SPORTS The Michigan Daily Thursday, April 16, 1981 'M' baismen sweep WMU By JOHN KERR Special to the Daily KALAMAZOO-The Michigan Wolverines.avenged a pair of one-run defeats as they combined fine pit- ching and powerful hitting to sweep a doubleheader rom the Western Michigan Broncos here yesterday. he Wolverines took the opener 6-2 and rallied for an 8-2 victory in the nightcap. The Broncos had defeated Michigan 4-3 and 6-5 earlier last week. With the doubleheader sweep, Michigan now stands at 18-11. Western dropped to 18- 10, "WE HAD GOOD hitting, pitching and good defen- se," said Wolverine Coach Bud Middaugh, "and when you have those three you're going to win. We started playing well against Ohio State last weekend and put it all together today," he said. Michigan centerfielder Greg Schulte led the Wolverines' offensive show by going 3-4 with a double, a triple and a home run, scoring three runs and knocking in four more iri the twinbill, Catcher John Young added some fireworks of his own as he belted a grand slam in the second game. In the opening frame, Michigan received a solid pitching performance from freshman Bill Shuta (3- 1). Shuta went the distance, giving up seven -hits and striking out two. THE WOLVERINES wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as Shulte took the second pitch of the first game and sent it up the alley in right center for a triple. Tony Evans then hit a sacrifice fly to score Schulte. Michigan held a 2-0 lead after three innings when Western closed the gap to 2-1 when Bronco pit- cher Jim Schneider homered off Shuta. Michigan, however, answered the Broncos by tallying three runs in its half of the fourth. With the bases loaded, Schulte drilled a double to right center clearing the bases and making the score 5-1. Schulte tried to stretch the hit to a triple but was thrown out at third. Western added its final run in the bottom of the fourth and Michigan closed out the scoring with a run in the top of the fifth. SCHULTE, CHRIS Sabo, and Rich Bair each had two hits in the opener for Michigan. Schulte also collected three RBIs. In the second contest, Western jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead on the Wolverines in the first inning when Bronco first baseman Mark Gerard sent one of Michigan starter Jim Bartlett's pitches over the rightfield fence for a two-run homer. Unfortunately for the Broncos, that was all the scoring they could muster off three Wolverines pit- chers. Bartlett was relieved after two innings by Steve Ontiveros (2-2) who got the victory. Ontiveros came out after the fifth and Scott Elam finished out the ballgame with two solid innings of work. THE WOLVERINES broke the ballgame open in the bottom of the third when they scored five runs off Western reliever Terry Schalk. The clincher came with bases loaded and two outs when Young drilled a Schalk pitch over the 375-foot mark into right field for a grand slam. Michigan added two more runs in the fourth on a Schulte home run and RBI single by Sabo, and one more in the fifth when Young scored from third while Jeff Jacobson was hitting into a double play.

As a matter of fact, he's been 6 running around the world. The former Wolverine trackster has made a spot for himself in the running world. In 1979, as a member of they United States indoor track team, Donakowski competed in the dual track meet at Houston where the U.S. defeated Russia. THE SAME YEAR he qualified as a member of the United States cross country team and flew to Ireland to compete in the World Championship. The Americans managed to finish seventh. The trackster did qualify for the 1980 Olympic trials, however he failed to advance past his preliminary heat. ;Donakowski has just recently retur- ned from Spain where the national team competed in the World Cham- pionships. The United States placed second out of the 35 teams competing, while the Michigan alum finished the meet at 18. DONAKOWSKI'S FUTURE is somewhat uncertain at this point in time. After graduating from Michigan, the Dearborn Heights native started working with an architectural firm. But according to his former cross country coach Ron Warhurst, he wasn't very happy with his career and has since returned to Michigan and will receive a second degree in engineering. The distance runner is now planning to move to Long Beach, California and The letterman in both track and cross country also claimed three Big Ten titles. In 1977, he was the cross country champion, then in 1978 he captured the 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter titles. DESPITE ALL, HIS records and titles, Donakowski claims that his most memorable occasion was "being chosen