Page Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, May 25, 1976 Blue nine nab Big Ten title By BILL STIEG Michigan has another Big Ten champion. Sundav, the baseball team joined the lofty ranks of the Wolverine tennis team, track team, cross-country team and women's swim team. al confer- ence champions. But the basebull team did it with a style all its own, ovel- coming some injuries and a shallow pitching staff to take the title for the second straight vear. It's the first time since World War II hat the Wolverines have repeated as champions. They did it with aonther last- day, "must" victory similar to the 1975 season in which Mich- igan swept two from Wisconsin tn the final day of the season to lock up the pennant. This year intra-state rival Michigan State was the victim of Michigan's clinching win. The Spartans, who had stalled Michigan's title drive with a Tired of Being a Slave to a Cigarette? Come to Ann Arbor SMOKING WITHDRAWAL CLINIC PUBLIC MEETING THURSDAY, MAY 27-7:30 P.M. Room 5-Student Health Service 10-2 lashing of the Wolverines Saturday, took it on the chin quickly, falling behind 10-0 after five innings and eventually los- ing, 11-3. The win put Michigan, at 9-4, 25 percentage points ahead of runner-up Minnesota. Minnesota had split a twinbill with Iowa, Saturday, to close its season at 12-6. Had Michigan lost Sunday, the Gophers would be champs. Thus the Wolverines take their place in the NCAA Mideast Re- gional at Eastern Michigan, where the Wolverines will play the Hurons Friday at 4 p.m. Southern Illinois and Illinois State pair off in the opener of the double-elimination tourna- ment at 1 p.m. "I'm so very grateful," said Michigan coach Moby Benedict of his team's title. "Our ball club went out and played like winners. We challenged Mich- igan State from the start, and when we had to have that base hit to drive in runs, they went out and got it." Fittingly, it was star seniors Mark Weber and Dick Walter- house who led the attack in Sun- day's game. Walterhouse smacked a pair of doubles and knocked in three runs, while Weber spread out ten Spartan hits in evening up his record at 4-4. A record crowd of around 2500 watched the game. Many were craning their necks over the fences and some were forced to sit in the aisles because quite a few of the seats are broken. The seating crunch also made many fans sit behind the screen, which is triple-thick from re- pairs in some spots and diffi- cult to see through. Nevertheless, the fans were out in force and saw a good show. Michigan scored its first two on a walk to Dave Chap- man, Walterhouse's first double, an error by the right fielder and a wild pitch. 'Three walks (State walked 11 for the game (and Walter- house's second double in the second inning produced two more. The Wolverines batted around in the fourth, scoring four times. A single, an error and two walks forced in the first. Walterhouse hit a sacrifice fly for the next run, and leading hitter Ricky Leach nailed a triple to deep right center to score two more. A walk, two singles and a dou- ble play in the fifth made it 10-0. State finally put something together in the eighth, scoring thrice. Benedict talked briefly with Weber, but left him in. He fanned two straight to get out of the inning. Bob Wasilewski finished the scoring with an RBI double in the eighth. "I can't say enough good things about Mark Weber," said Benedict. "Whenever you need him, you just give him the ball and say 'go get 'em.' He could- have a sore arm, a sore back- he'd go out there and pitch his guts out." So now it's on to nemesis Eastern, which beat Michigan four times this season. Those games, however, may be mis- leading. "We played them on off dates," e x p l a i n s Benedict. "They didn't pitch their good people and we didn't pitch our good people. It should be an interesting contest. We've got a good rivalry going." Michigan is relatively weak after its top two starters, which made them vulnerable on off dates. This weekend, however, Benedict is sure to throw his best, Lary Sorensen, against the Hurons.
