Astros quell Mets’ 9th Phillips pleads
inning rally, win 8-6
□ Derrick May's home
run gave Donne Wall
his first-ever victory.
NEW YORK (AP) — Der
rick May’s two-run homer in
the sixth broke a tie and
Houston starter Donne Wall
earned his first major league
victory Tuesday night as the
Astros held off the New York
Mets 8-6.
Wall (1-1), making his sec
ond major league start, gave
up three runs on seven hits in
5 1-3 innings. He struck out
four and walked none.
Astros reliever Mike Hen-
neman replaced Dave Veres
with the bases loaded and no
outs in the ninth with Hous
ton leading 8-3. Henneman
threw a run-scoring wild pitch
and Joe Orsulak hit a two-run
single before Jose Vizcaino
grounded into a double play to
end the game and give Henne
man his fifth save.

innocent to
assault charge
□ The Nebraska run
ning back has been
kicked off the team.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —
Lawrence Phillips pleaded in
nocent Tuesday to a charge
that he struck his former girl
friend, and coach Tom Os
borne said he thought the Ne
braska star initially was so
distraught he might harm
himself.
In a case that has rocked
the defending national cham
pions, the Heisman Trophy
contender also pleaded inno
cent to misdemeanor charges
of trespassing and destruction
of property.
“Not guilty,” Phillips said
calmly when asked for his
plea at Lancaster County
Court in an appearance that
lasted less than five minutes.
Day: Tougher SWC foes could make for a Fiesta
Continued from Page 7
up with a thrashing of Colorado
State last week. Climbing to No.9
in the AP poll, Colorado will
more than likely move to 3-0
this week as they take on North
east Louisiana at home. The Ag
gies’ Sept. 23 contest in Boulder
will be their ultimate regular
season test.
Two weeks ago, A&M found
beating LSU to be a tough chore.
There is a reason for that: LSU is
a solid football team. Last week
end, the Tigers followed up their
A&M loss with a 34-16 trouncing
of Jackie Sherrill’s Mississippi
State squad. First-year LSU
Head Coach Gerry DiNardo has
his team poised for success this
season and the better the Tigers
do, the better A&M looks for beat
ing them.
The Aggies’ Southwest Confer
ence opponents do not look too
shabby, either. The Oct. 7 game
at Texas Tech will be a fitting
challenge. The Red Raiders, three
touchdown underdogs to Penn
State last week, came within a
last-second field goal of shocking
the No.4 ranked Nittany Lions in
Pennsylvania.
Baylor, Texas Christian and
Rice are all off to 1-0 starts, and
the Bears and the Red Raiders
are a win or two away from crack
ing the Top 25.
Of course you can’t forget
Texas. The hated Longhorns Eire
currently checking in at a re
spectable No. 15 in the AP, and a
win over your bitter rival always
looks good to pollsters.
That leaves Tulsa, A&M’s op
ponent this week. While the Gold
en Hurricane isn’t exactly being
mentioned in the same breath as
Florida State or Nebraska; the
Aggies must recognize the pit-
falls of overlooking this team.
Four seasons ago A&M built a
28-10 halftime lead over Tulsa
in a non-conference game and
then sat back and watched the
Hurricane strike. The Aggies
lost 35-34, their only regular
season loss that season.
Maybe the 1995 schedule isn’t
quite as shaky as it seems. In the
SWC’s farewell season, every con
ference team will be raising its
play while non-conference gEimes
against LSU and Colorado will
impress pollsters.
Hopefully, an undefeated
regular season mixed with a
little luck will make all this
schedule talk seem irrele
vant. Then, the Aggies’ most
important game will be
played on January 2, 1996, in
the Fiesta Bowl.
