SPORTS Softball doubleheader vs. Detroit 3:00 p.m. today at Varsity Softball Diamond Page 8 Wednesday, April 13, 1983 The Michigan Daily 'M' stops Tartars, 7-3 - By RANDY BERGER It seems as the weather goes so goes the Michigan baseball team. While in Florida, where the sun was hot and golden, the batsmen streaked to an 11-1 record. However, upon arriving back in arctic Ann Arbor, the Wolverines have struggled to beat the likes of Aquinas and Miami. But, yesterday the sun finally appeared and the Wolverines bats came out of hiber- nation to beat Wayne State, 7-3. "WE REALLY haven't been playing up to our potential," said second baseman Jeff Jacobson, who collected two of the team's 12 hits. "Today, we finally played more like a team instead of guys just going out and trying to hit doubles to im- prove their stats." Today Michigan scored its runs in rather textbook fashion, as the batters seemed to toy with the four pitchers the Tar- tars threw at them. The third inning, in which Michigan increased its lead to 3-0 after scoring one in the first, was typical of how the Wolverine hitters handled Wayne State. Speedster shortstop Barry Larkin got things started as he reached first on an error by the Tartar's shortstop James Rodgers. After, Larkin stole second, rightfielder Mike Watters advanced him to third on a grounder back to the mound. Chris Sabo walked 'to put runners on the corners and then Ken Hayward's sharp grounder to first enabled Larkin to score. and Sabo to move to second. THE WHOLE PROCESS started again as Sabo stole third to enable him to score on a Jacobson liner that sneaked un- derneath Rodger's outstretched glove. Michigan added two more in the fourth largely due to a Dale Sklar single and a Watters' double. One run each in the sixth and seventh innings was all the Wolverines needed to coast to their 18th win in 20 games. The Wolverines got some good pitching to go along with their clutch hitting, especially from freshman Scott Kamieniecki who started his first game of the year. Kamieniecki, who has been plagued by injuries since last summer, was satisfied as he pitched a scoreless four innings, allowing only four hits. "I'm pleased in that I didn't give up any runs but I'm still not completely ready," said the freshman from Detroit. "With a couple of more starts I should be up to my potential but right now my arm is only at 80 percent." Jamie Piper relieved Kamieniecki in the fifth and pitched two scoreless innings, good enough to be credited with the win. Gary Wayne finished the game but was rather unim- pressive in giving up three runs in the ninth.

Jake delays By PAUL HELGREN For many undergraduate college baseball players the decision of whether or not to sign a'-professional contract, and thus forego or postpone their senior year in school, is a difficult one to make. For Michigan second basemnan Jeff Jacobson the choice was easy - stay in school. "There really wasn't even a choice for me," the senior co-captain said: "When I came here I decided my goal was.to finish school. I wasn't tempted (to sign) at all." PATIENT seems to be the best word to describe Jacobson's attitude. He knows that at the end of this season he will probably get the same chance to play pro ball that he did last season, with one important exception - he will have his business degree at the con- clusion of this year's college campaign. "I want to play in the pros," Jacobson said. "That's every kid's dream, to play baseball. But if I don't make it I'll have my degree to fall back on." If Jacobson is patient about his chan- ce to play in the big leagues, coach Bud Middaugh was equally patient in bringing Jacobson along. Middaugh started Jacobson most of his freshman season. Although the Glenview, Ill. native was outstanding in the field, he struggled at times with the bat, hitting only .236. Middaugh, though, was not worried. jump to pros "I think the plan was to work on my RBIs with 23, hitting .328, and holding a fielding my first year, then my hitting .970 fielding percentage.

Panetta, a sophomore from St. Clair Shores, was three for four at the plate with five runs batted in. One of the shortstop's hits was a three-run inside-the-park homer in the fourth inning to open the scoring. THE THREE runs were all Boyd needed. The senior hurler, now 8-7 on the season, struck out seven while giving up only four hits and one walk in recording the victory. The second game did not turn out so well for the Wolverines. With the score tied at one, and two on and two out in the seventh inning, Karen Pollard's error allowed the Tartars an extra chance. Carol Krause tookadvantage of the bases-loaded situation by stroking a game-winning single. Krause knocked in both of Wayne State's runs in the game.

Tigers 13, Yankees 2 NEW YORK (UPI) - The Detroit Tigers turned Billy Martin's homecoming into a wake yesterday. Backed by a 16-hit attack that in- cluded four hits and three RBIs by Tom Brookens and three hits and three RBIs by Glenn Wilson, the Tigers crushed the THE CROWD gave Martin a standing ovation when he was introduced before the game, but by the end of the contest all the cheers had turned to boos for the Yankees, who played like Charlie Brown's All-Stars. "I was touched by the ovation I received," said Martin, who is begin- ning his thi d term as Yankee manager.

"It's not going to bother the Yankees if they lost 13-2 or 2-1. We played bad for three straight days and today we played like we did the first two days in Minnesota." Brookens had two singles, a double and a home run and Wilson had a single, double and triple as the Tigers pounded Ron Guidry, 0-2, and helped Dan Petry to his second victory in as many decisions. Petry scattered eight hits over eight innings with Juan Berenguer pitching the ninth. Shotokan karate club kicks it in . By MIKE REDSTONE With the multitude of martial arts clubs at Michigan, one would think that the American Karate and Judo clubs wouldgather up most of the local mar- tial arts enthusiasts. The Shotokan Karate club, however, has been active for over eight years and currently has a membership of about 25. What exactly is Shotokan karate anyway? "It is a Japanese system of karate which puts equal emphasis on hand and foot coordination," according to club founder Dewight Deroo. "It basically differs from other forms of karate from the standpoint that the instructors dif- fer in their philosophies toward the art and usually keep a very strict at- mosphere in the class." In addition to training at the CCRB three times a week, the club has travelled around the Midwest to par- ticipate in exchange training programs. The club starts training at the begin- A M I C H I G A N COME SEE ANTHONY CARTER and THE PANTHERS Sunday, April 17 PONTIAC SILVERDOME TICKETS ONLY $6* (includes free pancake breakfast) ~..... a .......

Everyone, including beginners, is welcome to come out and join the club at the beginning of next semester, ac- cording to Deroo.
