throw at us,
but that's what
makes it excit-
mg.
The Aggies
will go into the
game with pre
season poll
rankings rang
ing from
fourth to thir
teenth by
some publica
tions. But Slocum said he is try
ing to keep the team from reading
too much into preseason national
rankings.
"The final poll is the one we're
concerned about," Slocum said.
"There is no reason for us to talk
Slocum
about it until then. From now un
til the Texas game, we don't need
to pay any attention to the polls."
Rankings aside, the physical
part of the game is one of
Slocum's main concerns.
He said that the players have
been working extremely hard and
that they are prone to two kinds
of exhausation.
"You've got to be prepared
both mentally and physically
every single week," Slocum said.
"We've worked hard all spring
and during two-a-days. We just
need to go out there and play."
To combat any fatigue that the
players may have felt after two
weeks of practice,
Slocum gave the team a break
this past weekend and instructed
them to get some rest before the
game.
"I just told them to go see their
girlfriend or go home and get
some of mom's good cooking or
whatever they wanted," Slocum
said.
"I just told them to get away
from the game for a few days and
be as far away from it as possible.
I told them to get away from the
coaches, the field, everything.
"I also told them that on Mon
day when they returned, we were
going to turn it up a notch and
that it was game week, time to get
serious again."
On a team that has a large ma
jority of seniors, Slocum said the
goal of this year's team is to bring
home a national championship.
But at the same time, they can not
look too far down the road,
Slocum said.
"All of us expect to go to a
bowl game," Slocum said.
"A bowl game and a champi
onship is our ultimate goal, but
we're going to do it with cautious
optimism."
Slocum said that while there is
some pressure in being a top 10
team, he is confident the team can
again finish among the elite of col
legiate football this season.
"Being highly ranked definitely
puts us on the hot seat," Slocum
said. "Most teams have a goal to
finish 7-4 and go to a bowl game
and to them, that's a great season.
If we did that, it would be seen
as a big disappointment.
The coaches and the players
are both glad, it is what we all
live for.
This is what we do all our
work for and everything else is
secondary."
Slocum said he forsees good
things for the Aggies, but more
importantly to the fans, he ad
mitted knowing what it is they
all want.
"I want to be at a place where
they don't like to lose."

Texas 8, Boston 1
BOSTON — Juan Gonzalez took the major-
league lead with his 40th homer and Kenny
Rogers won his sixth straight start as the Texas
Rangers beat the Boston Red Sox 8-1 Tuesday
night.
Rogers (14-7) allowed six hits in his third
complete game and tied Ferguson Jenkins'
team record, set in August 1974, of six wins in
a month. He is 10-2 since June 17 and is the
American League's winningest left-hander
since July 6 with nine victories.
Roger Clemens (10-11) lost his first start
since breaking a four-game losing streak with
a combined shutout Friday night. He allowed
six runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Atlanta 8, San Francisco 2
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves may have
the momentum in the NL West race, but the
San Francisco Giants still have the lead.
David Justice put the race in perspective
Tuesday night after the Atlanta Braves closed
to within 31/2 games of the front-running Gi
ants with an 8-
Houston 10, New York 2
NEW YORK - Pete Harnisch allowed
three hits in seven innings, and Houston
pounded three Mets pitchers for a season-high
18 hits Tuesday night as the Astros snapped a
five-game losing streak with a 10-2 victory
over New York.
Harnisch (12-8) struck out six and walked
three in matching his single-season victory
mark set in 1991.
Steve Finley had three RBIs, and Craig Big-
gio and Jeff Bagwell each added two. Bagwell
had three singles and a double in five at-bats.
Dwight Gooden (12-15) left the game after
four innings with inflammation in his right
shoulder. He allowed four runs on eight hits
2 victory.
"They're
the ones being
chased," Jus
tice said after
driving in four
runs to back/
the six-hit
pitching of
Greg Maddux.
"They're
not going to
fold," Justice
said. "I think
it's going to
the wire."
Maddux
agreed.
"We still got some ground to make up," he
said.
Maddux (16-9) won his fourth decision in a
row and pitched his seventh complete game of
the season. He fanned three and walked one.
It was the third victory in a row and the
17th in 20 games for the Braves, looking for a
third consecutive division crown. The closest;
the Braves have been to first since the opening
weeks was three games on May 28.
Atlanta has now won four straight against;
the Giants, Tuesday's victory coming after the
Braves' three-game sweep in San Francisco last
week.
After Barry Bonds gave the Giants a 1-0
lead with his 39th homer to start the fourth,
the Braves took control in the bottom of the in- Ullty O
ning with a five-run rally off Bill Swift (17-7).
