The Michigan Daily-Sunday, April 9, 1978-Page 11 ANDERSON'S HIT KEYS NIGHTCAP WIN:' Blue splits opening twinbil t By GARY KICINSKI A clutch base hit by senior Scott Anderson and some fireballing relief pitching by junior Tom Owens gave the Michigan Wolverines a 4-1 victory yesterday, salvaging a split in the long- awaited season-opening doubleheader with Bowling Green. The effects of the long layoff (26 days without a game) were painfully ob- vious, as Michigan managed only seven hits in the two games, including just three off Falcon Terry Milton in the fir- st game, which Bowling Green won 5-1. "I've got one quote for you," said Michigan coach Moby Benedict with a laugh, "It's great to be playing." Sophomore lefthander Steve Howe pitchedthe first game for Michigan and allowed 10 hits and four earned runs, despite striking out eight Falcons. Bowling Green scored first in the second inning before there were any, outs. A single by rightfielder Jim Dyer (his first of three in the game) and a walk to Kevin Glasspoole put men at first and second. Catcher Jeff Lee then doubled to left center for one run, and first baseman Ron Ritticher singled in two more on a bouncer up the middle just out of the diving reach of Michigan shortstop Jim Berra. The Falcons also added single runs in the third and fourth innings to post a 5-0 lead. Meanwhile, Michigan had managed just one hit off of Bowling Green's Milton in the first five innings. The Wolverines finally broke through in the sixth when with two outs George day," said Benedict. The second game didn't start out to be much more promising than the first, as the Falcons jumped on lefty Craig McGinnis for a run in the first before he'd gotten anybody out. Shortstop Chuck Black drew a walk to open the game and scored when Jim Selgo blasted a one-hop shot off the wall in left center for a double. But McGin- nis settled down quickly and retired the next three batters. Michigan got on the board in the second when Anderson, the senior from Ann Arbor Pioneer High School, lined a single to left scoring Berra, who had also singled and advanced on a walk and a force play. The 1-1 tie was short-lived though, as Foussianes blasted a wrong-field homer through the chilly air over the scoreboard in right field.. The one-run lead seemed precarious as the Falcons threatened in every in- ning. In the sixth, Benedict replaced McGinnis with righthanded Tom Owens, as McGinnis had developed a h ister on the middle finger of his pit- ching hand. Owens apparently decided the best way to warm up the crowd was to bring on all the heat he could muster. After walking Groth to lead off the sixth, Owens blew third strikes by Shane andr Jim Dyer and got designated hitter John Mitchell to line out to center. IC11 gaii oa.e We ases w iZJui the benefit of a hit in the bottom half of the inning before anyone was out. Catcher Jim Capoferi walked to start the inning, and Falcon pitcher Chris Dill ifired Jim Berra's sacrifice bunt in- to centerfield, trying to force Capoferi. A walk to Dan Cooperrider loaded the bases, but when centerfielder John Mceldowney bounced into a double- play, erasing Berra on a force at home and getting McEldowney at first, the threat looked less promising. But Anderson lined a clutch single to left field to score one run, and when the ball eluded the charging Mark Shane, Cooperrider came around to score and Anderson went all the way to third: That pushed Michigan's margin to 4- 1, and Owens protected it in fine fashion, retiring the side in order and finishing with a flourish by striking out Black. MICHIGAN SHORTSTOP and team captain Jim Berra swings through a pitch yesterday's doubleheader split against Bowling Green. Berra was one for six yesterday's action. Michigan's next home contests are this Wednesday when d Wolverines host the Detroit Titans in a twinbill. Scot tAnderson Foussianes doubled and scored on a single by Jim Capoferi. Milton struck out five and walked three in tossing his three-hitter. Benedict cited the postponements as one reason for Howe's ineffectiveness.

(AP)-Hubert Green solved the hump-backed, temper- testing Augusta National greens with his crouched and curious putting stance in carving out a spectacular, seven- under-par 65, which gave him a three- stroke lead in the third round of the 42nd Masters Golf Tournament yester- day. GREEN, THE current U.S. Open champion and two-timer winner this season, fired the best round of the tour- nament in registering a 54-hole total of 206. That was 10-under-par for the gently rolling :hills of Augusta National and three strokes better than Tom Watson, the gritty defending champion who had to rally for a hard-earned 68 that in- cluded seven birdies and three bogeys. Jack Nicklaus, a five-time Masters champion, also failed to find the proper touch on the putting surfaces and ar pearedl all-but-blocked from a si cessful run at another major tit). "I'VE HAD SOME very frustrating days putting-and this was one of them," Niclaus said. "I just couldn't get the ball in the hole." He finished with a 69 that left him at 212, eight strokes off the pace. Low-key veteran Rod Funseth, who started the day in a tie with Lee Trevino for the lead, shot a 70 that left him in a tie with Watson. Gene Littler, the 47-year-old veteran, shot a solid 70 that left him at 210 and For more sports, see page 9 alone in fourth place, four strokes back going into the final 18 holes. TREVINO WAS ambushed by a triple-bogey seven that sent him reeling back into the pack.' I Trevino finished with a rallying round of par 72 and a four-way tie at 211-five strokes back. TOM WEISKOPF, Player and dynamic young Severiano Ballesteros were in a group at 213. Weiskopf shot a 78, Player a 69 and Ballesteros a 68 that included a 31 on the back nine. Arnold Palmer, a four-time Masters champion, was only three shots back when play started, but disappointed his hopeful, faithful followers with a 74 that left him out of contention at 2i6. Starting two shots back, Green quickly moved into a tie with birdies on three of his first four holes and gained the lead alone when Trevino was having his problems.

SPOR TS OF THE DAIL Y Kenyan sets record By the Associated Press BERKELEY, Cal.-Kenyan distance runner Henry hono, a sophomore at Washington State University, set a world record of 13 minutes, 8.4 seconds in winning the 5,000-meter race yester- day in a triangular meet at the Univer- sity of California's Edwards Stadium. Rono covered the final 400 meters in 59.6 seconds, unofficially, in breaking the world mark of 13:12.9 established last July at Stockholm by New Zealand's Dick Quax. Two of Rono's teammates, also from Kenya, finished behind him in Satur- day's race, but Rono was far ahead of the field by the halfway point. The public address announcer kept him aware of his progress as he challenged the record on the sunny and warm day. Rono was named to his country's Olympic team in 1976, but did not com- pete at Montreal because of the African nations' boycott of the Games. At Washington State, he has won two con- secutive NCAA cross country titles.

Bruce Sutter gave up a bases-loaded walk to Jim Fregosi, enabling the Pit- tsburgh Pirates to nab a 4-3 victory from the Chicago Cubs. Ed Kranepool's pinch homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, boosted the New York Mets to a 6-5 victory over the Montreal Expos, while Jim Barr fired a seven-hitter to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-0 victory over the San Diego Padres. In the American League, Chet Lemon's game-tying double highlighted a four'run eighth-inning rally that boosted the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox. In other action, Andre Thorton's two- run homer paced the Cleveland Indians to an 8-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
