Turrabiartes to end the inning.
McIntyre pitched four in
nings in relief, allowing two
runs, three hits, and four walks
while striking out three.
The Aggies could not mount
a comeback, scoring their lone
run of the game in the bottom
fifth, closing the gap to 4-1.
Southwest responded by
adding two runs in the sixth to
ensure a 6-1 victory.
A&M head coach Mark John
son said the Aggies were never
really in the game.
"We couldn't get on track,"
Johnson said. "There are a lot of
excuses but the bottom line is
they did a better job than we did."
Bobcat starting pitcher Kevin
Kirkpatrick hurled a complete
game, yielding just five hits while
walking four and striking out
eight.
The first game started slowly
for A&M as well.
Bobcat starting pitcher Corey
Ehlers held the Aggies' hitless
through the first five innings.
"We came out flat, flatter than
a pancake," Johnson said. "That
happens in baseball, you don't
like it to happen and we try to
avoid it."
After walking leftfielder Sean
Alvarez to begin the sixth, SWTS
head coach Howard Bushong
pulled Ehlers from the game.
Morgan Reiter relieved Ehlers but
could not get the job done for the
Bobcats.
Reiter walked three of the first
four batters he faced, allowing a
run to score.
With the bases loaded and one
out, Harlan drove in the Aggies'
second run on an infield hit, their
first of the game. Second baseman
Rich Petru followed Harlan with a
ground out that scored Allen,
making it a 3-0 game in favor of
A&M.
Reiter retired Alexander on a
ground out to end the inning.
Southwest Texas tied the game
in the top of the seventh, roughing
up A&M reliever Brian Parker for
three runs on four hits.
Aside from the Bobcat hit bar
rage, Aggie miscues in the field
also aided the Southwest come
back.
An error on Harris with the
bases loaded and one out scored
Steele for the Bobcats' second run
of the inning while a wild pitch by
Parker with the bases loaded and
two outs scored Potts for the third
and final Bobcat run of the inning.
The game, originally supposed
to go only seven innings, was
forced into extra frames as the Ag
gies were unable to win it in the
home half of the seventh.
Southwest broke the tie in the
tenth as shortstop Robert Padilla
singled to leftfield passed a diving
Fedora, scoring Bobcat third base
man Craig McKee.
Padilla stole second base but
was nailed by freshman catcher
Tom Buchman to end the inning
when he attempted to swipe third.
As first baseman John Curl led
off the bottom of the tenth, the
Aggies, trailing for only the sec
ond time all season, were faced
with the unfamiliar role of coming
from behind.
"We have a ^ood belief in our
dugout that we’re going to come
back," Johnson said. "I feelg
that our guys believe that they
come t>ack and win a ball game

Lady Mavericks.
Andaya said she was pleased with the
performance of their steady senior
pitcher.
"Kim doesn't let a lot of things rattle
her," Andaya said. "She is going to hit
her targets and move the ball well. She
gives us our big wins."
Head Coach Bob Brock gave his
young team credit for bouncing back af
ter the first game.
"We may have been down after this
weekend, overall I'm pleased with how
we played," Brock said. "We are still a
young team, and it was a credit to them
that they could come back and shell the
pitcher that beat us in the first game."
Bittersweet day for USA
as Blair, Kerrigan triumph
The Associated Press
LILLEHAMMER, Norway — It was a
day for Olympic goodbyes — a fond
farewell to Bonnie Blair and her five
gold medals. A too-soon sendoff to the
U.S. hockey team and its hopes. A harsh
see-you-later for Tonya Harding and her
long-shot bid.
Throw in a big hello for Nancy Kerri
gan, who put seven nightmarish weeks
behind her to grab first place in a
women's figure skating competition rife
with intrigue and excitement.
With Harding looking on, Kerrigan
flashed a wide grin after completing a
near-perfect Wednesday night run over
the ice in Hamar.
Once the best scores of the night were
posted, she stood and waved to a cheer
ing crowd, relishing her moment of tri
umph.
Harding stared stonily from a private
box and applauded politely at the end of
Kerrigan's program.
Kerrigan's answer to Harding's
promise to "whip her butt" at the
Olympics was a breathtaking two min
utes that erased an almost endless pa
rade of grand jury probes, FBI investiga
tions, confessions and denials.
It w^s the first head-to-head competi
tion between Tonya and Nancy since the
shot heard 'round the world: A telescop
ing baton cracking across Kerrigan's
knee on Jan. 6.
Blair got the medal, but Harding and
Kerrigan got all the attention. ''Go for
the gold, Tonya" read one sign in the
crowd, which applauded as she skated
out.
Wearing a gaudy red outfit with
matching makeup, she stumbled on her
first jump — a triple lutz combination.
She did not fall, but wound up in 10th
place — out of the running for a medal
with Friday's free skate still to come.
"You can't be perfect every time,"
Harding said. "1 was happy with it. ...
When I have a gold medal around my
neck, that's when I'll feel I've achieved
what I came here for."
Harding was followed in the stand
ings by Oksana B^iul of the Ukraine,
Surya Bonaly of France and Lu Chen of
China. The sentimental favorite, Katari
na Witt, wound up with sixth and an
outside shot at a medal.
Harding's routine was a victory of
sorts, because only the threat of a $25
million lawsuit and a last-minute deal
with the United States Olympic Com
mittee cleared the way for her appear
ance.
More than 100 million Americans
were expected to tune in for the on-ice
conclusion to the off-ice soap opera,
which concludes Friday with the free
skate.
Witt, making her Olympic comeback
after six years away, was unruffled by
the massive scrutiny.
Despite a good-looking routine, she
received a series of unimpressive scores
— including one from the American
judge that left her asking in disbelief,
"Four-point-nine?"
Blair's victory in the 1,000 meter
speedskating, with her second-best time
ever, provided a fitting swan skate as the
29-year-old again put the world's best
competition on ice. She has one bronze
to go with her five golds; twice she fin
ished fourth.
"I've had a lot of great memories at
all of my Olympics," Blair said. "I will
miss it very much, but I think I will defi
nitely come back and be a spectator."
Undefeated Finland cruised to an
easy 6-1 victory in the quarterfinals, end
ing U.S. hopes of their first hockey
medal since 1980's gold.
Up and under.
