Southwest Texas State is com ing off a successful 1997 season, one in which they won the South land Conference and beat both Clemson and Texas Tech in the NCAA regional before falling to College World Series-bound Rice. The Bobcats’ fortune hasn’t car ried over to this year however, as they come into College Station owning a 9-10 record. Southwest Texas State split with Notre Dame last weekend and lost, 3-2, to Southern Illinois. The Bobcats did beat Rice, however, and Coach Mark Johnson said that gives the Aggies reason to be wary. “They always play well, they’re always a well-coached team and we’ve had trouble with them,” Johnson said. A&M will be coming off a week end series win over the Missouri Tigers. The Aggies sandwiched 9-2 and 4-3 wins on Friday and Sunday around a 6-3 Saturday loss. In their last three midweek games, the Aggies have gone 1-2, losing to Sam Hous ton State 10-7, Michigan 6-8, then coming back to pound the Wolver ines 12-0. Sean Heaney said the team had some trouble focusing for those games, something that he does not think will be a problem this weekend. “The past two weeks when we’ve had the weekday games, we haven’t really come out fully ready to play,” Heaney said. “This week we’re going to come out ready to play, especial ly with the doubleheader, we plan on taking two of them. These TXies- Furtick Continued from Page 9 Jim Harp, baseball coach at Dallas Baptist University, said the aluminum bat has tipped the scales in favor of offense. “I feel like the offense is domi nating the game right now,” Harp said. “In the past, pitching and de fense were more important. I’d like to see something done to put pitching and defense back on a level field with offense.” Harp says he uses a composite bat (a wood bat with a plastic shell) during fall baseball not only to help his players with the adjust ment they would have to make at the professional level, but also be cause he feels it teaches the proper hitting techniques. ) ru Senior Ryan Rupe has helped the Aggie pitchin, day games are big too.” A&M.

Johnson says the most realistic one is to re form the current aluminum bat back to a product with qualities similar to the wood bat. “Manufacturers can make a bat comparable to the wood bat,” Johnson said. "So we could have a bat that wouldn’t break, we could use it all year long and it would re spond like a wood bat does.” Through a rule change, the NCAA could force bat companies to make such a bat.
