Rangers
demolish
Astros 17-5
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —
Third baseman Dean Palmer
and shortstop Benji Gil each
homered during a seven-run
first inning as the Texas
Rangers defeated the Houston
Astros 17-5 Sunday.
The Rangers sent 12 batters
to the plate as they collected
seven hits and two
walks against Astros starter
Darryl Kile in the first. Over
all, Kile allowed eight hits
and nine earned runs in
three innings.
Gil’s home run was his third
in the last three games and
also marked the fourth consec
utive game which he has dri
ven in a run.
The Rangers shortstop,
who had struggled at the
plate much of the spring,
also added a pair of doubles
during the Rangers’ 18-hit per
formance.
Texas starter Roger Pavlik
became the first Ranger
to pitch six innings this
spring. Pavlik, who entered
the game with an ERA of
2.25 this spring, was impres
sive as he allowed three hits
and one walk while striking
out three.
Oilers, 49ers choose Aggies
□ Eight Southwest Conference play
ers were selected in the seven-
round draft this weekend.
Staff and Wire Reports
Texas A&M running back Rodney Thomas and
linebacker Antonio Armstrong were two of the
eight Southwest Conference players taken during
the seven-round NFL draft this weekend.
Thomas was drafted in the third-round by the
Houston Oilers, the 89th pick overall and Arm
strong went in the sixth round to the San Francis
co 49ers as the 201st pick.
Two SWC linemen went in the first
round, with the University of Houston’s
offensive tackle Billy Milner being the
top SWC pick overall, going 25th to the
Miami Dolphins.
Four picks later, the Carolina Pan
thers selected University of Texas tackle
Blake Brockermeyer.
Two Texas Christian Horned Frogs
were the lone SWC representatives in
the second round. Center Barret Rob
bins was taken by the Los Angeles
Raiders at No.48 and wide receiver Jim
my Oliver went to the San Diego Chargers with
the 61st pick.
In the fourth round, the newly relocated St.
Louis Rams selected wide receiver Lovell Pinkney
from the University of Texas with the 115th pick.
Pinkney, who had been considered first round ma
terial a year ago, was hurt considerably by in
juries and alumni scandal allegations during his
senior season.
Defensive tackle Steve Strahan was the lone pick
from the Baylor Bears when he was selected with
the 188th pick by the Carolina Panthers. In the fi
nal round, former A&M linebacker Jessie Cox was
taken by the Indianapolis Colts. Cox played his final
collegiate season at Texas Southern.
Besides taking Thomas, the Houston Oilers
made several picks to help them in the present and
one big pick that points to their franchise’s future.
The Oilers’ used the third pick overall to grab
quarterback Steve McNair from Alcorn State. Oil
er officials said they want to bring McNair along
slowly and that the Division II star may not play
for a couple of seasons.
Besides drafting Thomas in the third round,
the Oilers also selected; Anthony Cook, a defen
sive tackle from South Carolina State, Chris
Sanders, a wide receiver from Ohio State, Torey
Hunter, a defensive back from Washington
State, Michael Roan, a tight end
from Wisconsin, Gary Walker, a defen
sive end from Auburn, Hicham El-
Mashtoub, a center from Arizona and
C.J. Richardson, a defensive back
from Miami.
The Dallas Cowboys, coming off a 12-
4 season but losing the NFC Champi
onship to the San Francisco 49ers, at
tempted to use the draft to fill holes left
by the defection of free agents such as
Kevin Williams, Mark Stepnoski and
Alvin Harper.
The Cowboys selections were; Sherman
Williams, a running back from Alabama, Kendall
Watkins, a tight end from Mississippi State,
Shane Hannah, a guard from Michigan State,
Charlie Williams, a defensive back from Bowling
Green, Eric Bjornson, a wide receiver from Wash
ington, Alundis Brice, a defensive back from Mis
sissippi, Line Hardin, a linebacker from Okla
homa State, Edward Hervey, a wide receiver from
Southern California and Oscar Sturgis, a defen
sive end North Carolina.
Spurs dance
□ The Spurs move
into the playoffs
with a six-game
winning streak.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Even
with David Robinson playing less
than half the game Sunday,
the San Antonio Spurs rolled into
the playoffs with their sixth
straight victory, 97-91 over the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Spurs, who with 62 wins fin
ished atop the NBA for the first
time in team history, will play Den
ver in a first-round playoff game
Friday. The Nuggets beat the Kings
102-89 Sunday night at Denver for
the final postseason spot.
Already guaranteed the best
record in franchise history and the
top seed in the Western Conference,
the Spurs rested Robinson most of
the game. Chuck Person came off
the bench to score 20 points against
his former team.
Averaging 27.8 points and 10.9
rebounds, Robinson sat out the en
tire second and fourth quarters.
He still finished with 13 points,
four rebounds and two assists as
past Wolves
San Antonio beat the Wolves for
the 27th time in 30 games.
No team has more wins against
Minnesota since it entered the
NBA in 1989.
The Wolves (21-61) finished tied
with Washington for the second-
worst record in the league, better
only than the Los Angeles Clip
pers. Minnesota is the first team
in NBA history to lose 60 or more
games four seasons in a row and
finished 41 games behind San An
tonio in the Midwest Division.
The Wolves were led by Isaiah
Rider, who scored 25 points in
what could be his last game in
Minnesota. The second-year shoot
ing guard frequently has flouted
team rules this year and is be
lieved to he.available to any team
that feels it can tame a talented
and troubled player.
Christian Laettner, also men
tioned in trade talks, had 16 points
and eight rebounds for Minnesota.
Dennis Rodman, the league’s re
bounding champion for the fourth
year in a row, added 10 points to
his 16 rebounds for the Spurs.
With Robinson playing only half
of the first quarter, the Wolves
stayed close in the first half with
Rider scoring 14 points and Rooks
scoring 13.
Aggie tennis
Continued from Page 7
TCU snapped the Uni
versity of Texas’ five game
winning streak in the fi
nal round by defeating the
Longhorns in a tightly
contested match, 4-3.
In the consolation
round, the Aggies fought
back to defeat Southern
Methodist University and
finish third in the tourna
ment. Junior Eric Horan
defeated Vikram
Venkataraghaven 6-0, 3-6,
6-0 to win his 30th match
of the season.
Eduardo Martinez
came back from being
down 5-2 in the third set
to defeat Paul Stephens 6-
2, 4-6, 7-5.
"Eddie Martinez came
out of nowhere,” Kent
said. "He and Horan are
the unsung heroes this
season. They have both
been good at the top and
consistent. They have
both had a good year.”
Horan finished third in
overall singles play in the
SWC with a record of 5-1.
Ricardo Rodarte placed
sixth with a record of 5-1.
Although the Aggies
place third, there was a bit
of a letdown from the first
place finish last season.
“We are disappointed,”
Eric Horan said. "We place
third and beat the teams
that we could. SWC tennis
is tough, but we will be
ready to step it up another
level for the regionals.”
A&M will host the
NCAA Region VI Men’s
Championship. The win
ner will receive the South
west Region’s automatic
bid to the NCAA Champi
onships. The Aggies are
looking forward to a re
match with TCU.
“We have the role of
the underdog,” Horan
said. “They have beaten
us twice and they are un
der pressure to beat us
again. TCU is a team that
is supposed to go to the
NCAA’s. It’s been a long
season but this is the
start of a new season
right now.”
