day, the Owls took another one, WITH THE SMU MUSTANGS
their third conference win of
the season. This time the Rice team
clipped the Baylor nine 4-3 in a close
contest. Tuesday's game was one of
those ninth inning rally affairs. It
is interesting to note that for the
second straight time in two games
Rice has beaten Baylor star pitch-
er Ray Fitzpatrick. No other team
in the conference to date has man-
aged to win when Fitzpatrick was
pitching. In the hit department last
Tuesday Baylor out hit the Owls
11-7.
Rice pulled the unusual up in
Waco. After going through 8 in-
ning scoreless, the Rice men came
back to overcome a 3 run Baylor
lead and won the game. It all start-
ed in the ninth when Willie Witt
walked. Windy Wright next up flied
out to right, Rex Proctor beat out
a bunt to first, and Golibart singled,
loading the bases. Dave Devine
.singled scoring Witt and Proctor,
then Doyle Beard, with a single
scored Golibart. Hans Wagner went
in to pinch hit. He grounded to
short, but was safe on an error
when the short stop let the ball get
by him. Devine scored and that was
the ball game.
