Comments

I listened to the game on the radio and kept score as I listened. It sounded like the game was well-played but just didn't go Texas' way. Among the offensive highlights: Harkrider went 3-for-4 with 1 run scored, Walsh went 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored, and Cridland went 1-for-3 with 2 runs batted in. Dunn came on to pitch in the 6th and pitched shut-out ball. Too bad Rupe was doing such a good job on the Aggie end of things, shutting out the Horns from the 4th inning on. By the way, there was a record paid attendance of 7,255.

Game summary:

• 1st inning
  • Texas:
    • Harkrider singled to cf.
    • Walsh bunted to the mound and reached on a 1-6 fielder's choice. The radio announcers thought Harkrider was clearly safe and the play was argued by Augie Garrido to no avail.
    • Loeffler went down swinging.
    • During Cridland's at-bat, Walsh advanced to 2b on a wild pitch.
    • Cridland singled to rf (rbi). Walsh scored.
