Baseball vs. Bowling Green (DH) Tuesday, 1 p.m. Ray Fisher Stadium SPORTS NCAA Hockey Final F Thursday-Saturday Joe Louis Arena 0 P The Michigan Daily 'M 6 Wednesday, March 25, 1987 beaches Lakers in home opener ur age 9 St Peter, Ignasiak lead Blue By GREG MOLZON, Going into yesterday's home opener against Grand Valley State, Michigan baseball coach Bud Middaugh downplayed his team's abilities despite its 7-2 record. Middaugh admitted then that "coaches are never pleased," but even he had to be impressed after the Wolverines swept the Lakers, 6-1 and 11-2, at Ray Fisher Stadium. Or was he? "Yes and no," said Middaugh. "I felt it was a tough game to evaluate. We took an awful lot of itches, yet we were able to put some points on the board. I thought overall our pitching was pretty good." "Pretty good" is an understatement when describing the performance of pitcher Mike Ignasiak in the opening game. Ignasiak, now 2-2, pitched four perfect innings, had five strikeouts, and never had a ball hit out of the infield. MIDDAUGH considered leaving Ignasiak in due to the perfect game, but the Wolverine coach needed to give his other pitchers some work. "I was very pleased with (my pitching)," said gnasiak. "I wish (Middaugh) would have left me in to see how long I could keep the no-hitter going, but he had to give some other pitchers a shot, too." Replacing Ignasiak, Chris Lutz struck out the first three batters he faced before giving up the Lakers' first hit of the game, a double by Chris Looney in the sixth inning. Looney tagged up and moved to third on an outstanding diving catch by Darrin Campbell in right field and then scored on a single by Dave Ehlert off pitcher Greg Everson, who replaced Lutz. The Wolverines opened the scoring in the fourth inning when Mike Gillette singled in Greg McMurtry, who had doubled and went to third when Rich Samplinski was thrown out at the plate. Michigan scored five more runs in the game, the key hits being triples by Steve Finken and Bill St. Peter in the fifth and a two-run double by St. Peter in the sixth. In the contest, St. Peter went 4-for-4 and had three RBIs, and Campbell and Ed Woolwine each added two singles. WITH SOME wild pitching from Laker pitcher Gary Smith, the Wolverines broke the second game open early. Michigan scored four runs in the first inning on doubles by Finken and Tom Brock, a walk, a hit batsman, and an error. And that was all the scoring the Wolverines would need. They received solid pitching performances from Jim Abbott, Mike Grimes, and Ross Powell who limited the Lakers (5-3) to three hits. Abbott evened his record at 1-1 while pitching foul innings, giving up one hit, and striking out two. The sophomore did get a little wild, walking three batters, but felt he improved on his spring trip showing. "Coach and I have been working, and I felt a lot more comfortable with my motion today than I did down South," said Abbott. The Wolverine hitters added seven more runs late in the game behind a St. Peter double, a triple by Jim Durham, and one of each by Phil Price. After thinking about the two impressive victories for a while, Middaugh finally said, "I thought for the most part, the kids did a pretty good job."

VOns,9-0 o HEALTH & FITNESS 11114) P tnlJRXo 00UU 11 iniiwiigai Wolverine netters shut out Hu By JULIE HOLLMAN Finishing a run of home non- conference matches, the men's tennis team blanked Eastern Michigan, 9-0, yesterday at the Track and Tennis Building. The Imore powerful Wolverines dominated the Hurons across the board as each match ended in straight sets. Wolverine Dan Goldberg, playing in the number-one position for the first time this year, set the pace by quickly disposing of Matt Kuhlman, 6-1, 6-1. Goldberg's steady baseline play, which has helped him gain the 58th national ranking slot, was too much for Kulman to handle. The second singles proved to be more challenging for Michigan's John Royer. EMU's Greg Kennett stayed within one game through most of the first set until Royer pulled out a 6-4 win. After this first set threat, Royer refused to play anymore games and shut out Kennett in the second set, 6-0. IN THE THIRD position, Ed Filer turned in one of his strongest matches of the season defeating EMU's Scott Lyke, 6-1, 6-3. "Ed had his best performance this year," said Michigan head coach Brian Eisner. "He moved well and had near perfect shot selection." On the next court, the fourth rung of the ladder almost split from the constant pounding delivered by Wolverine Jon Morris. The junior dazzled the crowd with a crushing display of strength. He allowed his opponent Dean Dancer one service break before delivering several aces and serving out a 6-3 first set. In the next frame, Morris cranked up the power until he was virtually unhittable and ended his match, 6-1. Brad Koontz continued the wave of dominance cruising through his match, 6-1, 6-0. The last singles to be completed was no more a duel than any other match before it. Wolverine Franz Gieger capitalized on a rare chance to play by rolling over Jim Arvidson, 6-1, 6-3. The high level of play continued into te e oubles as michigan maintained all its leads and captured all three matches. Michael Pizzutello and Chip McColl filled in for Goldberg and Koontz at third doubles and reeled in a convincing 6-1, 6-1 victory. Eisner was pleased with his team's level of improvement. "This match we improved more on movement than in any other match," he explained. If Your Hair Isn't Becoming to You - You Should Be Coming to Us.
