Page Fight THE MICHIGAN DAILY , I Sunday, April'10,1977 Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sunday, April10, 1977~ Michigan burned by umps, split with Bowling Green MEN STING HORNETS, 12-0 Special To The Daily Everything started out just fine yesterday in Bowling Green for the Michigan baseball team ... then things got a bit frustrating. The Wolverines took the first half of their doubleheader with the Falcons 5-4 on the strength of Craig McGinnis' 6-hit pitching, only to lose the second game 5-1 despite outhitting Bowling Green 11-10. MICHIGAN'S FIRST game fireworks began in the third inning when Dan Cooperider beat out a ground ball to second. Losing pitcher Jeff Jones then.walked Dave Chapman, set- ting the table for Wolverine captain Mark Grenkowski who blasted a Jones fastball over the leftfield fence, giving Michigan a 3-2 lead. After falling behind 4-3, Michigan tied the game in the fourth when a two-out single by Chapman scored Cooperider, who had moved into scoring position on an error by the second baseman. The game remained deadlocked until the seventh, when singles by Grenkowski, Scott Anderson, and Bob Wasilewski loaded the bases with one out. Reliever Jim Joyce then walked the first man he faced; fellow Toledo- an and close friend Mike Parker, on four straight pitches, forcing in the winning run. A STILL STRONG McGinnis mowed down the Falcons in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the lead. McGinnis gave up all four runs in the first three innings and then pitched one-hit ball the rest of the way, in squaring his season's record at 1-1. He struck out five and walked only one batter. In the nightcap, Wolverine starter Steve Perry and Falcon Perry Milton traded goose eggs until the fifth, when Michigan tallied its lone run on singles by Grenkowski, Ander- son, and a double by Wasilewski. THE MICHIGAN bubble burst in the bot- tom of the fifth when Perry gave up a walk and a double to knot the score. It looked as if Perry would get out of the inning when, with two out, two consecutive Falcon batters reached base on infield hits, aided by contro- versial calls by the umpires. Michigan coach Moby Benedict was ejected following the second call for his lrotestations. The next batter tripled, knocking in two runs and that was it for the hard luck Wol- verines. Michigan was hampered in the swond game by three Bowling Green double plays and 11 men left on base, along with the two ques- tionable infield calls. THE LOSS was Perry's second against one win this season. Kevin Clinton finished out the game for the Wolverines. Leading hitter Rick Leach missed both games which no doubt hurt the Wolverines. The team will play Western Michigan Tues- day in a 'doubleheader at Fisher Stadium, followed by a single home game Wednesday against Wayne State. Big Ten competition will begin Saturday when leading contenders Minnesota and Iowa come into town for a pair of doubleheaders. Blue le By ERIC OLSON Michigan's men'sttennis team has yet to feel the warmth of the sun this season because of the long winter and typically late Michigan spring. The foul weather has forced the netters to play all three of their matches indoors. But they aren't complaining because they have won three straight indoors. "We havewsuch a nice facility indoors that we might as well play inside un less the conditions outside are near perfect and besides most of the players like it (playing) inside because there are less distractions," explained Michi- gan coach Brian Eisner. "Playing inside is more enjoyable for the spectators and also reduces the chances of injuries to players," con- cluded Eisner. Yesterday's "inside" victim was last year's NCAA Division III Champion Kalamazoo College. Michigan blitzed the Fighting Hor- nets by shutting them out 12-0. "Kalamazoo College is noted as hav- ing a long tradition of good tennis More sports on page seven tters roll over teams and is regarded as one of the top five small colleges in the nation this year," commented Eisner during the introduction of the players before the match. But the Hornets didn't have it yester- day as they failed to win a single match and the best they could do was to take Wolverine netters into the third set on three different occasions before losing. Play started off with a new twist, with doubles matches first, fol- lowed by singles. Playing the dou- bles first is a new Big Ten trend because it allows the players to get used to- the surface before playing singles. Highlighting the doubles play was the number one match between Michi- gan's duo of Jeff Etterbeek and Judd Shaufler and Kalamazoo's Jim HosneX and Harlan Smith. Etterbeek and Shaufler took command from the start with excellent serving and volleying which carried them to a 6-2, 6-2 win. Shaufler continuously pounded over- heads out of the reach of the Hornet players. "Sometimes I've got it and some- times I don't," said Shaufler, the giant 6-7 freshman from Wisconsin, after the match, commenting on his powerful overhead. "In doubles I like to be ag- gressive and take the net and I would also prefer a faster court surface than this for doubles," added Shaufler. - "Shaufler is the hardest working player I've had in 15 years and he is always trying to improve his game," said Eisner about the man who brings back memories of for- mer Michigan great Victor Amaya. Other double matches saw Michigan's number four team of Rich Garcia and Scott Seeman outlast John Hosner and Barry Bedfor of Kalamazoo 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. In another three set match Dan Arononic and Gary Grant teamed up at number five doubles to hold off a late charge by Hornets' David Kes- sench and Ed Rychawalski 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Arononic also had the most excit- ing singles match of the day by de- feating David Kamisar. After win- Kazoo ning the first set 7-5 Arononic dropped the second set 6-3 to set up the showdown third set. With the score knotted six games apiece, a nine point, tie breaker was played in which Arononic prevailed 6-3 to win the third set 7-6. The netters' next match is away April 12 versus cross-state rival Michi- gan State and their next home match is against Big Ten power Wisconsin. SINGLES 1. Etterbeek (M) def. Bussert (K) 6-1, 6-0; ?.

