Page 4 • The Battalion • Wednesday, June 5, 1996 ;Astros batter Rockies, 16-8 HOUSTON (AP) — John Can- gelosi and Sean Berry each hit three-run homers in the fourth in ning to lead the Houston Astros to a 16-8 victory over the Col orado Rockies on Tuesday night to end a three-game losing streak. The Rockies set a club record with six errors, three by catcher Jeff Reed, but all but one of the runs were earned as the Astros had 13 hits. The Rockies com mitted five errors four times, the last on Aug. 1, 1993. Rick Wilkins started the Astros’ fourth inning against Mark Thompson (3-5) with a triple off the center field fence. Thompson hit Mike Hampton with a pitch and Cangelosi then hit the 10th homer of his six-year major league career off reliever Lance Painter. Painter walked Craig Biggio, struck out Jeff Bagwell and walked Derek Bell prior to Berry’s sixth homer of the year. Biggio tied his own club record with five runs scored. Hampton (4-3), sidelined from May 13-27 with tendinitis in his left shoulder, showed rust in the first inning before he settled down to pitch five good innings.

Ricky Bones (4-8) surrendered two runs on seven hits in 7 1-3 in nings in beating Texas for the fourth straight time. Since 1994, he has given up just four earned runs in 29 1-3 innings against the Rangers for an ERA of 1.23. Gross allowed the Brewers’ first five bat ters to score in his return from the 15- day disabled list from a tom annular ligament in his lower back. Dave Nilsson’s bases-loaded double made it 2-0. John Jaha fol lowed with an RBI single and right fielder Juan Gonzalez over ran the ball for an error, allowing another run to score before David Hulse’s RBI single made it 5-0. Gonzalez’s eighth homer, fol lowing Will Clark’s leadoff double, brought Texas to 5-2 in the fourth. Gross was replaced by Dennis Cook after Jeff Cirillo led off the seventh with a double, and Nilsson’s sacrifice fly made it 6-2. Gross gave up five earned runs on seven hits in six-plus innings. Winds of change gust through softball program Brock stepped down after 15 years as coach By Ross Hecox The Battalion It turned out to be an eventful season for the Aggie Softball Team. The beginning of the spring saw the dawning of a new era, and the arrival of summer saw the end of an other one. Eleven days after the Ag gies ended their inaugural season in the Big 12 Confer ence, their head coach of 15 years decided to step down. Citing his weariness of coaching and a desire to run softball clinics and camps. Bob Brock announced his resigna tion from A&M on May 29th. “It’s bad to see Coach Brock leave,” junior first baseman Mya Truelove said. “Everyone played well for him.” Junior centerfielder Gina Perez said Brock was very open with the team. “He tried to relay every thing he knew to his players,” Perez said. Amassing a 688-255 record at A&M following a two year stint at Baylor, Brock leaves as one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history. Among 10 NCAA postseason appearances — five of them in the College World Series — Brock guided the Lady Aggies to two NCAA national titles and an AIAW national cham pionship. Although A&M failed to make much noise in the 1996 postseason, its historic first year in the Big 12 was a suc cess. After posting a disap- Brock pointing 29-27 record in 1995, the Aggies improved consider ably, finishing the season with a respectable 39-21 record. Anxious to build mo mentum early, the Lady Ag gies won 15 of their first 17 games en route to a 28-10 non-confer- record 5&1II enCe S&s for the sea- gass son. A&M’s 11-11 confer ence record was less than gleaming, however. In part. Brock attrib uted his team’s strug gles in the Big 12 to its strong competi tion. All but two teams in the conference were nationally ranked at some time during the season. However, Brock said the thrill of playing in the new conference helped A&M over all after its subpar finish the year before. “We were excited about be ing in the Big 12 Conference,” Brock said. “I think its com petition is what helped us.” A&M’s turnaround season did not go unrewarded. Its admirable record in the com petitive Big 12 led to an at- large berth to the 32-team NCAA Championship field. The Lady Aggies were swept from the double elimi nation bracket in Fresno, Calif., however, dropping games to Fresno State 5-2 and Long Beach State 4-1. “Going to regionals was re ally kind of a surprise,” Tru elove said. “Overall, every thing worked out real well. We came together as a team.” The Aggies were led by the outstanding play of junior shortstop Kendall Richards and senior pitcher Erin Field. Field earned a victory in 23 of the team’s 39 wins, posting a 1.36 earned run average and finish ing second on the team with a .358 batting average. For her efforts. Field was named to the All-Big 12 first team as a pitcher and to the All-America third team as a utility player. Richards’ .454 batting aver age and 58 runs batted in not only set all-time records at A&M, but also earned her first team All-America honors at the at-large shortstop position. “Everything about [Richards] made us a better team,” Tru elove said. “She made us step up offensively.” Brock also commended the efforts of junior Gina Perez (.264 avg., 38 runs scored), who moved from centerfield to third base, and freshman second baseman Jessi Cady. Freshman third baseman Kami Tucker also made valu able contributions along with Truelove, who hit .304 with 26 runs batted in. With nine starters returning next spring from a solid outfit, the foundation is set for a new era of A&M Softball in the Big 12. The Lady Aggies are now left to ponder who will take over the reins and lead them forward. la * ^ , ^ .