captain of the team by the fellow members. "Being on a team that won the Big Ten championship, getting a bunch of people with a common goal and seeing Sr Dave Rozema scattered six leading the Detroit Tigers to a tory over Kansas City at Stadium last night. hits in 4-0 vic- Royals is contemplating retiring for a year. Donakowski is also unsure about his future goals. Though the 1984 Olympics are on the horizon he admits that, "It's a long haul - there was a lot of frustration at the Olympic trials or whatever they were, I'm not sure it would be worth it when a government; can just do what it did (withdrawing from the Olympics)." THOUGH WHAT LIES ahead of him is uncertain, Donakowski has nothing but the fondest memories of the past. While on the track team, he managed to claim two outdoor school records which he still holds. His time of 13.39.3 in the 5,000 meter run and 28:25.8 for the 10,000 meter have yet to be touched by any other Wolverine since. The shutout was Rozema's first of the season in as many outings and gave the Tigers their second consecutive win over the defending American League champions. RICK PETERS LED off the game with a double and eventually scored on Steve Kemp's RBI single to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Detroit added two more runs in the second when Al Cowens tripled home John Wockenfuss and Peters knocked in Cowens with an RBI single. Kemp's second RBI came in the eighth when he singled home Lou' Whitaker from second. Larry Gura started and took the loss for the Royals. His record dropped to 0- 2 on the season. Tiger Lance Parrish was ejected from the game in the bot- tom of the ninth when he argued a call with home plate umpire Mike Reilly. _ ,: K KAMAKAZE AND PITCHER NIGHT LIVE ENTERTAINMENT BY SEMBLANCE * ix a, -**f*,I 1. . ZYJEWSKI STAFF STOPPER: Pitchig keys women By JIM DWORMAN Much like a goalie in hockey, a softball pitcher on a hot streak can often carry a team through a tournament, With both the Big Ten and state tourneys rapidly approaching, the success of the Michigan softball team could rest in the hands of its pitching staff. Going into this weekend's Big Ten championships in Evanston, pitchers Laura Reed, Sandy Taylor and Julie Zyjewski have combined for an earned run average of only 1.50 runs per game. And that's less than one-third of the 4.72 figure com- piled by their opponents. OF THE THREE hurlers, it will probably be Zyjewski (5-2) who will be given the 0starting assignment in the tournament opener against Ohio State because she is, according to coach Bob DeCarolis, the hot pitcher. "Julie pitched really well last weekend (she gave up only one run in 13 innings pitched) and we'll open with her this weekend," said DeCarolis. "If she looks good and feels strong we'll come back with her in the second game." Possessing a sixty miles-per-hour fastball, Zyjewski has shown tremendous im- provement over last year, especially in her control. Harder concentration and ad- ded confidence have aided Zyjewski in lowering her walks to strikeouts ratio from .85 last year to .61 in 1981. DECAROLIS DESCRIBES her improvement as a maturation process. "When I she was a freshman, she was a thrower-all fastballs. Now she sets people up for her fastall with her rise and curve. She's becoming a pitcher." If Zyjewski cannot do the job against the Bucks, then DeCarolis will look to Reed to come out of the bullpen because "she can throw strikes." Reed, a junior microbiology major, has rebounded from two in- jury-plagued seasons to become the leader of the staff. She has pitched more innings (50.1), thrown more complete games (7), struck out more batters (31) and given up fewer walks (11) than either Zyjewski or Taylor. Reed (4-3) also k* possesses the lowest ERA (1.25) of theythree. ROUNDING OUT the staff is Taylor, a sophomore who splits time between the mound and second base. Zyjewsk She has also shown considerable im- ... staff ace pr:vement over last year, dropping her ERA from 2.06 to 1.47. Donakowski ... takes time off it through," according to Donakowski, was his most cherished remembrance of Michigan track. Donakowski has not totally alienated himself from University athletics. While remaining in Ann Arbor, Warhurst has still been acting as his trainer. Another way he is able to keep tabs on the track team is through his younger brother, Gerald, who is proving to be as big of an asset to the Wolverines as his older brother. The senior Donakowski has discovered that his Wolverine background will follow him everywhere. While running in Houston, cries of "Go Blue" were heard from the stands. "I was just really surprised - I was amazed," said Donakowski.
