Women's Tennis vs. OSU Saturday, 3:00 p.m. Varsity Tennis Courts SPORTS Softball vs. WMU Today, 3:30 p.m. Varsity Softball Diamond The Michigan Daily Thursday, April 12, 1984 Page 11 Batsmen sac By CHRISTOPHER GERBASI Siena Heights tried its hand at acting yesterday, performing Shakespeare's "A Comedy of Errors," and before the final curtain fell at Ray Fisher Stadium, Michigan swept a doubleheader from the Saints, 5-4, in eight innings, and 9-3. Siena committed three miscues in the opener, including a crucial throwing error that gave the Wolverines a tem- porary lead, and, for an encore, booted five balls in the second act. "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS when your starters are hurt," said Siena's director Rusty Frank. "Our shortstop (Denny Kiel) was hurt and we had to play people out of position." The kindly Saints lived up to their nickname, bestowing two victories to a Michigan lineup that lacked timely hit- N things in general and I thought this was a good time." One Wolverine who has been popping the ball is shortstop Barry Larkin. Larkin's been on a tear lately and his 4- for-7 performance in the twinbill boosted his season average to .463. The shortstop's biggest hit came in the sixth inning of game one. Pinch-hit- ter Kurt Zimmerman was hit by a pitch and a passed ball by Siena catcher John Brooks advanced both runners. LARKIN THEN LOFTED a double down the rightfield line to score Zim- merman, and when rightfielder John Clark's throw missed the cuttoff man, both Froning and Larkin raced home. The error put Michigan in front but the lead was short-lived. The Saints loaded the bases against lefty Dave Karasinski, who had entered in the fourth to relieve starter John Gretten- berger. Karasinski was then removed in favor of righty Casey Close to face Siena's second baseman Phil Woolsey, who bats from the right side. The strategy backfired, however, when Woolsey lined Close's first pitch to cen- ter field to score the two runners, who were greeted by an exuberant Siena bench. CLOSE AVOIDED further trouble in the seventh and eighth and also played a role in the Wolverines' winning rally. Larkin led off the eighth with a walk rifice and was forced at second by Ken Hayward. Close then singled to set the stage for Jeff Minick. Minick had struck out twice against starter Brett Steele, but this time he was up against reliever Jeff Arnston. With the outfield playing shallow, Minick drilled a fastball over the cen- terfielder's head to score Hayward with the winning run. Close, picked up the victory to raise his record to 3-2. Karasinski struck out five in 31/3 in- nings, but walked four, and Gretten- berger was tagged for four extra base hits in the first three innings. "Our pitching has been pretty iffy," said Middaugh. "Grettenberger couldn't get his curveball over and they were waiting on his fastball. I took him out because I knew we wouldn't get much off of him (Steele)." The second win came much easier. Crucified Saints Leading 3-1, Michigan broke the game open in the fifth, scoring four times, highlighted by two passed balls, an error by shortstop Ken Groch and a two-run triple to left center by Close. Bill Shuta pitched five strong innings to run his record to 4-0. Shuta allowed only three hits and one run, which came on a bases-loaded walk.

The Wolverines collected only six hits in the first game and nine in the night- cap and coach Bud Middaugh was bothered enough to hold a 45-minute post-game meeting as well as extra bat- ting practice. "I'M NOT HAPPY with the way we've been swinging the bat," said Middaugh. "(The practice) is to get them popping the ball a bit.

Buckeye nabbed for COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Charges of criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, have been filed against Troy Taylor, an Ohio State University basketball guard, campus police at the Big Ten Conferen- ce school said yesterday. Ohio State police officer Deborah L. Selby said she watched Taylor, 21, a junior from Canton, Ohio, kick and crack ;door glass in St. John Arena, hours before the Buckeyes played Michigan Feb. 25. University police estimated the damage to the cracked glass at $145. Selby said Taylor then went to the university's ice rink next door and ob- tained a key to get into the basketball arena. Taylor has pleaded innocent. His at- torney, John W. E. Bowen, has asked for a non-jury trial. The case has been assigned to Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Steve B. Hayes. The criminal mischief charge carries a penalty of 60 days in jail or a $500fine. fice0f Ffrfaciad Aid FALL & WINTER, 1984-85 APPLICATION DEADLINE MONDAY, APRIL 16, 1984 crimin al mischief 2011 S.A.B.

Call us!, 763-6600 By SUSAN BROSER Mobs of people rush through the gates of the Michigan football stadium every fall to see the Wolverines in action. But where are those people at rugby mat- ches, the sport that was invented before football? Rugby, which is more popular in the east, is still alive and well in Michigan. Michigan's rugby club, which, due to its non-varsity status, does not get much recognition, is worth taking a look at. Last week Michigan beat Palmer of Iowa, the number one team in the Midwest, and this past weekend, Michigan overwhelmed Indiana 25-0. RUGBY, THE SPORT that resem- bles a continuous option football game, is a physical, action-filled event. Dave Weber, captain and coach of the team, feels that the sport is gaining more popularity. "The team has doubled in size in the eight years that I have been here," said Weber. "There are a lot more younger people playing and more university students." The club is divided up into four dif- ferent levels. The more advanced players are in level "A." As the players improve, they have the opportunity to move up. Both graduate and un- dergraduate students compete and anyone who has a desire to play is welcome to try out. AFTER BEATING Indiana, Michigan now has a record of 3-0. If the Wolverines continue to play well, there may be a chance to qualify for the Nationals. Two years ago Michigan came in second in that tournament behind the University of California. Individuals also can go to the Nationals. Last year, Michigan's John Hartman made the select twenty-two man U.S. team. "It was great," Hartman said. "We stayed at a three-day camp in San Francisco and then we went to Australia, all for free. They even gave us spending money during the day." ALTHOUGH THE participants say that Fugby is fun to play, it is also a very physical sport. Weber feels it is not unlike most contact sports. "In rubgy, there are no more injuries than in soccer, and less than in foot- ball," the captain said. "So far we have not had any serious injuries." The team practices twice a week and plays tournaments on the weekends. Ken Hawks, a three year player, feels that there is more to rubgy than just the matches. "We all have a good time playing the games but it, is also a good time when the games are over," he said. "When we travel on the weekends to other schools, we usually go out with the team afterwards. It's all very social." Sooner Or Later You'll Get Responsibility Like This.