By The Associated Press Toronto advances in playoffs PITTSBURGH.-Lanny McDonald scored three goals and as- sisted on two more to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the final game of their National Hockey League playoff series. The Maple Leafs, who won the best-of-three set with a pair of victories here to offset a loss on their home ice, advanced to the quarter-finals where they will meet Philadelplia or Boston. McDonald assisted on first-period power play goals by Borje Salming and Ian Turnbull that gave Toronto a 2-0 lead before Jean Pronovost scored for Pittsburgh with 20 seconds left on another power play in the penalty-ridden opening period. A total of 38 penalty minutes were assessed in that hotly contested period, and Pittsburgh drew 25 of them, as well as a game misconduct against Syl Apps for fighting. McDonald then scored two goals in the second period. The first came 8:46 into the period on a drop pass from Daryl Sittler, and McDonald gave Toronto a 4-1 lead with 3:43 left in the second period after taking a pass in the slot from Turnbull. With 3:54 left in the second period, Penguin rookie Blair Chapman drove in a 15-foot slapshot from the slot to trim the margin to 4-2. In the final period, the Penguins lifted their goalie with 58 seconds left and with 16 seconds remaining McDonald eased his third goal of the night into an empty net. The Penguins were ousted from the playoffs for the second straight season by Toronto, which beat them in the same first round series a year ago. Old-timer Oerter wins again BROOKVILLE, N.Y.-Al Oerter, winner of the discus throw in four consecutive Olympics, continued his comeback for the 1980 Games by winning his specialty Saturday in the fifth annual Post College Relays. The 40-year old Oerter, who captured the gold medal from 1956 through 1968 for an unprecedented feat, came through with a toss of 199 feet, 8 inches. A computer analyst with Grumman Aircraft Corp., the Kansas University graduate beat out Art Swarts of the Philadelphia Pio- neers by 11 inches. i9 Glance robbed of record? AUBURN, Ala.-Faulty electronic timing device cost Auburn University sprint star Harvey Glance a possible world's record in the 100-meter dash at a track meet involving Auburn, Georgia, Troy State and Faulkner State Junior College yesterday. Glance was hand-timed at 9.75, well under the world record held by Jim Hines at 9:955. But the electronically run Accutrack, connected to the starter's gun, did not function. The three officials' watches had Glance at 9.69, 9.75 and 9.80, all under the recognized world record. A hand-started electronic system caught Glance in 9.78. A similar malfunction at the Texas Relays last week kept Univer- sity of Texas freshman Jimmy Jones from a world record in the same event. Distances up to 400 meters must now be elec- tronically timed by the Accutrack system to classify for world records. Gridders progressing well Bo Schembechler says his grid team is doing about as well as could be expected at this stage of spring drills. "We have a lotta nuisance injuries right now, and that naturally takes away the effectiveness we could be developing, he said Saturday. "But that's also very typical at this point in spring practice. "We practiced today for two hours without four players we consider to be regulars on offense, so you have to figure that hurts us quite a bit." The squad's annual Blue and White spring game has been scheduled for next Saturday at 2 p.m. For the first time, there will be a $1 admission fee. The proceeds will go for a women's athletic scholarship fund. Swimming records toppled CANTON, Ohio-Two American teenagers, Olympic gold medalist Jill Sterkel and Bonnie Glasgow, and Canadian Olym- pian Nancy Garapick set records Saturday in qualifying for the national Amateur Athletic Union indoor swimming meet. Sterkel, 15, a high school sophomore from El Monte, Calif., who swam on the Unit'ed States' gold medal winning 400-meter freestyle relay lowered the 100-yard freestyle mark. Sterkel's time of 49.72 seconds wiped out her own Ameri- can standard of 49.85 set a year ago. Glasgow, 17, from Baltimore, set American and American open records in the 200 individual medley in the Branin Natator- ium. She clocked 2:04.61, erasing the mark of 2:04.7 set by Jenni Pistons dump Cans, 103-96; 76ers paste Bullets, 125-93 By The Associated Press RICHFIELD, Ohio-Bob Lan-I ier tossed in 15 of his game-highi 30 points in the fourth period as the Detroit Pistons held off a late charge by the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 103-96 victory yesterday. The 6-foot-11 Lanier, playing in only his second game since returning from a broken wrist, put the game out of reach with. his last basket, with 1:52 re- maining. That gave Detroit a 99-94 edge, and Kevin Porter added a basket and a pair of; free throws to keep Cleveland at arms- length. The -seesaw first half saw' the Pistons take a 55-52 lead into the half as the Cavaliers shot 27 per cent from the field in the first period and 64 per cent in the second period.
