O Page 18 • Tuesday, May 4, 1999 First round tough for Ags STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS The Big 12 Tennis Championships at the A&M Var sity Tennis Center turned into an all-Longhorn affair Sunday as the University of Texas Men’s and Women’s Tennis Teams captured the tournament’s titles, with UT’s men shutting out Baylor, 4-0, and its women knocking off Oklahoma, 5-1. The Longhorn teams, both ranked No. 7, dominat ed the tournament, rarely dropping singles or doubles points to their opponents. It was a disappointing showing for the host teams as A&M’s men and women both fell in their first matches. On Friday, the A&M men fell 4-3 to Kansas, who the Aggies had soundly defeated in Lawrence, Kan., earlier in April. The Jayhawk’s upset of the Aggies was even more surprising considering KU’s No. 2 player, Kenny Pow ell, did not play. “I have to give Kansas credit,” A&M coach Tim Cass said. “They fought hard and played well even with ad versity. ” The Aggies won the doubles point against KU, but could only come up with singles victories at the No. 1 and No. 3 spots from sophomores Shuon Mad den and Cody Hubbell, respectively. a&M had nu merous match points in the No. 4 and No. 6 match es that would have clinched the dual match for the Aggies. On the women’s side of the bracket, the Aggies fell 5-4 on Friday to Baylor, who the Aggies had defeated in the regular season.

BY BEN WESTBROOK The Battalion The 18th-ranked Texas A&M Softball Team took split weekend doubleheaders against Baylor Uni versity and Texas Tech University to finish the regu lar season with a 39-18 overall record, 7-12 in the Big 12 Confer ence. Freshman Lisa Klam did her best to make Big 12 pitchers dread vining the next three years by smacking her 13th, 14th and 15th home runs this season. The utility player finished the reg ular season leading the team in runs (33), hits (60) and home runs (15) while handling fielding duties at second and third base and as catcher. Amy Vining’s Big 12 problems continued Saturday as the Aggies blew another strong performance by the sophomore. The righthander dropped to 2-9 in the Big 12 as the Aggie bats failed to capitalize on her one-hit, one unearned run complete game. This is the fifth one-run deci sion Vining has dropped this sea son. After losing the first game to Baylor, 1-0, the Aggies used Klam’s first home run of the weekend to hand the Bears a 6-2 loss, their ninth Big 12 defeat. Sophomore Jordana Barrack picked up the win after giving up just seven hits in the complete-game showing to move to 14-3 on the year. Sunday, the Aggies headed to Lubbock in an attempt to wrestle a pair from the Red Raiders. Be hind the strength of Klam’s two- home run performance, the Ag gies managed to take the first game by the score of 5-1. Vining’s Big 12 luck took a turn for the bet ter in the game, holding the Raiders to just three hits and one earned run while recording five strikeouts in the complete-game win. The Aggies’ luck with the long ball would turn on them in the sec ond game as Tech’s third baseman managed to break a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning with a solo shot off of junior reliever Danielle Lemuth to get the one-run victory. Klam and Vining led the way for the Aggies in the game, driving in the Aggies’ only two runs. Barrack put together a solid out ing, giving up seven hits in four in nings of work. Lemuth gave up three hits in relief, including the fifth-inning homer. The team will take a breather before traveling to to the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the Big 12 Tournament May 12-15.
