Ags gear up for ‘Horns with rout
Dave House, The Battalion
Texas A&M catcher William Shiflett vents a little anger on the University of Texas-San Antonio's second
baseman during the Aggies' 1 5-4 blowout win
By Philip Leone
The Battalion
If only the weekends were
as easy as Tuesday evenings
for the Texas A&M Baseball
Team, the Aggies might still be
in contention for the final
Southwest Conference crown.
After being swept by Rice
over the weekend to fall to
fourth place in the SWC, the
Aggies returned to Olsen Field
last night and collected their
fifth consecutive Tuesday night
victory over a Southland Con
ference opponent with a 15-4
rout of the University of Texas
San Antonio.
Solid hitting and steady
pitching combined with hor
rendous UT-San Antonio field
ing produced the easy win for
the Aggies. The Roadrunners
put on a clinic for infield ugli
ness, committing a grand total
of eight errors, not to mention
two passed balls and two wild
pitches.
Roadrunner defensive blun
ders aiding their cause or not.
Aggie bats were responsible for
most of the damage. Already
leading 5-2 going into the bot
tom of seventh inning, A&M
sent 11 batters to the plate,
pounded out six hits and ex
ploded for seven runs.
The Aggies scored three
runs on RBI singles by William
Shiflett and Brian Benefield
before Jason Stephens
launched his eighth home run
of the season, a two-run shot
over the left field wall to bring
the score to 10-2.
Stephens’ blast was followed
by a single off the bat of Jeff
Bailey, who came around to
score on Johnny Hunter’s
triple to the left-centerfield
gap. Hunter scored a batter
later when UT-San Antonio
third baseman Steve Minus
overthrew first base on Ryan
Huffman’s ground ball.
A&M added three more runs
in the bottom of the eighth off
an RBI single from Jason Tyn
er and a two-run double by
Sean Alvarez.
A&M Head Coach Mark
Johnson could not complain
about his club’s 19-hit, 15 run
performance.
“All in all it was a good out
ing for us,” Johnson said. “Of
course, they helped us out a
bunch, but nevertheless we
knocked around the ball
around well. A lot of guys got
to play, and we got some
pitchers in that we wanted to
see work.”
Sophomore right-hander
John Sneed picked up his
team-leading seventh win of
the season after coming in to
pitch in the top of the fourth
inning for starter Jamie Smith.
Sneed struck out five and
held the Roadrunners score
less on just two hits over
three innings. Robert Keens
and Tim Clarkson came on to
close out the last three in
nings for A&M.
Despite seeing his starting
pitcher give up solo home runs
in each of the first two innings,
Johnson said he was pleased
with the overall performance of
the Aggie pitching staff.
“I thought Jamie had more
rhythm than he’s had lately,”
