What more could one ask for? A no-hitter for openers, if you're Wolverine baseball coach Bud Middaugh. That's exactly what Middaugh received in yesterday's home opener against the Grand Valley Lakers. Senior Scott Kamieniecki and fresh- man Jim Abbott combined for a no- hitter in the first game of the (loubleheader as the Wolverines won, -0. Michigan completed a near- perfect afternoon with a 6-2 win in the second game. KAMIENIECKI and Abbott showed none of the problems which plagued hem on Michigan's nine game southern trip. Although their respec- tive earned run averages prior to the game were 5.40 and 10.90, both were untouchable yesterday. Kamieniecki tossed the first three innings of the no-hitter, striking out four. The only blemishes on the senior's effort were three harmless kwalks. The free passes were spaced over three separate innings; however, and the runners could only sit on base as Kamieniecki forced the Lakers to hither strike out or ground out. Only one ball left the infield during Kamieniecki's stay on the mound. Nothing escaped the infield when Abbott took over. The hard-throwing southpaw avoided any jitters or mechanical problems that he may have encountered down south. Abbott faced a minimum number of batters during his stint, striking out four along the way. * "IT'S HIS best performance that he's had," said Middaugh. "He was on the plate (whereas) he was a little wild down south. We feel we've been able to make some corrections and he's responded pretty well in his mechanics, and he started pitching with a little confidence today. "I think that is more of the Jim Ab- bott that we're going to see." Middaugh was equally pleased with Kamieniecki's performance. The senior missed much of the 1985 cam- ign because of a sore shoulder, and Middaugh remained cautiously op- timistic about his pitcher's continued health. "IT'S GOOD to get him out and throw because he'll come back again on Friday. He just needs to get some innings. We didn't throw him that much down south, so we were taking it a little easier with him hoping he'll continue to improve and be with us down the stretch," said Middaugh. The performances of Kamieniecki and Abbot left Grand Valley coach Andy Chopp thinking they were anything but an injured senior and a jittery freshman. The pair left Chopp shaking his head and rollng his eyes. "Jesus," he said, "Those are two good pitchers." THE whitewashing in the first game left Chopp searching for any method to create offense in the second game. "We made an adjustment in bet- ween games of concentrating on getting the barrel of the bat out in front," said the Lakers' coach. "I was trying to get in their minds the at- titude of trying to pull the ball, so that made them quicken up at the plate." The Lakers responded with several hard-hit balls early in the game. By. the second inning they had slapped the ball out of the infield three times and had also come up with a hit. Both numbers exceeded those of the first game. By the third, Grand Valley had scored a run, and things were all tied up at Ray Fisher Stadium. THEN THE Wolverines offense went to work. Billy St. Peter nailed a single through the left-side hole. Steve Finken then poked a single under the glove of Lakers' second baseman Tom Regan, and center fielder Scott Near- pass bobbled the ball, allowing St. Peter to advance to third. Chris Gust singled home St. Peter, and a ground-out by Kurt Zimmer- man left runners on second and third. Finken scored on Ken Good's wild pit- ch, and after Casey Close walked, Hal Morris nailed a first-pitch single to drive in Gust. The three runs on four singles was typical of the day's scoring. The Wolverines biggest blast of the day was a two-run double, and the Lakers could manage nothing more than a single. A stiff wind blowing from cen- ter to right posed as much of a problem to the batters as any pitcher. "It's tough to swing the bat this time of year," said Middaugh. "I thought they (the hitters) were aggressive, but not near as aggressive as they would be, I think , if the temperature were another twen- ty degrees warmer." Scott Kamieniecki and Jim Abbott had no complaints about any problems the hitters may have en- countered.

Polling Sites 6th By LISA PUTANS Western Michigan battled to a tight 5-4 victory over the women's tennis team Saturday. Although coach Bitsy Ritt was -disappointed with the loss, she was pleased with her team's performance. "The match could easily have gone either way," Ritt said, as each of Michigan's individual losses came af- ter three sets. THE disappointment began early for the Wolverines when the first three singles players . succumbed to Western. Paula Reichert was defeated by Maria Whitfield 6-3, 5-7, 6- 7 (4-7), at first singles. Tina Basle lost to Jan Weigand in the second singles match, 2-6, 6-4, 4-6, and at third *ingles Leslie Mackey was defeated by Sonya Garshnek, 2-6, 6-4, 0-6. Hope was restored to the Wolverines starting with number four 4ingles as they recorded three straight victories. Tricia Horn and Erin Ashare at fourth and sixth singles, respectively, each played "good tennis" in their wins, according to Ritt. Horn defeated Sheri Birndorf, 6-2, 7-6, (8-6), while Ashare easily handled Stephanie Schjulte, 6-1, 6-0. At number five singles Monica Bor- cherts took a difficult win from Sherry Collins, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6, (7-5). "Monica played extremely well under pressure in her 7-6 third set," commented Ritt, "she did a great job." Ritt was not so pleased with the per- formance of her doubles teams. Reichert and Basle lost to Whitfield and Garshnek, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, and the Mackey-Lynne Wise combination lost 0-6, 6-4, 2-6, at second doubles. Horn and Ashare pulled out a victory, defeating Weigand and Schulte, 7-5, 7- 5. "Our doubles teams have been a problem for us," said Ritt, "but we will stay optimistic and hope to get more breaks in the future." kNucio Tuesday Fishbowl 9AM-3PM MLB 9AM-2PM Michigan Union (MUG) 1 I AM - 2 PM 6 PM - 8 PM Graduate Library 7- 10 PM Undergraduate Library 2:30 - 4:30 PM Law Library 7-9 PM East Engine 9AM-2PM Business (lounge) 7PM-10PM Dow Building 9AM-2PM East Quad 12PM-4PM South Quad 4:30 - 8 PM Mosher-Jordan 4:30 - 5:30 PM Couzens 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM Bursley 4:30PM-7PM West Quad 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM Dental School I1 AM - noon Med Library 7 PM - 10 PM Wednesday Fishbowl 9AM-4PM MLB 9AM-2PM Michigan Union (MUG) 1 AM - 2 PM Undergraduate Library 7 PM - 9 PM Law School, room 100 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM East Engineering 9AM-2PM Frieze 11 AM - 1 PM Business (lounge) 1IAM -2 PM Dow 9AM-2 PM Markley 4:30OPM-8 PM Alice Lloyd 4:30 PM- 5:30 PM West Quad 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM Public Health 11AM -2 PM ideo service center * Complete audio and video service.
