A&M tries for revenge versus UTSA
BY AARON COHAN
The Battalion
It will be another Tuesday night Fight at
Olsen Field when the Texas A&M Baseball Team
faces the University of Texas-San Antonio Road-
runners. A&M comes into the game with a sev
en-game win streak and a sweep of conference
foe Kansas State University on the road this past
weekend.
The fifth-ranked Aggies, who remain in the
No. 2 slot in the Big 12 Conference behind Bay
lor University, improved to an overall record of
32-8 with the weekend sweep.
A&M coach Mark Johnson said his players
did what it took to win against the Wildcats.
“The guys responded well, and everyone
performed extremely well this weekend,” he
said.
The Aggie pitchers dominated over the
weekend. Junior Casey Possum threw a
shutout to earn Big 12 Player of the Week. Ju
nior Chance Caple gave up only three runs in
his complete game, and for the third straight
week, senior Matt Ward helped give the Ag
gies a win.
“Matt has come on strong for us lately,”
Johnson said. “He got two rocky starts at the
beginning of the season, but he kept working
hard, and it has paid off for us.”
Revenge will be on the Aggies’ minds when
they look to tonight’s game with the Roadrun-
ners. A&M lost a hard-fought game in San An
tonio the last time it took on UTSA in which the
Ags scored five runs in the ninth inning but also
yielded three to UTSA to give the Roadrunners
the win.
“We have got big-time payback to put
against those guys,” junior Dell Lindsey said.
Lindsey, second on the team with a .368 bat
ting average, said the team cannot afford to look
ahead to the series with Baylor this weekend.
“We’ve been talking about Baylor and the se
ries with them for the longest time,” he said.
“But we know we have to concentrate on beat
ing UTSA first before we take on the Bears.”
Pitching for the Aggies will be sophomore
Chris Scarcella. The right-hander holds a 7.50
ERA and has a 2-0 overall record this season.
Adding some of the most potent offense in
the nation will be senior team captain John
Scheschuk and sophomore Daylon Holt.
Scheschuk broke out of a mini-slump this week
end against the Wildcats, going 5 for 10 from
the plate, including four doubles, to put his .387
batting average atop the team standings. The
right fielder hit two more home runs this week
end to hold on to his team highs in homers (18)
and RBIs (62).
A&M will get three days of rest before head
ing into a three-game series with the Bears. Sat
urday and Sunday’s games will be played at
Olsen Field.

Longhorn’s but still have several
crucial matches left in the season.
“We haven’t really had a chance
to show what we can do in confer
ence,” Dingwall said, “and this will
be an opportunity to prove our
selves.”
Texas A&M will look to the No. 1
singles player Martina Nedorostova
in addition to Monica San Miguel and
Lisa Dingwall to be strong contenders
in the match but will need top games
from all their players to break through
against the Longhorns.
The power freshman Nedorosto
va is currently ranked 58th nation
ally with a 20-8 record and is cur
rently undefeated in Big 12 play.
BY TRAVIS HARSCH
The Battalion
A&M senior Ryan Palmer con
tinued his streak of top-ten finish
es this weekend, placing in a five
way tie for eighth
at the MacGregor
Downs/BellSouth
Intercollegiate in
Cary, N.C.
The finish was
the fourth con
secutive top-ten
placing for
Palmer, who was
third in the Bor
der Olympics and
took home second place in the
Morris Williams/Cleveland Golf
Invitational.
Palmer followed up an opening
round 73 on the par 72 course
with a 71 and a 74 for a 54 hole to
tal of 218, which tied him with
golfers from UNLV, Kansas, North
Carolina and East Tennessee
State. Wil Collins of New Mexico
won the individual title with a
two-under par 212, and UNLV
took home the team title with a
three-round total of 869. UNLV
had some tight competition for
the trophy, however, as four oth
er teams finished within eight
shots of the Rebels’ score.
The win marked the second
year in a row UNLV captured the
title. In 1998, A&M finished sixth,
15 shots back of the Rebels, be
hind top 25 placings from Miguel
del Angel, Ryan Tull, Palmer and
Ty Cox.
The Aggies struggled against one
of the most competitive fields they
have faced this year, with seven
teams ranked in the top 25. The Ag
gies posted a three-round score of
313-303-307 = 922 to finish in twelfth
place.
The tournament was the last for
the Aggies before they compete in
the Big 12 Championships April 25
to 27 in Hutchinson, Kan.
