The winning run came on a botched squeeze attempt, when junior Erik Sobeck missed the ball. The runner on first took off for sec ond, distracting the Patriot catch er and allowing Leonard to score. “The guy threw a great curve ball, and Erik just wasn’t ready for it, he just missed it, but Steve end ed up coming on, the guy did miss him, but I was glad the umpire had the angle on it,” Texas A&M Coach Mark Johnson said. After DBU scored three in the top of the second, A&M had a hard time getting back in the lead. “We’d get back in the game and tie it up, and they’d come right back the next inning,” Johnson said. Sophomore Sean Heaney hit a three-run homer in the fifth to tie the game again, but the Patriots got two runs in the top of the sixth to take the lead back. In the bottom of the sixth, the Aggies scored three runs, including the steal of home, to take the lead. Senior Eric French worked a per fect seventh and earned his second save of the season. Johnson said French is emerging as the closer. “He was ready, and we’ve just got to keep putting him out there in those roles,” Johnson said. Not only were some individual performances big for the Aggies, but Johnson said the come-from- behind win will help the team lat er on in the year. “We’re going to have close games, we’re going to be behind, so any time you get behind, you don’t panic,” Johnson said. In the second game, sophomore Chance Caple set a career high with nine strikeouts and allowed only one run in seven innings of work as A&M took the second game from DBU, 5-1 and ran their season record to a perfect 9-0. “It feels really good to get an other win, to go out and have a good seven innings,” Caple said. A&M played solid defense behind Caple, only committing one error, and boosting Caple's confidence. “Confidence is a huge thing, es pecially with a pitcher,” Caple said.

Texas A&M won the games 1M| “When you have confidence behind you in the defense, every little bit helps. When you feel like you have your stuff, your confidence goes up with every pitch you make.” Caple allowed just six baserun- ners, but said he needed the work he got with runners on base. “I didn’t spend a lot of time in the stretch, but when I did, that’s a big thing I need to work on, because that’s when you need to matt: | r . b most crucial pitches," Caplti| “They did a good job ofhlttia ball, but the defense did a got# of keeping them off-balance.lt just concentrate on throwings and putting the ball in play."
