at bat: Baseball, Softball: An official turn as a batter. There are occasions when a batter is not charged with a time at bat: when he receives a base on balls, when he is hit by a pitched ball, when he is interfered with by the catcher, and when he sacrifices.

Through the 1975 season, no major-college placekicker had booted two field goals of 60 or more yards in one season, and only Air Force's Dave Lawson had connected on two such attempts in a career (a 60-yarder in 1974 and a 62-yarder in 1975). Furthermore, no one had made one beyond 63 yards. However, on October 16, 1976, in College Station, Tex., Texas A&M's Tony Franklin boomed 64- and 65-yard field goals in one game, sparking the Aggies to a 24-0 triumph over the Baylor Bears.

Franklin, who had kicked a 24-yard field goal in the first quarter, made his 64-yarder in the second period and hit on his 65-yarder in the third quarter.
