Texas A&M Baseball Team
face Southwest Texas at hoC
Aggies take break from Big 12 schedule for doublehd
By Travis Harsch
Staff writer
The Texas A&M Baseball Team
will take a break from conference
play as the team continues its
homestand Tuesday with a dou
bleheader against the Southwest
Texas State Bobcats.
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-

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.

“We use wood bats in the fall
because it forces our kids to use
their hands more,” Harp said. “The
aluminum bats are too light and
(the players) sometimes form bad
habits that they can’t get away with
using a wood bat.”
There are alternatives to the
current product now in use by col
legiate players that could be
adopted by the NCAA. 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. Hovveil
