No. 15 University of Texas took home a 1-0 win over the No. 18 Texas A&M Softball Team Friday at the Aggie Softball Complex thanks to a no-hitter by All-American pitch er Christa Williams. The loss drops the Aggies to 3-2 in Big 12 play and 31-9 overall. A&M pitcher Amy Vining did her best to keep the Aggies in the game after giving up a solo home run to senior All-American Nikki Cockrell in the first inning. Following Cock rell’s homer, Vining went on to al low just six hits and one walk for the game with one strikeout. The Aggies’ only scoring threats came in the first and seventh in nings, with both rallies dying with runners left on second base. In the first inning, Aggie second baseman Rachel Lewis drew a lead- off walk. Angie Long would advance Lewis to second with a sacrifice fly, but Williams retired the next two Ag gie batters to end the inning. A&M again threatened to score in the seventh when Longhorn third baseman Keely Franks committed an error, putting Aggie junior Jamie A&M junior Jamie Smith tries to evade the tag during the Texas A&M Softball Team's game, University of Texas Saturday at the Aggie Softball Complex.

In fielder Russ Johnson is going back to the Tfiple A New Orleans Zephyrs. Caminiti, who missed 10 games in Florida because of a sinus infection, was expected to join the Astros Sunday in New Orleans for their final exhibition against the Zephyrs. He is scheduled to join the team in Houston for Mon day’s workout in the Astrodome. The 35-year-old, who last played for the As tros in 1994 before being traded to San Diego, missed playing time because of flu-like symp toms, a turf toe and most recently the sinus in fection. He was limited to 28 at-bats during spring training. Meanwhile, Johnson, a third baseman, will head to New Orleans for a third straight season because the Astros have no more room on their roster.
