Page Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sunday, April ] 7, 1977 LEACH RBI WINS NIGHTCAP: .. .. Wolverines divide double dip By RICK MADDOCK After exchanging a helmet with a face-guard for one with- out, Michigan center fielder Rick Leach hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh driv- ing in John McEldowney and breaking a 2-2 tie between Mich- igan and Minnesota in yester- Oay's night-cap. Leach's game-winning RBI gave the Wolverines a split with Minnesota in the Big Ten season opener at Fisher Field. The Gophers won the first game, 8-0. " Southpaw Steve Howe raised his record to 4-1 in the second game, as he cruised most of the way through the Gopher lineup. But, after a lead-off single by Jeff Kendall in the top of the seventh, Howe gave up a 355 foot shot by Jeff Neutzling. Michigan quickly came back in the bottom half of the inning. Shortstop Jim Berra slammed a double that was one bounce away from hitting the 400 foot mark on the center field wall. Dave Chapman bunted Berra over to third. Then, Berra was removed for pinch runner John McEldowney. Michigan coach Moby Bene- dict commented on the bunt strategy. "Well, now the in- field has to play in and the outfield has to play in, and you have the squeeze play," he said. Benedict considered giv- ing Leach the squeeze sign, but the Wolverine coach de- cided otherwise. "You've got to play your per- sonnel. Leach has got the abil- ity to put the ball into the out- field," Benedict said. Leach did just that on a 3-2 pitch; he hit a medium depth fly to center, and McEldowney scored even though lie stum- bled on his take-off. Michigan scored its initial two runs in the first inning after a two out two-base error by Gopher second baseman Tarry Boelter on a high pop to right center by Bob Wasilew- ski. Right fielder Mike Parker sent a sharp shot through the left side hole, but Wasilewski had to hold at third. Designated-hitter Greg Lane came through with a two-RBI double to the right-center alley that hit the wall on one bounce. The Gophers humiliated Mich- igan in the opener, as the Wol- verines committed four errors and managed only four hits off of Jerry Ujdor. The Gopher' righty upped his record to 5-0 and extended the team's win streak to eight games. All-American shortstop Paul Molitor blasted his second and third home runs of the season off of losing pitcher Bill Sten- nett. The Gopher hitting star collected three RBI's in the game. Stennett's record dropped to 2-1. The Wolverines looked like two different teams in the dou- bleheader. The first game saw a very ragged performance by the defending Big Ten champs. "That's baseball. We opened the door. It started to snow- ball; everything we did was wrong," Benedict said. The split leaves Michigan with an 11-7 record, while Minnesota is 10-8. MEN REMAIN UNDEFEATED Now that the Wolverines have faced their first Big Ten foe, they made some early season assessments of how their team looks. "I'd say our pitching is going to win it for us, our pitching and our defense," Parker said. "This park isn't the best for hitting." The Wolverines have had some problems scoring runs, but they appear to have the potential for a fine offensive attack. "Remember you're not play- ing nine innings. You're not going to have high scoring games in seven innings. You run out of time sooner," Bene- dict said. "We for sure have got the sticks. It's just a matter of put- ting them together," Chapman commented. A key to the Wolverine attack is last year's leading hitter, ILeach. He has gotten off to an incredibly slow start this year, because he has had little prac- tice due to the conflict with spring football practice. Leach said about the only bat- ting practice he's been getting is from the coaches. He commented on playing a half of football and then hurry- ing over to Fisher for the rest of the baseball game. "Well I didn't really want to, but it was up to Bo. He told me I was going to play the first half of the scrimmage." "I'm just glad it's all over with. Now I can just concen- trate on baseball," Leach con- cluded. The Wolverines face Iowa to- day at 1 p.m. at Fisher Field for a doubleheader. Benedict said Craig McGinnis will start one game, but he's undecided on the other starter. Daily Photo by JOHN KNOX FEET DO YOUR.STUFF!!!

