Wednesday's 11-1 vic tory over the University of Texas-San Antonio (15-13) could go a long way in doing that as Frame, along with jun ior Kyle Marlatt and sopho more Kevin Whelan, dominat ed the UTSA hitters. The Aggie hitters were equally impressive, with explo sions in the fourth and fifth innings that quickly put the game out of reach. The game, ironically, started as a pitching duel, as Frame and UTSA senior starter Lucas Stewart pitched well in the first several innings. Stewart allowed no runs on three hits in three innings before being pulled in favor of freshman Steven Vasquez to rest for this coming weekend. “We have a conference series with Beaumont this weekend, and we knew going into the f WAN vCOIMU • Texas A&M senior second baseman Erik Schindewolf bats in the second inning.
