Lady Aggies stay up late to sweep Bobcats
Dave House, The Battalion
Texas A&M leftfielder Heather Hayden slides safely
into third base during action Wednesday night.
Senior pitcher Erin Field won both games,
pitching a combined 11 and 1/3 shutout inning
Staff and Wire Reports
Erin Field continued her dominating
season on the mound and the Lady Ag
gie Softball Team stole a page out of
their Olsen Field counterparts’ book
Wednesday night en route to sweeping a
doubleheader against Southwest Texas
State University, 6-0 and 5-4.
The nightcap of the doubleheader
was an 11-inning marathon that the
Lady Aggies finally put away thanks to
the hitting of Field and leftfielder
Heather Hayden.
Field went 4-for-5 in the game with a
run batted in, and Hayden went 3-for-6
at the plate.
After Lori Gioco pitched the first 6
and 2/3 innings for the Lady Aggies,
Field entered the game and pitched the
final 4 and 1/3, allowing no baserunners
and striking out four Bobcats.
Field’s performance was made even
more amazing by the fact that she went
the distance in the first game of the
doubleheader, a seven-inning Lady Ag
gie yawner.
SWTSU’s Michelle Harrison was the
hardluck loser in the nightcap. She
went the distance for the Bobcats, and
although she gave up 14 hits to the
Lady Aggies, only three of their five
runs were earned off of her.
In the first game, played atthelg
Softball Complex in front of a crow
150, Field simply overpowered theEi
cats to guide the 16th-ranked Lady!
gies to their 26th win of the year.
Field pitched seven innings, allom
just five hits, walked no one andstn
out three while earning her 13thm
the year.
Two hours later, she had wonj
again to move her overall season reu
to 14-6.
Hayden also had a hot bat in the!
game, reaching base in all three oil
plate appearances with two hitsari
walk, along with scoring two runs,ii
ving in two more and stealing a base.
Also on target from the plate ini
first game was catcher Marian
McGuire, who went l-for-2 withtli
runs batted in.
The doubleheader sweep movedAi
to 26-10 on the season while SWIi
dropped to 10-32 overall.
The Lady Aggies return to actioni
weekend when they face new Big 12
ponent Nebraska in a three-game sera
The matchup begins with a doui
header Saturday at the Aggie Sd
Complex at 12:00 and 2:00 p.m.
The series finale will be played Si
day at noon.
NBA nails L.A.’s Van
Exel with $25,000 fine
He will also be suspended for seven games.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
Lay off the refs.
That was the message the
NBA sent Wednesday when it
suspended Nick Van Exel of
the Los Angeles Lakers for the
final seven regular-season
games and fined him a league-
record $25,000 for shoving an
official.
“I think everybody under
stands that if this happens
again the penalty will be even
more severe,” said Rod Thorn,
the NBA’s director of league
operations.
Van Exel’s suspension,
which began with Wednesday
night’s game against the Min
nesota Timberwolves, came
less than a month after Chica
go Bulls forward Dennis Rod-
man was suspended six games
and fined $20,000 for head
butting a referee.
Rodman’s suspension had
been the third longest in NBA
history for an on-court inci
dent until Wednesday.
“It was more than Rodman
did,” Thorn said of Van Exel’s
actions in Tuesday
night’s loss at Denver.
“Therefore, the fine
was $5,000 more and
one more game. I
think we got Mr.
Van Exel’s atten
tion.”
Thorn said he consid
ered suspending Van Exel
for the playoffs.
“I think they’re sending the
right message,” said Timber-
wolves guard Terry Porter, an
11-year NBA veteran. “They
don’t want people to feel like
they can put their hands on an
official and get away with it.”
Van Exel traveled with the
Lakers to Minnesota, but he
remained at the team’s hotel
during the game. He plans to
discuss his suspension during
a news conference at the Fo
rum in Inglewood, Calif., on
Thursday.
Sedale Threatt started at
point guard in Van Exel’s
place. Coach Del Harris said
Magic Johnson would not play
more than his normal 20-25
minutes to help make up for
Van Exel’s absence. Medical
restrictions prevent Johnson,
who has the virus that causes
AIDS, from playing more, Har
ris said.
“That was imposed on us,
and I don’t think this changes
that,” the coach said.
Harris said he had talked to
Van Exel twice since the inci
dent, including once Wednes
day.
“I think he’s totally embar
rassed by now,” Harris said.
“At first there was an adrena
line rush, just like there is
anytime you go through an
emotional situation.”
The league’s action will cost
Van Exel about $187,000, in
cluding $161,000 in pay during
the suspension. It also jeopar
dizes the Lakers’ playoff
chances just three weeks after
the team was splintered by
Cedric Ceballos’ unexcused
four-day absence.
“It’s inexcusable,” Johnson
said Tuesday night of Van Ex-
el’s actions. “You just don’t do
that. Now you’re going
to have to sit ... the
rest of the season.
Just when I
thought we were
smart, and then
wham!”
The incident oc
curred with 3:23 left in
the Lakers’ 98-91 loss to
Denver on Tuesday night.
The exchange between Van
Exel and referee Ron Garret-
son began after a foul was
called on the Nuggets’ Dale El
lis. Van Exel apparently made
a sarcastic remark about the
call, and Garretson, after a
brief conversation with Van
Exel, signaled a technical dur
ing a timeout.
Van Exel had turned away
before the technical was as
sessed, and he then followed
Garretson to the scorer’s table
to protest. Van Exel called
Garretson a “little midget”
during the subsequent argu
ment, and Garretson gave the
second technical, which results
in ejection.
Spurs ’ magic number drop
to one with 105-82 rout
San Antonio outscored Vancouver 33-12 in a deem
third quarter to drop the Grizzlies to 12-64 thisym
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Chuck Person led a balanced
attack with 15 points as the
San Antonio Spurs virtually
clinched their fifth division
title with a 105-82 rout of
the Vancouver Grizzlies on
Wednesday night.
The Spurs (56-21) reduced
to one their magic number
for clinching the Midwest ti
tle and the No. 2 playoff po
sition in the Western Confer
ence. A San Antonio victory
or Utah loss will do the trick.
Each team has five games re
maining.
The expansion Grizzlies
dropped to 12-64 overall with
their 27th loss in 28 games.
Vinny Del Negro, Avery
Johnson and Monty Williams
had 14 each for San Antonio.
Reserve rookie guard
Lawrence Moten led the
Grizzlies with 14.
After a lackluster first
half, the Spurs
scored 15
straight points
to break a SO
SO tie and com
pleted a 23-2
run to lead 73-
52 after eight
minutes of the
third quarter.
Del Negro, who had two
points at halftime, scored 12
points during the breakaway
stretch, including consecu
tive 3-pointers.
San Antonio outscored the
Grizzlies 33-12 in the quar
ter and Vancouver missed 11
straight shots at one junc
ture in the game.
With San Antonio leading
83-60 after three quarters,
head coach Bob Hill rested
his starters in the fourth
quarter.
Vancouver’s Bryant
Reeves missed his second
straight game with a sore
right knee.
Spurs forward Charles
Smith sat out his second
straight game with back
spasms. Will Perdue started
in his place.
Spurs center David Robin
son blocked one shot,
him three short of becomii
the 10th player with 21
career blocks. His 3.1
blocks per game is the
est career average.
