After a weekend sweep of Iowa
late University, in which all three
,&M starters went the distance, the
Texas A&M Baseball Team (27-14,
10-8) will look to get the bullpen
ome exposure against Southwest
exas State University (22-16) at
Olsen Field tonight at 7.
Head Coach Mark Johnson said
by time a starter can throw nine in-
[ tings it is a bonus.
“It’s good to get complete
;ames,” Johnson said. “I like to see
litchers who can go complete
James, stick it out and keep us in
fie ball game. It’s a plus.”
A&M is 1-1 in the season series
vith Southwest Texas. The Aggies
ostto the Bobcats 4-3 in the first
ame of a doubleheader to open
e season Feb. 3. Freshman
litcher Casey Possum took the
oss, surrendering four runs
firough five innings.
Johnson said the Aggies must
ie careful not to overlook South-
vest Texas in anticipation of the
veekend series against the Uni-
ersity of Nebraska.
“They beat us the opening game
(<* if the season,” Johnson said.
They’ve got a good ballclub. Tues-
lay games get dangerous this time
ifyear because we’re gearing up for
he weekend series. Sometimes
ve’re not quite as ready.
"You wish it wouldn’t happen
’ sel: |tfiat way, but when you play 56 ball-
;ames it’s a little bit tougher. Our
guys do have a lot of respect for
them (Southwest Texas) because
they did beat us one game.”
The loss to the Bobcats came be
fore the Aggies established team
chemistry and got on a roll. After
sweeping the Cyclones this past
weekend, A&M has won 11 of 13
and seven straight. Winning its last
three series against conference
foes, A&M has climbed in the
standings and is tied for fifth place
with Baylor University.
Johnson said the team’s recent suc
cess has been a confidence booster.
“We hadn’t swept anybody all
year,” Johnson said. ‘Any time you
get a sweep you have to feel that
you’ve really gained some
ground. We are really pleased
with it.”
The Aggies plan to test several
arms out of the bullpen. Freshman
righthander Chris Fulbright (1-0,
3.21 ERA) will receive the starting
nod. Johnson said senior southpaw
John Codrington and several other
pitchers will see action.
The plethora of pitchers that
will take to the mound will have to
defend against the explosive Bob
cat bats. Junior catcher Chad
Spear leads the squad with 11 dou
bles, eight home runs and 37 RBIs.
Senior designated hitter Matt
Schnabel boasts the team’s highest
batting average at .346.
Southwest Texas will put junior
righthander Jeremy Fikac (0-1,12.00
ERA) on the mound. In limited ac
tion this season, Fikac has allowed
four runs through 2-1/3 innings.

This little known method of birth control is used after unprotected
sex - or when a diaphragm slips or a condom breaks. Within 72 hours after
unprotected sex, a woman takes a specific dose of birth control pills or has
an IUD inserted, as directed by a doctor. This prevents pregnancy - safely
and effectively.
Emergency contraception is not abortion. It gives a woman a
second chance to prevent pregnancy. And, it has an FDA advisory
panel’s stcimp of approval.
Fewer unplanned pregnancies will mean fewer abortions.

“I played for junior tennis two
fears before college but nothing
ompares to college play,” Dees
*aid. “There are definitely better
layers in college.”
While the competition has stiff-
ned for Dees, A&M Head Coach
lobby Kleinecke said Dees can hold
lerown.
“She has improved a lot since the
all,” Kleinecke said. “She was kind
)fa fish out of water but she is a tal
ented player. She could play with
lany of the men’s teams.”
Kleinecke said his decision to
5tTf)air Dees and Scott was somewhat
ased on their previous play to-
;ether. But he said the two are be-
s^lginning to gel and become a suc-
. OfliN
cessful doubles team.
“They have had their ups and
downs,” Kleinecke said. “They have
good matches and other matches
where they are not so good. But they
have definitely made improvements.”
With doubles play under her
belt, Dees said she wants to break
into singles play.
“I want to start playing more sin
gles next year,” Dees said. “I have
become stronger and I just like be
ing able to play and compete.”
Kleinecke said he does not doubt
Dees will be anything but success
ful in her next three years on the
A&M campus.
“I feel the sky is the limit for
her,” Kleinecke said. “She needs to
just get out and do it. I’m hoping
her singles game will improve but
she has been a great contributor to
the team.”

Beahm’s long list of accom
plishments are
impressive, but
for the moment
she said her
main goal is to
beat the Univer
sity of Texas be
fore her tenure at
A&M is over.
“We have five
conference
matches left, and
one of our big
matches will be
Texas,” Beahm
said. “As a team I would love to win
that match because, in my four
years, we’ve never beaten Texas.”
Kleinecke said Beahm provides
balance to the team, both on and
off the court.
“From when she first came
[here], Julie has
taken more of a
leadership role,
and that’s
helped the
team,”
