Outfielder J. B. Moss runs the
bases Sunday against Baylor.
BASEBALL CONTINUED
A&M didn’t record its first hit until
the fourth inning, but that didn’t stop
the Aggies from pushing across a run in
the first inning. After leading off with
a walk and then advancing to second
on a wild pitch, Blake Allemand came
around to score on an error by Baylor
second baseman Duncan Wendel, who
overthrew his shortstop on a grounder
by Nick Banks that should have ended
the inning.
Logan Taylor got the Aggies in the
hit column with a double off the end of
his bat down the right field line. Taylor
advanced to third on a Blake Kopetsky
ground out but was left stranded 90 feet
from home when Logan Nottebrok
flew out to deep left field.
Senior catcher Mitchell Nau, the
team leader in batting average, con
tinued his hot start to the season. After
Allemand and Ryne Birk both reached
with walks, Nau ripped a 1-0 pitch into
the left-center field gap for a two-run
double. Nau, a native of Spring, Texas,
played high school ball just 25 miles
down the road from Minute Maid Park
at Klein High School.
“I played here two years ago as a
freshman,” Nau said. “A bunch of my
family is here and I know a bunch of
people who grew up around here. It’s a
great environment to get to see every
body. I’m glad we went 3-0.”
After seven scoreless innings and just
78 pitches, Kent went back out to the
mound to start the eighth inning. After
back-to-back singles, Andrew Vinson
relieved him.
With runners on the corners, Vinson
caught Logan Brown off first base, but
Aggie first baseman Nottebrok made a
throw home to try and catch Hayden
Ross at home. Nottebrok’s throw was
late and Ross scored while Brown ad
vanced to second. Brown then went to
third on a wild pitch and scored on a
ground out to first.
With one out in the ninth, pinch-
runner Nick Chorby was thrown out
on a close call at second base. One pitch
later, Nick Banks ripped a two-out tri
ple but was stranded on third.
Sophomore Ryan Hendrix came in
to shut the door in the ninth inning.
Hendrix picked up his third save of the
season and gave A&M its best start since
1989 and its second 16-0 start in pro
gram history.
After starting the season winning the
most games in convincing fashion, four
of the Aggies last seven games have been
decided by two runs or less.
“We’re finding a way,” Childress said
of his team’s success in close games this
season. “We’re an older bunch. They
don’t panic when the games are tight
late. We did a little bit there in the sev
enth inning, but we got it back together
and we were able to finish.”
A&M returns to Blue Bell Park at Ol
sen Field at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to begin
a two-game series with UTPA.

MSC names new president
By Katy Stapp
MSC chief administration offi
cer Zach Rozinsky was selected
Saturday to lead the 1,300-strong
student programing arm for the uni
versity as MSC president.
Rozinsky will take office at the
first MSC board of directors meeting
after Muster on April 21.
Rozinsky was selected due to his
experience and his vision for the
MSC, said Ryan Trantham, residing
MSC president and biomedical sci
ences senior.
Trantham said the application
process for MSC president is unlike
the typical election process for other
campus leaders and is more extensive.
Trantham said the process includes an
application listing the goals of each
candidate, a presentation given by the
candidates and a 30-minute interview
with campus leaders, including the
current MSC president and the stu
dent body president.
“During the deliberation process,
we talk about strengths and weak
nesses that each candidate possesses,
as well as their history, leadership,
and their references,” Trantham said.
“We try to reach as much of a con
sensus as possible.”
Rozinsky said he initially didn’t

hundreds of people contacting

met me just outside of the Rec
and said, "I want to come to
Camp Brisket," so I looked at
Google Analytics and saw that
our most requested page was
the one for Camp Brisket. The
funny problem is, the more you
do to celebrate it, the more
demand it creates.
THE BATTALION: How has
the meat industry changed
over the years you've been
involved?
SAVELL: I think the biggest
thing I've seen is the change in
the number of plants or working
establishments. There are fewer
today, and the one's that are left
are bigger. When I was in grad
school, or even during my under
grad, we would go to Dallas to
the Newhof meatpacking plant.
It's where American Airlines Are
na sits now, so it's long gone. In
Houston, there used to be a lot
of plants that were down there.
They're all long gone. They just
were not efficient. Now when
you go, the plants tend to be
plan on applying for the position.
“I decided to apply because I was
not only confident, but I knew that
I’d carry out the same goals that the
executive team has, considering I’m
currently a part of the executive
team,” Rozinsky said. “So I think
continuity is what stood out the most
in my application.”
Rozinsky said his goals for the
MSC can be summed up into three
main points — to expand the MSC’s
reach, to keep up with the changes
in the university in order to sustain
the MSC’s position on campus and
to combine primary classroom learn
ing with secondary learning that takes
place in the MSC to create a more
holistic student experience.
Trantham said the MSC president
chiefly acts as a liaison between MSC
staff and students, while overseeing
three executive vice presidents, each
in charge of a section of the MSC
responsible for leading different pro
cesses affecting all 1,300 students in
volved with the MSC.
Rozinsky said the most important
role as MSC president is advocating
on behalf of the MSC members.
“It’s important to me to make sure
that student voices are always heard,”
Rozinsky said.
bigger and more specialized.
Sometimes it's from regulatory
reasons and sometimes it's just
plain economics. Another thing
is the growth of super-markets,
and the amount of meat that's
sold in supermarkets. Even the
changes in supermarkets here
in Bryan-College Station, there's
been almost a complete turn
over. There used to be Safe-
way's, Piggly-Wiggly's, Winn-
Dixie. That's changed how we
market products.

lieve we're more of a preven
tative society when it comes
to food scares or are we a
reactive society?
SAVELL: My guess is we're
more reactionary. Most of the
things that have happened, most
of the things that have occurred
over time have been reactionary.

You know, there's a lot of things

how we need to anticipate, but
it's almost like life comes too