Michigan's men's tennis team served Northwestern an 8-1 loss yesterday as it recorded its sec- ond victory in as many days, with only Southern Illinois to- day standing in its way of a perfect weekend sweep. The netters defeated a tough Wisconsin squad 8-2 on Friday in gaining the weekend's first victory. LED BY STRONG doubles play, Michigan jumped out todan early 3-0 lead. The first dou- bles team of Jeff Etterbeek and Jud Shaufler easily disposed of the Wildcats, Jim Bosse and Bob Kaspers, 6-2, 6-1. It was, however, the perform- ances at second and third dou- bles which highlighted the Wol- verines victory. The third dou- bles team of Mark Freedman and Ollie Owens combined to defeat Steve Kahn and Joey Rosenberg, 6-3, 6-4. At second doubles, Brad Hol- land and Jack Nienken provided the excitement for the day. Af- ter easily taking the first set, 6-3, the duo ran into problems as they were down 6-5 in the second set. Nienken then held service pushing the set into a nine point tie breaker. THE NORTHWESTERN duo composed of Jack Kaspers and Kurt Sepresser jumped out to a 4-0 lead and needed only one more point to claim the set. Nienken and Holland, however, regained their composure and reeledoff five straight points to end the match. "Our second and third dou- bles team played much better," said Michigan coach Brian Eis- ner. "They still need some more work but they are improving each time out." In singles action number four man, Freedman, routinely de- stroyed Rosenberg 6-2, 6-1. "Mark continued his excellent, play," said Eisner. "He had little problem with his opponent today as has been the case all year." SHAUFLER, HOLLAND and Nienken playing second, third and fifth singles respectively also disposed of their opponents with relative ease. Shaufler handed Bob Kaspers a 6-1, 6-3 loss, while Holland downed Kahq 6-4, 6-3 and Nienken whipped Jack Kaspers 6-3, 6-3. Etterbeek, Michigan's number one player needed three sets to d e f e a t Northwestern's a c e, Bosse. After easily winning the first set 6-3, he dropped the second 4-6, and was down 0-3 in the third set. But the- sopho- more, captured the next six games to win the match. MICHIGAN'S ONLY loss of the day came at the sixth sin- les position, where Wildcat Kurt Sepresser needed three sets to defeat Seeman 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. "The potential problem with today's match was that we might have suffered a let down! after yesterday's win over Wis- consin," said Eisner, "but I think we competed fairly well." "Northwestern is a much im- proved team and I think it indi- cates that all the teams in the conference are good solid teams."

In the first match, Michigan's coach John Atwood went with what he called his best line-up. Though Michigan soundly de- feated the Hoosiers, they were forced to struggle at times. "There're some really good matches being p l a y e d out here," said opposing Hoosier coach Rick Fink. For exam- ple, the 6-2, 6-3 score of Mich- igan's first d o u b l e s team Kathy Karzen and Barb Selden (No. 1 and No. 2 respectively)) did not reflect the work they put into their victory. "Barb and Kathy were forced to work," said Atwood. "Barb knew she had to work hard and not mess around." Karzen likewise had her dif- ficilties. "Mv first serves were off. I wasn't anick enough at times and it was hard to concentrate too." said Karzen. "Kathy was being put on the defensive whereas she's usual- ly on the offensive. It's diffi- cult to concentrate because of finals and all," said co-cap- tain and sister Jan Karzen. In the second match, Michigan had an easier time in shutting out Kalamazoo who had lost to Indiana earlier 9-0. "This kind of match against Kalamazoo is helpful for the up- coming match against Ohio State next weekend in Columbus and then the Big Tens in Wisconsin in two weeks," said Atwood. Strategy is exactly what At- wood and his team worked on. For. example, Atwood imple- mented an Australian Form- tion in Jan Karzen's and Jody Strom's double match. "Basically, the net player stands on the same side of the court as the server, who after serving, moves to the other side of the court. This way, weak backhands are avoided and fore- hands are favored," remarked a strategic Atwood.- The low intensity of the match also allowed Atwood to experi- ment with his line-up. For in- stance, Atwood played Elaine Crosby and Melinda Fertig in the third doubles position. "I'm realy happy the way Elaine and Melinda played to- gether," commented a jovial coach. "We just kept the ball in play. They fed us the balls and we! put them away. I think we play- ed well," said Crosby. "We're playing w e 11 right now. But, we'll have to play even better to beat Ohio State next weekend," said Atwood. The team really wants to beat OSU this time. They previously lost to the Buckeyes at the Pur- due Invitational.

Well for one thing, recruiting. And when coaches retire, they usually cite recruiting as their main reason for quitting. This weekend two legendary football coaches, Texas' Darrell Royal and A r k a n s a s' Frank Broyles,tboth recently retired, graced the Michigan campus in order to participate in the Wol- verine's eleventh annual football clinic. "You can only take so much," related Royal in response to several questions about his de- parture. "I stayed with it until I got my fill." Broyles had his own ideas about the problems of college football. "We've created a mon- ster in college football with TV and the bowls," he said.
