Aggies hit road for weekend
By Kevin Espenlaub
THE BATTALION
STUART VILLANUEVA • THE BATTALION
A&M senior Jarin Skube goes for a volley during the Aggies’ match against the Pepperdine Waves
last Friday at the Varsity Tennis Center.
The Texas A&M men’s tennis team will
resume its defense of the Big 12 title this
weekend with road matchups against Texas
Tech University and the University of
Colorado beginning Friday at 2 p.m in
Lubbock.
The No. 12 Aggies (14-3, 1-0) have won
nine of their last 10 matches and the only
loss came at the hands of then-No. 11
Pepperdine University on Saturday at the
A&M Varsity Tennis Center, 4-3.
In the matchup, A&M freshman Ante
Matijevic performed in dominating fashion
with victories in his singles and doubles
matches against the talented Wave team.
“Ante has really played great lately,”
said A&M head coach Tim Cass. “He’s
been able to do some great things for us
both on the court and off and really has
played a quiet leader role on this team even
as a freshman.”
Matijevic and the team will try to
improve on their overall record of 29-3
against the Red Raiders and win their sev
enth in a row against Tech (10-7, 1-2).
The match opens a string of four con
secutive road matches for the Aggies
against Big 12 opponents before returning
home for the final two matches of the sea
son against Oklahoma State and Baylor.
“We divide each season into several sec
tions,” Cass said. “We are finished now
with our non-conference schedule and we
start a tough series of matches with four on
the road. I think it is really going to pose a
challenge for us to come away with wins in
some tough places to play, but I think we
are playing well now and this stretch is
coming at the right time.”
The Colorado (10-7, 0-2) matchup
will be on Sunday afternoon in Boulder,
and the Buffaloes will host the Aggies
only a day after they are set to host the
No. 8 University of Texas. Their last
matchup was an upset of No. 38 Miami
last weekend.
The Aggies, who dropped from the top
10 in the nation earlier this week, will try
regain the Big 12 title on the backs of sev
eral nationally-ranked singles players.
Junior Ryan Newport leads the team and
is ranked No. 34, followed by senior Jarin
Skube at No. 97, No. 104 freshman Lester
Cook and No. 1 14 Matijevic.
The doubles duo of Newport and Cook
rose to the No. 12 team in the nation fol
lowing the Pepperdine match.
“Matches like the Pepperdine one
should really help us with the rest of the
Big 12 coming up,” Newport said.
“Especially the younger guys learned a lot
from playing a tough opponent like them
and keeping ourselves in the match. We are
going to have to keep playing as hard as we
can to repeat as champions.”
Rangers prepare for home opener
Gonzalez returns to Texas, Valdes makes Rangers pitching debut
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
— Juan Gonzalez is coming
•home and a third starting pitcher
will make his Texas debut
Friday.
Still, some things haven’t
changed for the Rangers. When
they play their home opener,
they will still be in last place in
the AL West, where they have
spent most of the past two sea
sons.
OK, it is less than a week into
the new season, and Texas is
coming off a 7-5 victory
Thursday at Oakland after losing
its first three games. But the
Rangers have showed that despite
the revamped pitching staff, they
still have not solved their main
problem: poor pitching.
Ishmael Valdes, whose best
season was 15-7 for Los
Angeles in 1996 when he was
22, gets his turn when he
makes his starting debut for
Texas in Friday’s home opener
against Anaheim. He was 9-13
with a 4.45 ERA for the
Angels last season.
The home opener will also
mark the return of Gonzalez,
who was the two-time AL MVP
while with the Rangers from
1989-99. But he was traded after
the 1999 season — after Texas
won its third AL West title in
four years.
New Rangers general manag
er John Hart, who had Gonzalez
in Cleveland last year, brought
the slugger back to Texas — the
team that originally signed him
when he was just 16 — with a
$24 million, two-year contract.
All-Star shortstop Alex
Rodriguez, who hit .318 with an
AL-leading 52 homers and 135
RBIs last season in the first year
of his record $252 million con
tract, went hitless in the first
three games for the first time in
his career. He went l-for-2
Thursday, after getting hit twice
by pitches.
When Rodriguez was plunked
by Cory Lidle for the second time
to lead off the sixth inning, he
stared angrily and cursed at the
right-hander. The benches emp
tied, but no scuffles ensued and
there were no ejections.
In addition to bringing
Gonazlez home, Hart signed 16
new pitchers and brought 34 to
camp.
