After the first weekend of Big Ten play the Wolverines find themselves in the middle of the pack with a 22 record and 12-8 overall. While coach Moby Benedict shrugs this off with a "that's baseball, and "some days are better than others," the fact r e m a i n s that Michigan justl hasn't been able to put it all to- gether yet.1 role cramps Leach s style Rick Leach as well has not gotten off to a blazing start with this year's team. Last year's top Wolverine hitter has found himself pressing . . missing pitches that he would have belted last year. Michigan counts on Leach to regain his form and to help it retain it's Big Ten champion- ship. But Leach has a problem .. that being football. Coach Bo Schembechler de- manded that Leach go to every practice and perform in the first' half of the annual spring prac- tice game . . . even though that prevented the baseball team from employing one of its most here." dangerous weapons.

"You know he gets banged around alot in practice and that has got to affect his hitting," he continued. "He gets down1 and starts pressing . . . it takes its toll. I don't think anyone doubts that he's busting his tail out on the field, it's just that the team wishes that he could spend all his time with us." "When we had a big week- end like this, when the cham- pionship could have been de- cided, we really needed to have all our players," Berra concluded. Benedict expressed the atti- tude of the team and also shed some light on the athletic totem pole. "I don't have a great deal to say . . . it's really in Bo's hands." th ru Classified ' Blue diamond stars shine in Iowa split 1: By JAMIE TURNER Facing a must-win situation after dropping a 3-1 decision to Iowa in the first game of Sun- day's doubleheader, the Mich- igan baseball team rallied be- hind the six-hit pitching of Steve Perry and the slugging of Jim Berra, Dave Chapman and Greg Lane for an 8-1 triumph in the second game. "I'm greedy ... I would have liked to have come out of the weekend at .750," said Wolver- ine coach Moby Benedict. "But the first game (the 3-1 loss) was as fine a college game as you'll ever want to see. It was no dis- grace to lose that one." IN IOWA pitcher Mike Bod- dicker, the Wolverines faced their toughest mound opponent this year. Time and time again the slendor right hander had the right handed Wolverines bailing out on his sharp breaking curves. "Boddicker was as good a pitcher as we've seen," com-' mented Michigan shortstop Jim Berra. "We didn't expect to face him, but he did a heluva job." Berra's second home run of the season had tied up the game in the fifth inning after a bases- loaded walk had forced in the1 first Hawkeye tally. Tle game continued on an even keel with both team* threatening but neither doing' aqy damage until the eighth. Wolverinereliever Kevin Clin- ton (2-1) took over the mound chores after starter Craig Mc- Ginnis had tired in the seventh. AFTER GETTING out of a tight situation in' the seventh, Clinton gave upsingles to Bod-' dicker and first baseman Del Ryan to open the eighth. Pitching carefully to left field- er Willie Mimis, Clinton issued a walk. Wolverine catcher and co-captain Ted Mahan eased the pressure somewhat w h e n he picked off Boddicker at third when the pitcher had taken too large a lead. All was for naught however, when Hawkeye Tom Wessling single through the drawn-in in- field-driving in the two run winning margin. Michigan wasted no time in changing things in the second game. After a Berra double and Chapman's infield single, right fielder Mike Parker doubled, driving in both runners and sig- naling the end of Iowa starter Steve Rooks (4-1) after only two innings. RELIEVER Wes Weigal fared no better than Rooks when the Wolverines exploded for four more runs in the third. . With one out, Lane singled up the middle and took second on a ground out. Rick Leach drove Lane home with his first hit since the spring tour. He took second on a passed ball and third on a wild pitch. Berra walked, setting the table for Chapman's three run blast-only the second of his career. "I hit one out against them last year," commented a INTRODUCING: JUNIOR PROFESSIONAL HAIRSTYLIST for mea & women appts. 668-9329 Dascola Barbers Liberty off State pleased Chapman. "I've been hitting poorly, and I had to break out of my slump.' Chapman's six - for - six effort raised his average from .224 to .284, his best day as a Wol- verine. MICHIGAN scored two morel runs off the third Iowa hurler, Rich Carlucci, on a single by, Anderson and Lane's RBI dou- ble in the fifth and Berra's sec- ond home run of the day in the sixth. "'We've been trying to shorten his (Berra's) stroke and for him to go some to right field," com- mented Benedict. "It's added a lot to his power." "I'm just trying to take theI ball up the middle," said Berra, "I've been trying to pull the ball all the time, and that's not myI style." Berra went on to credit added weight and Benedict's aid for his extra distance. Michigan takes to the road for two games at Western Michigan today and returns for a home doubleheader a g a i n s t Notre Dame on Thursday. The Wol- verines travel to Ypsilanti to play Eastern Michigan in a dou- bleheader on Sunday.
