Ballpark at Arlington
Continued from Page 7
The loss put the Longhorns at
41-14 overall for the year and
14-10 in conference play. It was
the worst defeat ever for Texas
at Disch-Falk Field and was also
the biggest margin of victory for
the Aggies in the series history.
“Someone told me that this
was the most that we’ve ever
beaten them by, “ Johnson said.

Freshman pitcher Shane King
sits and contemplates what
went wrong during A&M’s 10-5
loss to UT on Friday.
“Those things aren’t that impor
tant to us, as long as we win.”
Amazingly enough, the big
numbers put on the board by the
Aggies’ offense did not even ap
proach the club records. In 1936,
A&M lit up Southern Methodist
for 32 mans in a single game, and
in 1985, the Aggies collected an
all-time best 30 hits against
Texas Tech.
Perhaps the biggest statistic
to come from the win was the
fact that it allowed the Aggies to
remain in first place, despite los
ing two of the three games.
A&M remains tied with Rice
University for the top spot in the
SWC, since the Owls lost two of
three this weekend to Texas
Tech. The Red Raiders also re
main in the hunt with a 12-9
mark and Texas is in a virtual
tie with them for second place.
Next up for the Aggies is a cru
cial, three-game, season-ending
series next weekend in Fort
Worth. The May 13 game will be
played at The Ballpark in Arling
ton, home of the Texas Rangers.
The Aggies feel that winning
this series is important so that
they will gain momentum going
into the conference tournament.
“This was a big victory for us,
but Texas still won two games in
this series, including the first
one at Olsen, “ Johnson said.
“We still have a lot to prove and
a ways to go before we are play
ing the way that we are capable
of playing.”
Indians take 12
to beat Rangers
□ Missed opportunities
cost Texas the game,
but split the four game
series with Cleveland.
ARLINGTON (AP) — Anoth
er hit here for Texas or a better
fielded ball there for the
Rangers, and the Cleveland In
dians may have started the sea
son in a hole at 1-3.
Instead, Cleveland got the
breaks. Not all the bounces went
the Indians’ way, but there were
enough good ones to salvage a
split of a four-game season-open
ing series with a 7-6 victory in
12 innings Sunday.
“I’m glad to get out of here
with a split,” Cleveland manag
er Mike Hargrove said. “Any
time you go on the road, that’s
what you have to shoot for. ...
Starting the season 1-3 would’ve
been very difficult.”
The Indians may not have
had a choice if Texas’ Matt
Whiteside (1-1) had stopped a
comebacker in the 12th and ei
ther held Albert Belle at third or
maybe even turned a double
piay.
Instead, it bounced off his
glove, Belle scored the go-ahead
run and soon after Eddie Mur
ray scored what turned out to be
the winning run.
Then again, the game may
never have gone to extra innings
had the Rangers turned an even
easier double play opportunity
in the third.
Spurs: Rodman’s attitude key
Continued from Page 7
cost the Spurs dearly.
If the Spurs are going to get
anywhere, Rodman has to clean
up his act. Considering this is
the playoffs, it seems like that
would be simple.
But as history has taught us,
Rodman is anything but simple.
When he is on, there is no better
rebounder in basketball. When
he is off, there is no one worse at
dissolving team chemistry.
The Western Conference
has three other quality con
tenders in Utah, Phoenix and
Seattle. Despite loudmouth
Charles Barkley’s insistence
that the Spurs can’t hang with
the Suns in a playoff series,
San Antonio has proven to be
the team to beat.
With the homecourt advan
tage throughout the playoffs
and the best road record in the
regular season, the Spurs can
play anywhere without fear.
But it all comes back to Mr.
Robinson. He has spent his ca
reer anchoring average teams
with questionable desire. He fi
nally has the support on the
boards with Rodman and on the
offensive end with Elliott.
in playoff run
The pieces are finally in place
and the Spurs are on well on
their wayto the championship.
Barring any major catastro
phes, there is no reason why
the Spurs can’t win it all.
Another first-round playoff
loss would set the Spurs back
beyond recognition. The veter
ans are getting older, and
Robinson can’t continue his fu
rious pace of scoring and re
bounding forever.
It’s now or never, and soon
the NBA will see if San Antonio
is more than just the spur of
the moment.
