. Batsmen split

with

hawkeyes

By ELLIOT LEGOW
Relying on their typically excep-
tional pitching and typically inept
hitting, the Michigan diamondmen
managed a split of a double-header
with Iowa yesterday, taking the
second game 2-1 after dropping
the opener, 1-0.
Mickey Elwood and Pete Het
put on two more exceptional pitch-
ing performances for the Wolver-
ines, who extended their string of
complete games to 16. But only
Elwood was given enough support
to come off with a victory.
In fact the Wolverines had only
one hit in their second game vic-
torybut some sloppy Iowa fielding
-~presented Michigan with two gift
runs and the victory. In the opener
the Wolverine batsmen connected
for all of two hits, and totaled only
three measly singles for the day.
Elwood brought in the winning
run himself in the bottom half of1
the seventh just when Michigan
fans were beginning to think they

hours in Ray Fisher Stadium.
The stage was set for Elwood's'
game-winning infield bouncer by
a walk to Leon Roberts, the one'
Michigan hit of the game by John'
Lonchar. and another walk to Jim
Kocoloski.
Lonchar's single was a hard

of the Hawkeye third baseman and
into short left field. It could have
been called either a hit or an er-
ror, but the call was for a hit.
Elwood's hit was nothing more

than a slow bouncer to the second
baseman who went for the out at
first instead of trying for a double-
play or throwing to the plate. Ev-
eryone was safe and Roberts
crossed the plate with the winning
run.
The initial Michigan run, in the
first inning, was even more tainted.
Mark Carrow was safe on third
baseman Larry Schutzius' error,
went to second on a walk, took
third on a wild pickoff throw to
second, and then came in to score
when the centerfielder fumbled the
pitcher's wild pickoff toss.
Iowa touched Elwood for five
singles and managed to put two
of them together in the sixth to
knot the score.
Elwood's only streak of wildness
hurt him in the sixth. Jeff Elgin
singled and took second on a wild
pitch. A two out walk, the only
one Elwood issued in the game,
kept things going for the Hawk-
eyes and Fred Mims' shot up the
middle tied the score.

i Elwood fanned twelve as he re-
corded his third victory of the year.
In the first game Helt also yielded
five hits and struck eight out while
walking two.
However, one of the hits was a:
homerun off the bat of Hawkeye!
second baseman Jim Cox. Cox, who
had doubled in the first drove one
over the left field fence leading off
the sixth to give Iowa the only run
in the opener.
Michigan had two semi-rallies in,
the first game, but never gat a run-
ner as far as third base. Mike Bo-
wen and Tom Kettinger walked
with one away in the first but Pat
Sullivan ended the uprising by
bouncing into a double play.
In the sixth a single by Mark
Carrow and another walk to Bo-
wen again presented Michigan with
a chance, but this time Kettinger
fanned and Sullivan again ended
the inning with a double play.
The split in Michigan's first two
Big Ten games isn't quite what the

Wolverines were hoping for but

ing champion Minnesota today for
