Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April1 WSU wil By GARY EFFMAN It took the Wolverine football team nearly two mon- ths to get in seven games, the basketball team clocked in a little quicker at just under a month with the Icers skating close behind. None of those teams, however, can touch the sprinter of the big four sports, the Michigan baseball team. After a four game series this past weekend, the Wolverines had only yesterday to rest up before opening up a quick three game stint at Fisher Stadium beginning today with single contest against Wayne State University and ending with a doubleheader Wednesday against Sienna Heights. College. THE THREE games lead Michigan into its con- ference opener this weekend against Indiana in Bloomington. The upcoming series is proving to be a major factor in Michigan coach Bud Middaugh's strategy for today's games. "We'll go out there and try to beat them," said Middaugh, "but I'm going to try and get some players in who haven't gotten that much playing time thus far. We're still not set as a team."' Neither Wayne State nor Siena College come into 10, 1984 l see nine's depth Il Ann Arbor with much to boast about. WSU's Tartars have compiled a 6-3 record playing out of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and Siena's Saints have found themselves with little divine inspiration, compiling only five wins against eight losses. Siena College does have one pitcher on their staff, Kris Hogensen (3-0), who reportedly has been scouted by a few pro teams. I'm going to try and get some players in who haven't gotten much playing time thus far. We're still not set as a team.' looking for a fourth starter for this weekend," said Middaugh. "I think we're going to have Disher throw against Wayne State. He hasn't pitched since the spring trip and I'd like to see what he can do. "I'm going to hold our better pitchers so they can throw this weekend. I might get them in for an inning or two just to keep them sharp," Middaugh ex- plained. Middaugh however may be forced to call in his aces for more than just an inning. "In the past we've been able to do pretty well against Wayne State . . . but we've had our problems . . . Usually they come out ready to play and we face their best pitching." Besides another three W's in the won-loss columns, Middaugh also hopes the team can find a little more balance during the three home games. "I'm still looking for people who can play solid defensively and still give us some offensive punch. Our hitting still isn't that strong," he said. Michigan's ability to experiment in the next three games against potentially dangerous guinea pigs in WSU and Siena Heights will show how well balanced a team the Wolvernes will bring into their drive for a repeat performance as Big Ten Champions. -Coach Bud Middaugh THUS MIDDAUGH has room to try out new players, but even he admits that he's not sure how much. "I don't have any information on Siena, so I don't really know what they'll be like," he said. One problem area Middaugh hopes to work out against WSU and Siena is the pitching staff.

Tom Michno then took the mound for the Hurons and shut the Wolverines down for the rest of the game. SLOPPY WAS the name of the game in the second contest, as both teams ran into pitching problems early before Wolverine Ken Hayward and Huron Todd Haylett took to the mound in the third inning and pitched decent games. Hayward, who picked up his third win of the season against one loss, got into slight trouble in the sixth when he allowed a pair of runs on three singles and an error by shortstop Barry Larkin. Wolverine catcher Eric Sanders clubbed a single with one out in the bot- tom of the seventh to bring Chris Gust home from third with the deciding run. Gust had walked, was balked to second by Haylett and went to third on Minick's groundout. Sander's single was the first hit Haylett had given up since entering the game. A grand-slam home run by Eastern's Ron Goble highlighted a wild first two innings which saw the lead see-saw back and forth before Michigan came out on top, 7-6.

G 2 8 3 6 1 4 1 6 4 By PHIL NUSSEL One streak ended and one streak con- tinued Sunday in Bloomington for the 'women's tennis team. Unfortunately, the streak that ended belonged to the Wolverines. Indiana defeated Michigan 6-2, to end the Wolverines' eight-game, one-month winning string. It was the second Hoosier win over Michigan this year. The streak that continued belonged to first singles player Mary Mactaggart, who scored a key 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 victory over Tracy Hoffman. The win, Mac- taggart's eighth in a row, put the senior in contention for a second NCAA singles bid to add to the one she received her sophomore year. MACTAGGART'S match ended with her winning the tiebreaker, 12-10. "I was dying," Mactaggart said. "It (the match) was so long. Every point had 50 shots go over the net." Mactaggart, now 16-6 overall and 5-0 in the Big Ten, defeated Hoffman earlier'this season when the teams met in Ann Arbor. The only other Michigan win belonged to Paula Reichert at second singles. She downed Wendy Allen 6-2, 6- 3. The win raised Reichert's record to 13-9 overall and 4-1 in the Big Ten. MICHIGAN failed to win a single set after the first two singles positions. Juliet Naft, at third singles, and Karen Milczarski, at fourth, fell 6-3, 6-4, and 7- 6, 6-3 respectively. The two both won in the last match against the Hoosiers. Despite the loss, which concluded a grueling seven-match road trip, head coach Ollie Owens was happy. "We. played pretty well - about as well as we could," he said. "It was a big, big win for Mary for her bid to the NCAA's. Paula is really on a roll." The Wolverines are now 10-7 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten. They have the week off until Saturday when Ohio State comes to town for a 3 p.m. match. MICHIGAN ...............24 OPPONENTS..............24 I7 Lacy will head to Chiefs in '84 KANSAS CITY, Mo.

Perez walks ATLANTA (AP) - A tearful Pascual Perez was preparing to leave the Dominican Republic yesterday after a6 three-month stay in prison, but when the ace right-handed pitcher would be able to rejoin the Atlanta Braves was uncertain. Perez was released from Fort San Luis prison in Santiago, where he had been held since Jan. 9 following his arrest on drug charges. ALTHOUGH he originally was charged with felony trafficking of drugs, Perez was convicted March 23 of a reduced charge of cocaine possession, the equivalent of a misdemeanor. "I'm all choked up," the 26-year-old Perez said as he left the prison yester- day when prosecutors decided not to appeal the case. "I knew I wouldn't be let down, and I won't let down the people who supporO ted me," the tearful Perez said as he was joined by his wife and several family members. Perez's return to the Braves however, remained in doubt. First, baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said he wanted to meet with Perez when the pitcher returns to the United States.
