Ohio State on Sunday. Ohio State rallied to win 8-7 over the Aggies.
BY DOUG SHILLING
The Battalion
The Texas A&M baseball team end
ed the second day of competition at the
Texas A&M Continental Express Base
ball Classic in third place after the Ohio
State University Buckeyes posted an 8-
7, come-from-behind win over the Ag
gies last night at Olsen Field.
The loss drops the Aggies’ record to 13-
14 on the year, and 1 -3 in the tournament.
Ohio State improves to 12-4 and is
tied for first in the tournament with a 3-
1 record.
“It was a rough day,” A&M baseball
coach Mark Johnson said. “We didn’t hit
the ball well. It was a hard game to get
started on. They weren’t throwing a lot
of strikes. They gave us a lot of opportu
nities to break the game open but we did
n’t get it done.”
Ohio State lit up the scoreboard right
offthe bat, taking a 1 -0 lead in the top of
the first on a sacrifice fly by right fielder
Jason Turner.
A&M answered back in the bottom
of the inning, capitalizing on the wild
ness of Buckeyes starting pitcher Nate
Smith.
Smith loaded the bases on walks to
junior catcher Jason Gremminger and
junior first baseman Jeff Freeman and
by hitting freshman designated hitter
Travis Wong.
Gremminger scored on an error by
Ohio State third baseman John Mayor to
even the score at one.
After the Buckeyes took a 2-1 lead in
the top of the second inning, the Aggies
once again used Smith’s wildness to take
the lead.
Smith walked the bases loaded, then
allowed senior second baseman Sean
Heaney to score when he unleashed a
wild pitch to knot the game up at two.
The Aggies then took the lead on a
sacrifice fly by Freeman for a 3-2 lead.
A&M padded its lead in the fourth in
ning when junior right fielder Daylan
Holt smashed a two-run home run off’the
scoreboard for a 5-2 lead.
OSU answered right back the next in
ning, scoring three runs in the top of the
fifth, keyed by back-to-back home runs
by second baseman Chad Ehmsberger
and Turner, to tie the game up at five.
The Aggies would not quit as they
scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth
to bounce back and once again take the
lead, 7-5.
Sophomore right fielder Carlos
Sepulveda scored on a bases-loaded
walk to sophomore pinch hitter Greg
Porter and sophomore shortstop Ryan
Wardinsky crossed the plate on a ground
out by junior pitcher/third baseman Chris
Russ to move ahead.
It was not meant to be for the Aggies
however, as the Buckeyes scored two
runs in the sixth and one in the seventh
to take the game from the Aggies.
Johnson said the Aggies could never
put any space between themselves and
Ohio State.
“We took the lead and they came
right back,” Johnson said. “That happens
when things aren’t going good. You just
can’t get momentum and get over the
hump.”
Russ took the loss for the Aggies.
Russ (0-2) pitched three innings in relief
of sophomore pitcher Khalid Ballduii
and gave up three runs on four hits.
Buckeyes pitcher Cory Cox picked
up the win for Ohio State. Cox (2-0)
pitched three innings and allowed no
runs and gave up only one hit.

State University Beavers at 5 p.m. and
the Buckeyes once again at 8 p.m. at

How does a $7 fee increase benefit TAMU students?
Students will be voting Mar. 29 & 30 on whether to
increase the Recreational Sports Fee. The Department of
Recreational Sports and Student Government leaders have
recommended a net $7 increase. The increase will pre
serve what Aggies have now. Specifically, the Rec Center
and Department of Recreational Sports programs will be
maintained and operated in the same high quality and
accessible manner that they are today. The Department
will be able to replace old equipment and keep it in good
working order. The Rec Center will continue to be open
from early morning to late evening, and will be able to
continue to offer the programs and services students have
come to expect and enjoy. A vote of "yes" will ensure that
future Aggies have the same opportunity to recreate,
socialize and be exposed to a healthy lifestyle in well-
maintained and beautiful surroundings.
