Thursday • April 11, 1996 Page 11* The Battalion Giants punish slumping Astros Barry Bonds and Glenallen Hill each ripped Houston for five runs batted in in San Francisco s 11-5 rout. HOUSTON (AP) — Glenallen Hill hit two homers, including his fourth career grand slam, and Barry Bonds also drove in five runs Wednesday to power the San Francisco Giants to an 11-5 victory over the Houston Astros. Hill’s grand slam highlighted a six-run fourth inning as the Giants gave rookie Osvaldo Fer nandez (2-0) his second win. Hill added a solo homer in the ninth, his third. Bonds homered and went 3- for-4 to raise his batting aver age from .233 to .294. He had an RBI single in the first, a two-run homer in the third and added a two-run double in the fourth as the Giants shelled Darryl Kile (0-2). Ceremonies Continued from Page 9 said, “because that’s not right. It’s the Olympic Committee’s thing; we’ve been put in charge of a certain part of it. I say I’m choreographing the opening ceremonies; I can’t say that I’m choreographing the event, just part of it, a good portion of it.” With all his work with the NCA, it is amazing that Wilmoth has time for anything else, especially school. However, Wilmoth has successfully juggled both. He will graduate in May and has compiled a list of activ ities that leaves one wondering how he has the time. He is a prime example of the well-rounded athlete. He was a member of the Texas A&M diving team for three years and a member of Traditions Council. He was a tour guide for the Ag gie Visitor’s Center, involved in Ag- The Giants won for the fifth time in seven games after start ing the season 0-2. Their 5-4 record marks the first time they have been above .500 since July 3. It was another lopsided loss for the Astros, whose 3-6 homes- tand equaled their worst of last season. Houston, which has lost five of its last six, was outscored 61-35 in the nine games. Fernandez (2-0), who defeated Florida in his major-league de but, allowed 12 hits in six in nings. The right-hander, who de fected from Cuba last year and was pursued by several teams in the offseason, struck out four and walked one. Kile had his second poor out ing, giving up 10 runs and nine gie Hostel and participates in Class Council. He also works as an instructor at Aerofit gymnastics in College Station and has judged the Texas Aggie Dance team tryouts for the past two years. Outside of school, Wilmoth is a hits in 3 2-3 innings. He walked four and threw three wild pitches. Rick Wilkins hit a two-run homer in fourth and Jeff Bag- well hit his third homer in the seventh inning. Hill has seven multi-homer games. Rod Beck became the Giants’ career saves leader in Tuesday night’s 3-1 victory. Beck has 128 saves, eclipsing the 127 of Gary Lavelle from 1974-84. Matt Williams had his hit ting streak ended by going 0- for-3. He did have a sacrifice fly in the first. The Astros have lost five of six games since starting the sea son 2-1. Because of all his activities, Wilmoth is at home in front of a crowd. But that doesn’t stop him from getting a little anxious about performing in the opening ceremonies. “You get the jitters,” Wilmoth said. “It’s more of a rush. Not only "You get the jitters. We're out there welcoming the world — the world is watching." — JOE WILMOTH Texas A&M senior and Olympic choreographer member of the Texas All-Stars, which competes in the open division of the NCA Championships. This team, which represents Texas in these competitions, won the nation al title last year and placed second this year. He has also coached several squads for the National Champi onships, including the Bryan High squad this year. are we going to have the four billion in the television audience, we’re go ing to have 89,000 in the stands and they pay big money to be there. We’re out there welcoming the world — the world is watching.” While the world watches, Aggies worldwide will be watching as Wilmoth goes to Atlanta, not only representing the United States, but Texas A&M as well.

SRAs are tax- delerred annuities designed to help build additional assets money that can help make the difference between living and living ire// after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away. What’s more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year. As the nation's largest retirement system, based on assets under management, we offer a wide range of allocation choices — from the TIAA Traditional Annuity, which guarantees principal and interest (backed by the company s claims-paying ability), to TIAA-CREF’s diversified variable annuity accounts. And our expenses are very low* which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health. To find out more, call 1 800 842-2888.We II send you a complete SRA information kit, plus a free slide calculator that shows you how much SRAs can lower ytmr taxes. Call today — it couldn't hurt.
