Arizona blasts Eastern, 11-6

Five-run outburst in
eighth sinks Hurons

From Wire Service Reports
OMAHA - Arizona's S t e v e
Powers let fly a home-run in
the eighth inning to start a five-
run explosion by Arizona and
defeat the Eastern Michigan
Hurons 11-6 in the fourth round
of College World Series here
last night.
In the course of the scoring
binge, ten men went to the
plate against the Hurons as
Arizona broke a 6-6 tie. Until
that point, the contest was a
furio-s see-saw battle of hitting,
with batters from both squads
slugging just about everything
in sight.
Neither squad looked as im-
pressive as in previous match-
es in the tournament. EMU
had upset top-ranked Arizona
State Tuesday night, and was
the only undefeated team in
the Series until last night.
Arizona made it into last night
with only one loss.
The finals shape up to be a
tough battle between either
Arizona or Arizona State, and
Eastern. All three now have one
loss apiece, with EMU being
the last one to lose. This gives
the Hurons the bye into the
final game. The cross-state ri-
vals will battle it out tomorrow
night to determine who goes to

the championship match.
Earlier Tom Van Der Meerche
spaced five hits and Arizona
State collected 15 hits to stay
alive in the College World
Series with a 7-0 victory over
Maine.

Sox, pending today's hearing

ers are still officially on the
A's roster (See Page 11).
Arizona State, 65-9, remained
alive for a possible fourth
NCAA crown with a hitting as-
sault that included two runs
batted in each by Brand Hum-
phry and Gary Allenson.
Van Der Meerche, a sopho-
more, w i n n i n g his fifth
straight game, didn't allow a
runner past second base until
the ninth inning. He struck
out seven in running his rec-
ord to 7-4.
With one out in the first in-
ning, Arizona State put together
three consecutive singles anda
sacrifice fly to take a 2-0 lead.
The Sun Devils added two
runs in the third with two sin-
gles and an infield out. Arizona
State added three runs in the
fifth capped hy Allenson's tw-
run douhle.

MIKE COLBERN of Arizona State grimaces as he slides into Maine second baseman Brian
Butterfield during last night's fourth round NCA A College World Series game. The Devils shut
out Maine, 7-0. In other action, previously unbeaten Eastern Michigan lost to Arizona, 11-6.
