The Corps will use the money for its scholarship fund, and the IFC will donate its share to a Bryan-College Station family in need. Trey Schroeder, IFC external vice president and senior business analysis major, said the fra ternity team’s six untimely defensive errors con tributed to its demise. Schroeder said the game was “pretty stan dard” because of average pitching and rusty play by the participants, most of whom have probably not played in a baseball game dur ing the last year. “It’s hard to come back into (baseball) and be in the swing of things,” Schroeder said.

Marc Mulkey, a Corps player and senior indus trial distribution major, said the game promotes A&M spirit, and despite the bashing the rival teams might display, the game is played in good fun.
