of late, scoring a few runs in one game, then coming back to score in double digits the next. Lewis added that the Aggies will do offensively the things that have made them number one in the nation. "We're going to put the ball in play, hit it hard, and if we stick with it, the ones that are not dropping in right now will fall in," Lewis said. "We're going to do what got us here." The first pitch will be thrown at 7 p.m. at Olsen Field. Plumer Continued from Page 7 record, until Southwest Texas State put an end to the talk that the Aggies would go undefeat ed the whole season. Of course, that is impossible because in the game of baseball the law of averages catches up with a team. But now it boils down to the big series. Longhorns vs. Ag gies. A championship on the line. As the week winds down to an end, the excitement should mount. Not only for the fans, but the participants. "It's the big one next week end," A&M centerfielder Brian Thomas said. "We are going to kick back for a couple of days and then get prepared to play them. "We've got to be positive about where we are and take care of business when the time comes. If we can do that, then we will be sitting pretty." A&M catcher Robert Lewis, who was the hero of last week end's demolition of Rice, said he was not going to take backseat to anyone. "I don't want to be co-cham pion with Texas," Lewis said. "I can't wait until next weekend because I think we are going to be tough to beat. This is what playing baseball is all about. "I want to win the champi onship outright. I don't plan on sharing anything with any body." Enough said. There seems to be a stigmatism attached to sharing a championship. It can make a player feel like he just got done kissing his sister. To avoid that, the scoreboard from one game needs to show A&M with more runs than Texas at the end of the contest. Of course, that will not be easy because, after all, it is Texas. Texas head coach Cliff Gustafson will not have to make any motivational speeches to get his team prepared. If play ing A&M is not enough, then how about the fact that the Longhorns could rain on A&M's victory parade? Heady stuff, no doubt about it. But don't be surprised if the Longhorns become the team that needs the umbrella. Maybe you aced your finals. Then again, maybe you didn’t. But hey, you graduated!
