A&M (31-11, 7-8 Big 12) still has two top-15 teams remaining on its schedule, including top-ranked University of Texas. UTA is unranked in the baseball polls, but has shown it can handle Big 12 powerhouse teams such as No. 13 University of Oklahoma and Baylor University. “I think it’s good we’re playing a team of this caliber heading into the stretch,” said A&M senior outfielder Cory Patton. “The better somebody you’re playing is, the better it helps you become.” The Battalion IN PRINT • ONLINE • ON RADIO News Sports Opinion Mailcall Aggielife Photo/Graphics Comics A.R News Classifieds www.thebatt.com Basically, we need to get it together.

A&M will travel Texas, to face the University of Texas Arlington Tuesday. — Mark Johnson Texas A&M baseball head coach A&M is coming off a week end series loss to the Sooners, winning Friday’s game and then dropping Saturday and Sunday’s matchups. The Aggies were able to keep up with the Sooners in the two losses, but eventually lost the games on defensive mistakes or mistakes on the base paths. “Basically we need to get it together.” said A&M head coach Mark Johnson. "We don’t have time to sit down and whimper at all. We have to gel up and face what’s ahead of us.” The Mavericks are also com ing off a weekend series loss to Lamar University, losing two of three games. In both of the loss es, the score was tied heading into the final inning of play, with Lamar capitalizing on key mistakes by UTA. “We’ve been stranding a lot of base runners lately and we’ve lost a lot of those games because of it.” said UTA head coach Jeff Curtis. “The key to winning Tuesday is going to be a good pitching performance - someone who can keep us in the game.” That someone will be junior pitcher Grant Vamell, who takes a 3-3 record and a 5.56 earned run average to the mound. After using six pitchers in the three-game series, Curtis said he has big expectations for Vamell. “We’re going to need him to go deep in the ballgame for us because our bullpen is a little depleted." Curtis said. A&M’s pitching staff has also been worn thin after the weekend, sending 10 pitchers to the mound. In a surprising move, the Aggies will send starting outfielder Patton to the hill in his first pitching start for the Aggies to try and gives of the regular pitchers won’t be Patton’s firsii® the mound, however, is went 8-1 in 10 starts Seward Community Cote the 2002 season. i The Aggies will be r;| senior Erik Schindewolfwl the team's regular second a man. leadoff hitter and I captain.
