The Michigan Daily-Sunday, April 15, 1979-Page 13 HO WE A WINNER, PER RY LOSES Blue split opener with By LIZ MAC The weather god finally smiled on the Michigan baseball team yesterday af- ternoon. However, the baseball god was only half as benevolent, as the Wolverines split a doubleheader with Wisconsin 5-0 and 0-2 at Fisher Stadium. The Michigan nine seemed to shake off the effects of playing only one doubleheader since the spring trip in the first game, collecting eight timely hits off the Badger hurlers, starter Steven Marsden and Jon Dzurak, who came in to help in the sixth inning. Blue pitcher Steve Howe spaced five hits and tallied five strikeouts, keeping his Big Ten unbeaten streak alive and preventing the Badgers from initiating anything resembling a rally. Michigan opened the scoring in the second inning. Shortstop George Foussianes led off with a walk, Jim Capoferi doubled to left, and first baseman Tim Miller sent them both home with a ground single up the mid- dle. In the fourth, Foussianes again got things going with his third home run of the year, a towering blast that fought a stiff breeze from right center and cleared the wall in left. After retiring Capoferi, Marsden then walked the next three batters. Only Miller was able to score, however, on a bouncer by second baseman Jerry Paparella. The Wolverines added one more run in the fifth inning, when third baseman Chuck Wagner blooped a single to left, stole second, and came home on a single by Foussianes. In the second game, the Badgers squeezed out two runs in the first off righthander Steve Perry. Unfor- tunately, it was all they-needed in their 2-0 shutout of the Wolverines.

Daily Photo by LISA UDELSON MICHIGAN'S BASEBALL team had its first home stand of the season yesterday, a doubleheader against Wisconsin. The Badgers were ungracious guests as they robbed the Blue batsmen of a sweep, winning the second game 2-0. The Wolverines won the first contest 5-0. Express thanks Detroit with 6-0 win By JAMIE TURNER Special to The Daily PONTIAC - For coach Ken Furphy and the Detroit Express there is some good news and some bad news. The good news: the Express won 6-0. The bad: Detroit doesn't get to play Mem- phis again until July 10, and by then the NASL players' strike will probably be over. .IT'S TOO BAD because Detroit - who had not been able to score in two 1-0 road losses - had little trouble piercing the Rogue substitutes. Detroit exploded for five goals in a second-half flurry af- ter taking a 1-0 lead at halftime on a score by Eddie Colquhoun. ,Reserve Bob Rohrbach accounted for four of the second half scores with a number of acrobatic kicks and headers while Roberto DeOlibeira notched the other with a left-footed blast for 30 feet out, An appreciative 14,272 fans atten- .^i{: ~ V. +l4ffff.. f..

But the story of the night was the possible effects the players' strike called Friday by Union President Ed Garvey. The Express lost only two players, Brien Tinnion and Danny Vaughn while Memphis was devastated with all but one regular boycotting play. BESIDES VOTING against the strike action in a team meeting Wednesday, Detroit players were angered by talk of possible deportment of non-striking aliens. "This is a difficult situation," said Express coach Furphy. "This is a free country, right? A democracy, right? I have a couple of players in Jim Brown and Johann Scharmann who have only been with us for one week. They came here to play because they love soccer and they wanted to play here in America. "But as soon as they get here they are being threatened with deportation! They are not even in the union," added Furphy. Colquhoun was equally adamant. "I've got a wife and two kids. I sold my business and I sold my car just to come here because I love the game and I wanted to play in America. But someone came up to me and said they would take my livelihood away if I didn't strike. "We have got no complaints with the management here. . . I don't know about the other teams' situations."
