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.

The Aggies were victorious in two of six si
matches, meaning they had to win all three do
matches to win the match. Baylor put the Aggies
quick winning at No. 2 doubles, 8-3,
“Baylor played well from the start,’’ A&M<
Bobby Kleinecke said. “They did not makeenou;
rors for us to take advantage of.”

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
