Just when it looked like the
Aggie Baseball Team was
primed for a long run through
the post-season, the season end
ed just as quickly as it began.
Having won four consecutive
games, including a season-end
ing sweep over Baylor, the Ag
gies were prepared to make
some noise in the final South
west Conference Tournament.
The team recorded the third-
best batting average in school
history (.337), the second highest
total of stolen bases with 122
and a .962 fielding percentage.
But after their uplifting finish,
the Aggies met disappointment in
Lubbock, dropping two of three
tournament games. Following an
opening-game 9-7 loss to eventual
tournament champion Rice, A&M
fought off elimination, rebounding
with a 12-10 victory over the Uni
versity of Houston.
However, an anti-climactic 8-
1 loss to Baylor ended the Ag
gies’ season. Despite a re
spectable 37-21 record and third-
place finish in conference play,
A&M failed to garner an at-large
berth into an NCAA Regional for
the second time in three years.
A&M Head Coach Mark John
son said despite his team’s solid
finish behind Texas and Texas
Tech in the conference race, he
respected the Regional Selection
Committee’s exclusion of A&M.
“I think a lot of folks were
surprised when the dust cleared
at the end, and we finished third
in the SWC behind two highly-
ranked teams,” Johnson said.
“I’m happy that we (had)
three quality teams representing
our conference (in Regionals).”

sweep at
the hands
of Texas
Tech the
following
weekend
seemed to
take the
wind out
of the Ag
gie’s sails.
“The
The Aggies shot out of the
blocks in February and early
March, romping to victory in 19
of their first 24 games.
From that point, the team’s
play in conference games can
best be described as a roller
coaster ride.
After going 2-2 at the SWC
worst development of the season
was getting swept by Tech,” se
nior pitcher Dean Mitchell said.
“That hurt us mentally and we
couldn’t completely get our confi
dence back.”
A&M did rebound, however,
and was able to pick up some mo
mentum, winning seven consecu
tive contests and eight of ten be
fore suffering a sweep at Rice.
After salvaging a series split
with Texas on April 26-28, the
Aggies displayed sparks of
hope with a regular-season
ending sweep of Baylor two
weeks later.
“Although we finished the
season on a good note by sweep
ing Baylor, we weren’t able to
maintain the consistency you
need to be a championship ball
club,” Johnson said.
After enduring some rocky
times, Mitchell felt content
with A&M’s third-place confer
ence finish.
“It was definitely satisfying
considering how many people
had written us off after the
first half of the season,”
Mitchell said.
Many of A&M’s problems on
the diamond stemmed from in
consistent pitching, a problem
Johnson said will be corrected
next season.
He believes the return
pitchers Ryan Rupe and Joi
Codrington after sitting oi
1996 with injuries will provi<
a solid foundation.
The Aggies will also pla
their hopes next season on J
son Tyner.
Voted the SWC Freshman
the Year by the league sports ii
formation directors, Tyner k
the team with a .407 batting a
erage and set a school recoi
with 41 stolen bases.
Shane King, winner of ti
Olsen Outstanding Pitchir
Award, had a 7-4 record whi
throwing for five complete game;
Jason Stephens, named
the All-SWC team as a desi
nated hitter, will return for h
senior year.
Though nostalgic about tl
end of the Southwest Confe
ence, Johnson anticipates
A&M rebound next year in tl
inaugural season of the Big
Conference.
Jazzercise Fitness Center
Right For Me! Right For You!
After having my second son I could not lose the weight 1 had gained during ptegnancy. No matter what I did, it seemed like I
was never going to fit into my “pre-pregnancy” clothes. I tried exercising at home, but it is very hard to stay motivated when
you are exercising by yourself At my first visit to Jazzerdse Cathy encouraged me to give it a chance, and not to be discouraged
when I didn’t see immediate results. Cathy also informed me that it would take about 6 to 8 weeks to see a significant differ
ence. Well, 1 snick to Jazzerdse and have been going steadily about a year now. It seemed like the more I went the mote I want
ed to go. I have met lots of people, had a lot of fun and, hey, I lost about 33 to 35 pounds! It was work to lose the weight, but
it just seemed like “play” instead. Jazzercise offers different types of classes with such a variety of music, so you never get bored.
I am so pleased widi the results of Jazzercise. I have gone ftom a size 11 to a size 5! That’s 41/2 inches off my thighs and 9 inch
es off my waist! Jazzercise has shown me that exercising doesn’t have to be a diore. As long as I am able I will be Jazzerdsing!
Cathy can sign me up for life! ufc I