Chan Ho Park, the prize
pitcher in the offseason free-
agent pool who signed a $65
million, five-year contract, and
Dave Burba made their first
Texas starts in the series against
Oakland.
Park gave up six runs on five
hits over five innings in an 8-3
loss in the season opener
Monday. He was placed on the
disabled list Thursday because
of a strained right hamstring and
will miss his first two scheduled
starts at The Ballpark in
Arlington.
Burba had six strikeouts in
his start Wednesday, but also
walked four and gave up four
runs in five innings.
After Burba left, the Rangers
came back with five runs in the
seventh to take a 6-4 lead. But
the bullpen blew that game, with
Oakland taking advantage of six
walks — three each from new
relievers Rudy Seanez and Rich
Rodriguez — to score five times
in their final two at-bats.
A night earlier, newcomer
Dan Miceli gave up the game
winning homer to Carlos Pena to
start the ninth. Pena was a top
prospect the Rangers traded to
Oakland during the offseason.
Even in the win Thursday,
closer John Rocker took over
with a 7-2 lead and gave up
three runs before finally closing
out the game.
The three-game series against
Anaheim starts a 10-game
homestand in which the Rangers
will play all three of their AL
West rivals. After the Angels,
Oakland and Seattle come to
Texas.
The last time the Rangers
opened the season with a road
series was 1994, the year The
Ballpark in Arlington opened.
They started on the road
two other times, but those
were single games in Puerto
Rico against Toronto last year
and at New York in 1995 after
a strike delayed the start of the
season.
Berkman’s homer propels Astros to victory
HOUSTON (AP) — Lance Berkman
insists there is no agreement between him
and Houston Astros owner Drayton
McLane.
But Berkman keeps hitting home runs,
just in case.
Berkman tied a club record for homers at
the start of a season with his third in three
days, leading the Astros over the Milwaukee
Brewers 6-3 Thursday.
Berkman has connected in all three of the
Astros’ games, repeating what Chris Truby
did last year.
“Each game, (McLane) has said if I don’t
hit a home run I have to get my hair cut,”
Berkman said. “He thinks we have a deal,
but I never agreed to it.”
Berkman, who has let his shaggy hair
grow down over his neck in back, did not
place much emphasis on the club record. He
was surprised to learn the major league
record for home runs at the start of the sea
son is four straight games, shared by Willie
Mays (1971) and Mark McGwire (1998).
“You don’t really think about a record
like that,” Berkman said. “All it means is I
had three home runs in three games and we
have 159 games to go. If this is all I do, it
will be a terrible year.
“I won’t be thinking about the major
league record tomorrow, but it would be
neat to tie, I guess.”
It wouldn’t suiprise the Astros.
“I call him Cave Man because of the long
hair and he’s big and strong,” winning pitch
er Shane Reynolds said.
“He is such a great hitter.
He could wake up and
step out of bed and get a
hit. He works at the game,
but he absolutely loves it
and he’s a great hitter.”
Manager Jimy
Williams likes what he
sees in Berkman. BERKMAN
“He’s really swinging
the bat well,” Williams said. “He’s driving
the ball and hitting with power. And hitting
with men on base. He’s just a very good hit
ter.”
The Brewers are aware of Berkman, who
drove in three runs as he went 2-for-4 to
raise his average to .462.
“He should have been a lot more care
ful,” manager Davey Lopes said of pitcher
Jamey Wright, tagged for Berkinan’s homer
in the fourth inning. “At 3-1, you can’t give
that guy something to hit. You’ve got to
make him chase a pitch up in the zone or in
the dirt.
“You can’t throw him a strike there. It’s
not embarrassing to pitch around the guy,”
he said.
Wright realizes that now.
“I made a good 3-0 pitch to him,” Wright
said. “I thought I made the right pitch on the
changeup and left, it up. You make a pitch
like that, he’s not going to miss it.”
The game at Astros Field drew 21,528,
the smallest crowd in three seasons at the
park formerly called Enron Field. That
broke the mark set Wednesday night when
23,381 fans showed up.
Reynolds (1-0) allowed two runs on
seven hits in six innings.
Wright (0-1) went 4 1-3 innings and
allowed four runs on seven hits and six
walks. Wright remained winless for his
career against the Astros. He is 0-6 with a
6.71 ERA in 10 starts against them.
Berkman’s RBI single started the scoring
in the first inning. His two-run homer in the
fourth gave Houston a 3-0 lead.
In the fifth, Morgan Ensberg singled and
went to third on two passed balls by catcher
Paul Bako. Reynolds’ squeeze bunt scored
Ensberg for a 4-0 lead.
