THE BATTALION
Monday, March6,5(
Aggies swept by fifth-ranked Bears
BY DOUG SHILLING
The Battalion
Monday, March 6,
Entering this weekend’s series
against the fifth-ranked Baylor Uni
versity Bears, the Texas A&M base
ball team knew it was up against steep
er competition than it has been facing.
The Aggies did not know how
steep the competition was, however.
The Bears defeated A&M 6-4 Sun
day to complete the three-game sweep
of the Aggies.
It was the first sweep in a confer
ence series of the Aggies since 1996
against Rice University, when A&M
was still in the Southwest Conference.
For Baylor, it was their first sweep
of A&M since 1991.
“It was a tough weekend,” A&M
baseball coach Mark Johnson said.
“When you get swept it’s always
tough. We haven’t been swept very of
ten. You certainly have to give Baylor
credit. I thought they played very well.
“We made some errors and didn’t
hit in key situations. I thought their
hits were legitimate in most cases.
They went the other way when they
had to and certainly they pitched
well.”
As it had in the rest of the series,
Baylor jumped on the Aggies first in
Sunday’s game.
Baylor designated hitter Ross Ben
nett stroked a two-run single in the
bottom of the second inning to give the
Bears a 2-0 lead.
A&M had an answer though, as
sophomore shortstop Ryan Wardinsky I*
launched a three-run home run over

the left center field wall to give the
Aggies a 3-2 lead, its first of the series.
The lead was short-lived however
as Baylor came back with one run in
the bottom of the fifth to tie the score
up at three.
A&M had a golden opportunity to
break the game open in the sixth in
ning when junior right fielder Daylan
Holt led off w ith a double and sopho
more left fielder Carlos Sepulveda fol
lowed with a single to give A&M run
ners on the comers with no one out.
A&M did not capitalize however,
as they left the runners stranded.
With the momentum in their comer,
Baylor seized the moment in the bot
tom of the sixth as Bennett once again
had a two-run single to put the Bears
up 5-3 and give them the lead for good.
Wardinsky said the Aggies
lems were due to the lack of perfom
ing in clutch situations.
“We didn’t play good baseball
the critical situations,” Wardinst
said. “You have to give Baylorcrd
because they came out and madepk)
in the big parts of the game. We 14 out of the top thr
the momentum, then they got itba|Iowa State Unis
on their side.”
