But then came the seventh and final inning when, for the second non conference doubleheader in a row, the roof fell in for Michigan. Howe retired the first two Eastern batters before giving up another sharp single to Cole. First baseman Keith Wyatt than hit a ground ball up the middle that shortstop George Foussiance went far to his left to get but the ball bounced off his glove and boun- ced into center field, allowing Cole to move to third. That was all the incentive the Hurons needed. Brian Stemberger lashed a hit to right that tied the game and then Ray FINAL RALLY FALLS SHORT: Beckman's grounder to third was misplayed by Jim Paciorek and that allowed Wyatt to cross the plate with the winning run. "I'll tell ya," said Michigan coach Moby Benedict after the game, "you make a mistake against Eastern and they'll beat ya. The first game was a perfect example." Nonetheless, Howe, who suffered only his first loss against six wins this season, appeared to tire a bit in the seventh. "I don't think he was throwing as hard as he was at first," said Benedict, "but he's been a winner for me and I had to go with him." In the second gamea pair of three run homers from Capoferi and Vic Ray and some strong relief work from Steve Perry salvaged a split for the Wolveriens, who are now 17-13 on the year. Mark Clinton started for Michigan, pitched the first four innings giving up five hits and two runs and recording his fourth win along aide three losses. The Wolverines resume Big Ten ac- tion with doubleheaderssagainst Nor- thwestern and Iowa this weekend at Fisher Stadium. Michigan is currently in fourth place at 7-3, only one game behind league leading Michigan State.

Chicago snapped an eight game losing streak in Tiger Stadium last night, nip- ping the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, in a game that was very much in doubt until the final out. With Lance Parrish on third and two out in the bottom of the ninth, White Sox reliever Ken Kravec got pinch hitter Lynn Jones to fly out to right and end the Tigers threat. The victory sent the White Sox home with one game of the three game series under their belt. THE GAME WAS a turn around from Wednesday night's 10-8 Tiger victory, as Detroit outhit the Sox but came up short in the runs column. Durable starting pitchers remained a Tiger rarity as starter Milt Wilcox could last only 31 innings before the Sox knocked him out to drop the right hander's record to 2-2. Chiago starter Ross Baumgarten faired slightly better than Wilcox, going six innings before being relieved in notching his third win against no losses. The Tigers opened the scoring in the first pushing across a single run against Baumgarten. After Tiger scoring machine Ron LeFlore shot a single to left, Rusty Staub sent him to third with another base hit. Jason Thompson then extended his personal hitting streak to eight games scoring LeFlore on a ground-rule double over the 400-foot marker in deep left center.
