Ig innings boost Aggies over Tarleton St., 9-4 By Jeff Webb Staff writer xas A&M pitcher Chance Caple tast- ctory for the first time in an Aggie irm Wednesday afternoon, and the h hitting of second baseman Sean icy helped out tremendously in the process. The Aggies de feated Tarleton State 9- 4 at Olsen Field where Heaney missed hitting for the cycle by a triple and nailed a line-drive home run over the right-field fence in the third inning to help the Aggies to a 4-0 record on the season. “I actually didn’t . it was gone,” Heaney said. “I didn’t I hit it that well. I guess I just got lucky t left the yard.” iple 1 tad minimal trouble with theTex- ineup, allowing five hits and three runs e innings of strong work. The lone of- ve bright spot for TSU was short stop 3ad|off hitter Victor Sauceda who went 4 wit h a home run and two RBI. Caple ohnson seemed a bit wild in the second inning when he walked a batter and then hit one “It feels good to go out and see the team do as well as they did and get your £rst win.” Chance Caple Texas A&M pitcher but regrouped by striking out two to end the inning. Run support allowed Caple to chal lenge hitters and he did, striking out three in his five innings. “It feels good to go out and see the team do as well as they did today and get your first win,” Caple said. “It makes me feel more confident going into my next game. It’s a lot better knowing that you have the defense playing so well behind you.” Texas A&M Coach Mark Johnson want ed to get his pitchers some work, and yes terday provided a good opportunity. “We wanted to get some pitchers out there,” Johnson said. “Chance hadn’t been out there yet, so it was a good start for him. Contrary to what people think, I don’t care if you’re in the big leagues, you’re always nervous when you get that first out. To get in there and pick up a ‘W’ is a big plus for him.” The Aggie defense did play well despite having their first error of the season. In the eighth inning, Courtney Weller was on in re lief and walked the bases loaded when Tar leton State designated hitter Brian Buffa- monte grounded into an inning-ending double play. Defense was not so spectacu lar for Tarleton State. The Texans had three errors and outfielder Jonny Hinojosa had problems with the sun in right field, losing two well-hit balls that led to Aggie runs. “The sun gets bad out there and I know how it feels, but the sun is on both teams,” Aggie left fielder Steven Truitt said. “We did a good job. We had a lot of fly balls, but it’s still early.” The Aggie bullpen closed out the game in style, allowing only one hit and one run in their four innings of work. The Aggies travel to Arlington this weekend for the Ar- lington Morning News I VTA Invitational. ■Hi |||||ggggjgggggg ii— Bil mHm Hi ■ * RYAN ROGERS/The Battalion Junior Craig Kuzmic steals second base in the Aggies’ win over Tarleton State yesterday.
