of the ninth, but by then Granger
was merely pitching for the pride
of owning a shutout to clinch the
SWC ring.
"It was very disappointing,"
Granger said. "I felt that I pitched
good enough to get the shutout."
Although that near-shutout
had a lot to do with Granger's left
arm, the defense behind him car
ried its share of the load. With
only one error, and that one ques
tionable, the A&M infield was
rock-solid exactly when it needed
to be.
The Aggies' most impressive
play in the field came in the top
half of the fifth, when third base-
man Lee Fedora dove to his left to
snare a sharp Tim Harkrider
grounder and flipped it to second
baseman Eric Gonzalez to start at
5-4-3 double play. That play was
one of the many that helped
Granger earn his twelfth win of
the season.
"It's a lot easier to pitch with a
defense like I had today," Granger
said.
"That's what a big game is all
about. You have to step up and
make those plays"
After taking two out of three
games from Texas over the week
end, the 47-7 Aggies now get to
relax at their spot in the catbird's
seat and take a week off before
preparing for the SWC Tourna
ment. That just gives Granger
and the rest of the team more of a
chance to sit back and reflect on
their own piece of history.
"That's been a dream of mine,"
Granger said, "To win the South
west Conference title here in
Olsen Field.
"It's been a long time."

big-bucks billionaires that have
no sense of value for the game
that they play three quarters of
every year.
A case in point is Toronto's
new Skydome, which was built
in 1990. True, the unique feature
of having a game that can be
played indoors or outdoors is no
doubt unique, but is this sunroof
option necessary? Isn't that fea
ture closely related to having
power door locks and windows
in your car?
Baseball is a game of simple
pleasures, and the extraneous
technologies built into these new
arenas are not necessary. Who
needs a McDonalds or a Hilton
hotel in a ball park anyway? Still,
three million people a year spend
thirty dollars on tickets to see
their beloved Blue Jays play. The
designers of the stadium have
ironically used the fans to pay for
the construction of the destruc
tion of baseball.
Luckily, all hope is not lost be
cause yes, you can still catch the
true spirit of baseball alive and
well today. But, you have to go
to such metropolitan areas as
Peoria, Toledo, Greenville or
Gastonia to find it.
Minor league baseball is the
lace where a simple salary of
500 a month is commonplace
and real stadiums host a game
played before the fans who creat
ed it and it so dear. The players
play because they have a dream,
a dream to take them to stardom.
fame and million-dollar status. A
dream that will take them
to...The Show.
Career minor league players
play because they love the game,
not because they want the mon
ey. They could make more mon
ey working at Skydome's Mc
Donalds. I am also willing to bet
a Quarter-Pounder combo at that
same Skydome McDonalds that if
you were to ask these pioneers of
baseball where they would most
love to play a game, it would be
at Fenway, Wrigley, Tiger or, the
most relished of all, Yankee Sta
dium.
Of course, any player would
jump at the chance to play any
where on a major league baseball
club. But in their heart of hearts,
they know what baseball is all
about. It's about the bumps and
bruises, the long bus rides, the
smell of a fielder's glove, the aura
of a shining, new, white baseball,
the hanging curveball and, most
of all, the sights and sounds of
the game in the confines of the
perfect baseball stadium.
I believe that baseball has fi
nally pointed itself in the right
direction with the newly-built
Camden Yards in Baltimore, as
well as the new Rangers Stadium
to open next year in Arlington.
The mystique is back, the lore
can continue, and the spirit of the
game will indeed return after be
ing lost in the world of conformi-
ty ”
Finally, the signs will be on
the walls, the tributes to the great
ones will be enshrined in a spe
cial section of the ballpark, and
the fans can sit back and smell
the unmistakable scent of pure
baseball.

to the Longhorns' lineup is not
known.
The chance for a sweep on Sun
day bounced off Kelly Wunsch's
foot, who absorbed his first loss
off the season.
After A&M scored a run in the
first inning, Texas struck for its
only lead in the series during the
fourth inning. After Longhorns
first baseman Brooks Kieschnick
and leftfielder Stephen Larkin
both walked, designated hitter Pe
ter Gardere attempted to bunt
them over.
Wunsch had trouble fielding
the ball, and his throw went awry
down the first base line, allowing
Kieschnick to score. Third base-
man Chad Blessing followed with
a shot off of Wunsch's foot, which
allowed Larkin to score for a 2-1
Texas lead. The Longhorns added
another run in the inning, and
that would be the only offense
they would need.
"The fourth inning was bad,"
Wunsch said. "When he hit the
ball, it sounded like a dull thud
when it went off my foot. There
was nothing I could do to stop it."
A&M coach Mark Johnson said
that although Wunsch pitched a
good game, there was only one
person that could be blamed.
"Kelly threw an okay game,
but he made a

defensive mis

said. "He was

"He has only

fault."
While Wun-
Wunsch
sch had one bad inning, Texas
starter Ryan Kjos suffered no ma
jor malfunctions. He pitched a
complete game, giving up one run
on seven hits while striking out
nine.
It looked like it might be a long
day for the sophomore
righthander, as the Aggies gener
ated a two-out rally in the first in
ning.
Centerfielder Brian Thomas
doubled down the left field line,
and later scored when designated
hitter Rob Trimble singled him
home. But the Aggies could not
generate any more offense, as Kjos
cruised to the victory.
Kjos credited his defense with
the win.
"I'm glad the defense could
make the plays, because we didn't
play too well in the first two
games out in the field," Kjos said.
"I think the last time I threw a
complete game was when I was
16.
"This was one we needed, and
I am glad I was able to help out
the team."
Thomas said that A&M had a rea
son to struggle offensively.
"You have to give credit to
Kjos," he said. "He got more
pumped up as the game went on.
If we could have jumped on him
in the early innings, it might have
been a different story.
"But you have got to live with
it, because the luck just wasn't
there."
Although A&M did lose the
last game of the series, it was not
a lost weekend, Thomas said.
"We won the series, which is a
good feeling," he said. "The guys
are disappointed about losing this
game, but we are excited about
winning two out of three.
"Now we need to concentrate
on getting to Omaha for the Col
lege World Series."
