A&M falls to Mississippi State in regional
From staff and wire reports
The Texas A&M Baseball Team (46-20) fell one
game short of going to the College World Series in
Omaha when they fell to Mississippi State Univer
sity 11-5 in the championship game on Sunday,
May 24. The Aggies were hosting the Central Re
gional as the No. 2 seed for the first time since 1993,
the last time they made it to the World Series.
The Aggies started the tournament on a pos
itive note with a 17-0 thrashing of University of
North Carolina - Charlotte. Casey Possum threw
six innings of three-hit ball and Kyle Hollie threw
the final three innings for the save. A&M belted
out 20 hits, including three each from Jason Tyn
er and Steve Scarborough.
The Aggies followed up that victory with a 4-
3 win over MSU Saturday night. Ryan Rupe
gave up three early runs but settled down to
throw eight innings giving up nine hits and
three runs with four strikeouts. The Aggies
scored two in the fourth on Chad Hudson’s
home run and one run in the fifth and seventh.
In the rematch with the Bulldogs, the Aggies
fell 10-9 with Chris Russ
picking up the loss. The
Bulldogs jumped on A&M
early with three runs in the
first and added runs in the
second and third. The Ag
gies responded scoring
four runs in the first three
innings, but were never
able to catch them. MSU
put the game away in the
seventh, scoring four runs
to give them a 10-5 lead.
A&M scored two in the seventh and two
more in the ninth to close the gap, but couldn’t
push across the tying run.
On Sunday, in an elimination game, the Ag
gies defeated Washington 6-4 with Possum pick-
Tyner
ing up his second win of the tournament throw
ing six-and-a-third innings, giving up four runs
on six hits. Senior Eric French came in to throw
the final two-and-two-thirds innings for the save.
When Washington seemed to have the momen
tum, freshman Daylan Holt belted a two-run homer
in the fourth to tie the game. The Aggies added two
runs in the sixth and seventh innings to give them
the win and send them to the championship game.
The Aggies scored three runs early in the
game on a three-run home run by John
Scheschuk and added two more in the second
but MSU scored runs in five consecutive innings,
including five in the second, and shut the Aggies
down for the rest of the game to send the Bull
dogs to the World Series in the 11-5 victory.
Scott Sandusky, Possum, Scarborough and
French were named to the All-Region Team.
In the 11-5 loss, Tyner got his 107th hit of the
season, breaking a single-season A&M record
held by Chad Allen.

GROUPS
Summer 1998
What is Group Counseling and How can it Help?
Croup counseling involves about four to ten people meeting with one or two counselors serving as group lead
ers. Group leaders work to provide a safe, confidential environment where group members are free to discuss
their problems and concerns. Through the group, members identify with others who are experiencing similar
issues and increase their self-awareness by obtaining genuine and honest feedback from others.
How much you talk about yourself depends on what you are comfortable with. You can benefit from group
even when you are saying little because you will learn about yourself as others talk about their concerns. Make
an appointment at the SCS to speak to a screening counselor to help you determine if a group might benefit
you. If you have any questions or suggestions, call Laura Bettor at 845-4427 ext. 126.
