Aggies tame Bearkats, 2-0
Weather leads
to pitchers’ duel
By Stewart Doreen
The Battalion
The Texas A&M baseball team
used Rich Petrus two-run single
and strong pitching perfor
mances to defeat the Bearkats of
Sam Houston State 2-0 in front
of a sparse 529 foul-weathered
fans at Olsen Field Tuesday
night.
“We’ve won four out of our
last five,” Head Coach Mark
Johnson said. “I thought our
pitchers did a good job.”
In a game where a hard-
blowing northerly wind would
cause problems for the hitters,
the Aggies’ pitchers came out
throwing strikes in the com
bined five-hit shutout by Kevin
Beirne, Chris Clemons and Chad
Allen.
Beirne went the first four in
nings allowing only two hits
while striking out four.
Clemons, who improved his
record to 4-4, entered the game
in the fifth and gave the Aggies
Kyle Burnett/7’A<? Battalion
A&M centerfielder Sean Alvarez (12) steals second during the
second inning of Tuesday nights' game with the Bearkats.
four strong innings striking out
five and allowing two hits.
“I thought it was a rough
night for hitters,” Johnson said.
“Kevin did throw the breaking
ball over for strikes in key spots.

Irvin ‘not-so-silent’ about new coach
The Associated Press
IRVING — Dallas Cowboys
receiver Michael Irvin kept up
his not-so-silent protest of the
team’s recent coaching change
Tuesday by cleaning out his
locker at the team’s training fa
cility.
Irvin only stayed at Valley
Ranch long enough to pack up
his shoes and workout gear. He
did not meet with team owner
Jerry Jones as he said he wanted.
"You guys don’t even know
what I’m mad about,” Irvin said.
"You’re just speculating.”
Speculation has been that
Irvin is irate over the departure
of coach Jimmy Johnson, who
coached Irvin for five years in
Dallas and four at the University
of Miami.
Irvin also laughed off the idea
of Barry Switzer becoming
coach when it was only a ru
mor, possibly embarrassing the
All-Pro receiver once it became a
reality.
Since Switzer was hired last
week, Irvin playfully threw a
trash can at reporters then
walked out of the coach’s first
team meeting Monday.
“I haven’t had a chance to
visit with Michael,” Jones said.
‘‘Michael is a professional. We
all know how he plays and what
he means to our team, so Tm
just not concerned from the
standpoint of him being a part
of the Cowboys.”
Switzer has said he’s im
pressed with Irvin and appreci
ates his loyalty to Johnson.
Irvin has said he’d like to re
work his 1994 salary, which will
pay him $1.25 million. His
agent Steve Endicott said the
Cowboys have not discussed
renegotiating the contract.
A&M’s family man
Aggie QB
credits skills
to brothers
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz
The Battalion
When quarterback Corey Pullig
steps on Kyle Field during the
Maroon and White scrimmage on
Saturday, there will be seven new
assistants and almost an entire
new offensive line from last sea
son’s A&M team, but one thing
will stay the same.
The group Pullig said is his
most important supporting cast in
his career — his family — will make
their usual trek from Deer Park to
their new home away from home,
Kyle Field.
Pullig will be a junior next sea
son and has been A&M’s starting
quarterback since the Louisville
game on Nov. 7, 1 992. His
record as a starter is 14-3.
He credits his family, especially
older brothers Toby, Scott and
Joel, with molding him into the
person and player he is today.
“I’m real big into my family,”
he said. “Without them I would
not even be close to where I am.
My brothers have all helped me
become the quarterback that I
am.”
Toby Pullig, the oldest, played
college baseball and may be the
reason for Corey’s arm strength.
While most of the Pullig boys
were doing their own thing, Toby
said he conned Corey into throw
ing the baseball around.
“I always promised him five
dollars,” Toby said. “Corey jokes
with me by telling me I owe him
about 20,000 dollars.”
Scott helped Pullig learn to read
defenses, while the youngest of
his older siblings, Joel, helped

team's spring drills. Pullig has started for the Aggies for the last 17
games and has a 14-3 record during those starts.
him “overcome shyness.”
“Scott was always trying to
teach me coverages,” Pullig said.
“And Joel was like my best friend
while I was growing up.
“Without those three brothers,
I would not be able to go out in
front of 70,000 fans. I was the
shyest little kid. I wouldn’t leave
my mother for anything.”
Joel said he strongly agrees
with his “little brother.”
“We used to go the mall, and I
used to embarrass him with the
