woodbroo* condole Cardinals will definitely be
including utilities- ssst .y l q pi a y as t hey bring their
— : 21-8 record to Olsen Field,
veiiowhousecondos vg with the momentum of a se
ries win against Southwest Texas
State University. Lamar has been a
formidable squad this year as they
have already knocked off Rice Uni
versity then No. 1 ranked.
The Cardinals will hurl in junior
pitcher Brian Castillo, who holds a
perfect record at 3-0. It will try to
be a sweet homecoming for Castil
lo as the College Station native will
try and shut down some of the
heavy lumber the Aggies have pro
duced all season.
Leading the way once again for
the Aggies is senior John
Scheschuk. The first baseman has
been belting opposing pitchers in
lieu of his outstanding .400 batting
average. Hitting just in front of
Scheschuk has been sophomore
Daylon Holt and his team leading
12 long balls. The season is not
even half over and the All-Ameri
can has already knocked in 45 runs
and rounded 95 total bases.
“Our hitting has been increas
ing in production with each game
we play,” junior third baseman Dell
Lindsey said, “It gives our pitchers
more room to work with when
they’re out there.”
Tossing for the Aggies will be a
new face in junior Derrick Adams.
The right-hander has yet to see
any game action in his career at
A&M until now. “D.A.,” as his
teammates refer to him, has been
the Jack Hailey of A&M Baseball.
The last two years, Adams has
been the recipient of the Marion
Pugh Spirit Award. Although it
will be a first for Adams, he knows
that it will be a team effort to try
and get the win.
“You can never underestimate
or overlook a non-conference op
ponent,” he said. “Every victory is
important when regionals come
around.”
For the rest of the team, the feel
ing is mutual, and they will try and
let their actions speak.
“Lamar is a good team,” second
baseman Sean Heaney said. The ju
nior, who just earned All-Tourna
ment Honors, feels that they should
roll past the Cardinals.
“We plan on beating them and
then turn our heads to Missouri for
a strong weekend finish,” he said.
