Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 10, 1986 I z Batsmen take twinbill from Titans By ADAM OCHLIS There wasn't a game-winning home run, a no-hitter, nor any professional scouts in the stands, but that didn't bother the Wolverine baseball team. In making the routine plays look easy and the harder plays look routine, Michigan swept a pair of games from the University of Detroit, 6-3 and 3-2, yesterday afternoon. Apparently, the Titans have not learned the routine as they committed eight errors to Michigan's one. Only a handful of spectators saw the ninth- ranked Wolverines improve their record to 23-5 at a chilly Ray Fisher Stadium. The Titans dropped to 3-14. IN THE FIRST game, pitcher John Rogers of Detroit and the Wolverines Chris Lutz battled into the third inning without allowing any runs. Then the floodgates opened, as the Titans became inept in the field. With one out and third baseman Jeff Kiel on second, Eddie Woolwine's chopper to third was fielded cleanly by Titan Rick Munson, but he proceeded to throw the ball to Alcatraz putting runners on second and third. Error number one. Casey Close drove Kiel home with a sacrifice fly and Bill St. Peter singled driving in Woolwine. Tom Brock's in- Crash of the Titans nocent fly ball to short right caused a collision between Detroit's second baseman and right fielder as the ball fell in.. St. Peter scored while Brock stopped at second. Error number two. CATCHER Eric Sanders then singled to center and Brock came home when Steve Wujczyk let the ball get past him. Error number three. Shortstop Don Guobis committed the fourth error of the inning on the next batter, but no further damage was done. All three runs were unearned. Lutz, meanwhile, was the recipient of outstanding defensive support as centerfielder Kourtney Thompson made his second diving catch in as many days. Lutz (2-0) struck out five and allowed three hits in four innings. "Chris looked really good," said Sanders. "In the cold weather like this, people tend to be stiff and generally don't want to hit. He just went at them and he threw strikes." THE SECOND game was like the first as the Titans erred three times, including one in the eighth inning to give Michigan the 3-2, extra-inning victory. With one out in the eighth and Wolverines on first and second, Steve Finken hit an easy grounder to second. On what looked to be a sure double play ball, Tom Dimambro failed to get his body in front of the ball, and it wandered into center. As St. Peter reached home with the winning run, he was mobbed by his teammates, who, along with the few fans that remained, headed im- mediately for the heaters. MICHIGAN head coach Bud Mid- daugh said that basic fundamentals cannot be stressed enough. "Maybe they've lost quite a few other games just the way they lost the second one today or the first one," he said. "You kick the ball around like I 4 I Daily Photo by ANDI SCHREIBER Outfielder Tom Brock slides safely into second base following an error by University of Detroit second baseman Tom Dimambro.

"It doesn't matter what kind of ar- senal you have or how many great pitchers you've got, if you don't make the plays, you're not going to win many games making five, six or seven errors." Five pitchers threw for Michigan in the nightcap. Sophomore Mike Ignasiakstarted and pitched effec- tively during his two innings, as the Anchorville native allowed no hits while striking out five. With the cold weather and Mid- daugh's wanting to get a lot of pit- chers some work, Dave Karasinski pitched the third followed by John Grettenberger, Greg Everson and Close. Close (1-0) picked up the win, as he also fanned five in two innings. The Close Watch now stands at nine as Michigan's career home run leader only needs that many appearances to become the Michigan all-time leader in pitching appearances. 4 .... : : : ... ::..:: .... ... ... .... ... .... ... ... . . . : . : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : : . : . : . : . Tigers late rally ruffle s Red Sox, 6-5 By BARB McQUADE Special to the Daily DETROIT - Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd must have been crushed. The Red Sox pitcher was cheated out of a victory by a bumbling Boston bullpen yesterday. The Sox' relievers gave up four Tiger runs in the last three innings, including one on Dave Bergman's two-out single in the 10th, to hand Detroit a 6-5 victory. BERGMAN, pinch-hitting in third baseman Darnell Coles' spot, drove Darrell Evans home on a bases-loaded liner through the right side of the infield. Evans had tied the game a moment earlier with a run-scoring single. The Detroit designated hitter blasted two upper deck homeruns and collected four RBI on the afternoon. Boston had taken a 5-4 lead in its half of the 10th when a Wade Boggs single sent Glenn Hoffman in from second. Boggs, four for six in the contest, also knocked a two-run homer in the third inning.

Frank Tanana started for the Tigers. Boyd, holding Detroit to two runs in seven innings, threw heat despite the 38-degree temperature at game time. The lanky righthander gave up just three hits before he was replaced by Joe Sambito in the eighth. The former Houston Astros' star made a quick exit, lasting all of one- third inning. Sambito got the hook when he surrendered a run on Kirk Gibson's RBI double. Loser Bob Stanley replaced the southpaw, but fared no better. The righthander offered up back-to-back singles to Lance Parrish and Evans, scoring Gibson to tie the game, 4-4.' Stanley lasted until the 10th, when Gibson clubbed a single for his third hit of the day. Steve Crawford came in with the Tiger rightfielder representing the tying run. The Boston hurler gave up two walks and two hits to give Detroit the victory. 4 $57/pr. $45/pr. $67/pr. $97/ pr. $57/pr. $55/pr. $75/pr.

"Now I may be wrong, but I expect our defense to be as good (this year) as last," he said. "If it's not, I'll be up- set." THE COMMENT raised a few eyebrows at the meeting since the defense will have to give up less than 8.1 points and 263 yards per game to make the prediction statistically come true. "Hey, it's the only way to play," Schembechler said. "You can have a great offense, but you don't know when you're going to get the ball? When you have all (the defense), it's a different story."

"I mean, you're talking about three great players. But still, it'll be the same type of defense." So far this spring, the most intense battles for starting spots are at out- side linebacker. Four lettermen - Carl Bostic, Dieter Heren, Tim Schulte and Steve Thibert - all have shots at the two openings. HEREN, NOW fully recovered from the strained knee ligaments he suf- fered against Purdue last November, started the season opener against Notre Dame, but made his fame on special teams where he blocked two field goals and a punt. Thibert played in all twelve games last year and made 16 tackles, in- cluding two sacks. He also started the 4 Notre Dame game. Bostic and Schulte combined for 23 tackles and each recorded a sack. "(THE FOUR) know what's going on," said new Wolverine linebacker coach Tom Reed, the former head coach at North Carolina State. "They have been a great aid to me, believe it or not, in learning and adjusting to the schemes. I don't pretend to know everything and those guys have helped me a lot. 4 "Now on the field, all of them have played, but not regularly. Physically, they're willing and mentally they're willing. Now all we have to do is prac- tice. I like all their chances (for star- ting), but I just can't tell you what we're going to do." Underclassmen Joe Holland, Keith Cooper, John Willingham and Chris Simmons may also make a mark on the linebacking situation. IN OTHER spring football news: " Cam Cameron and Bill Harris are the new full-time assistants on Schembechler's staff. Cameron, 25, will coach the tight ends and Harris, 38, will take care of the wideouts. Harris replaces Bob Thornbladh who went into private business in Tampa, Fla. " In the position change department, quarterback Bob Cernak is now a tight end. According to Schem- bechler, Cernak has beefed up to 225 pounds. Junior Erik Campbell moved from wideout to safety, the position he played his freshman year.
