Page 12-- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 15, 1987 I)oggej Ferris State pitchers shut down 'M' offense in doubleheader split Daily Photo by JOHN MUNSON Wolverine first baseman Phil Price avoids being picked off in the first game of a doubleheader against Ferris State yesterday. Michigan won the first game, 3-2. Blackhawks in for shakeup By ADAM SCHEFTER After the Michigan baseball team luckily beat the Ferris State Bulldogs in the first game of yesterday's doubleheader, 3-2, the players covered the field with a tarpaulin. They should have never bothered to take it off. The Wolverines were routed in the second game, 7-2, by a combination of brilliant pitching and poor defense. Still, head coach Bud Middaugh isn't worried. "Baseball's funny," Middaugh said. "You go through different kinds of streaks. I'm not concerned because I know the guys will continue to work. I'd hate to be the club we play when we put it together." YESTERDAY the Wolverines definitely did not have it together. Senior southpaw Craig Etelamaki silenced the Wolverine bats in the second game, going the distance, giving up only four hits along the way. "After the first game I figured there was no pressure because we were playing Michigan," Etelamaki said. "We're not expected to win. I just went out there and did my best. Things were working." His cause was greatly aided in the second inning when his team went on to score three runs without even getting a hit. Pitcher Chris Starr and shortstop Steve Finken, with their pitching and defense, provided the Bulldogs offense. Todd Schultz and Mark Chambers led off the inning with walks. Chuck Morgan then laid down a sacrifice bunt to the right side of the pitching mound. Starr fielded the ball cleanly and gambled by trying to nab the runner at third. The gamble failed and Ferris State had the bases loaded with no out. THEN CAME defensive breakdown number two - after Steve Micketti struck out for the first out, Keith Dutkiewicz grounded a perfect doubleplay ball to Finken at short. Unfortunately, the junior was unable to come up with the ball, and the Bulldogs had a 1-0 lead. With the bases still loaded, Bob Kochie walked, adding another run, and Larry Martin then lofted a sacrifice fly to right for the three- run lead. Ferris State added to that lead in the fourth when Chuck Morgan tagged a Starr two-strike fastball, sending it over the wall in left. Before the inning was up, two more runs had come in and the Bulldogs had all they needed. "Ferris State played really well," Middaugh said. "I thought they outplayed us in the opener also. We were fortunate to win one of the two." , THE WOLVERINES eeked out a win in the first game compliments of Bulldog blunders and the standout pitching of lefty Ross Powell. Ferris State jumped out in front in the second when Schultz singled, went to second on a groundout and scored on a single by Morgan. The one-run deficit was erased in the third by ,Bo's boys. Greg McMurtry walked and Mike Gillete followed with a single, putting runners at first and second. Chris Gagin capitalized on the situation, hitting a double over the rightfielder's head. Ferris State defensive lapses ensued. In the fifth, with Gillete on third and Finken on first, the Wolverines tried a double steal. When catcher John Faccio caught the ball, he attempted to trick Gillete by throwing the ball to second base. The fielder was supposed to be able to fire the ball back home to pull out the play. Unfortunately for Faccio and Ferris State, the ball sailed into right- center field, allowing both runner4 to cross the plate. "It was supposed to be a trap," Faccio said. "We had the guy off third, but I just overthrew it. The ball kept rising. It was my fault." THE BULLDOGS had a chance to redeem their mistakes in the last inning. After a bunt single by Faccio and a walk by Schultz, Kent Baker laid down a successful sacrifice bunt to put runners at second and third. With the tying run in scoring position, Chuck Morgan hit a grounder to Finken at short, who held the runner at second and threw to Phil Price at first for the out. Schultz hesitated on the grounder, then decided to go to third and was caught dead by a Price throw to Bill St. Peter. Still, the Bulldog head coach was please with his team's performance. "Our men rose to the occasion," said head coach Jud Folske. "It was tough for our men not to get down after that first lost, but they didn't. I'm proud of them." The Wolverines will try to get back on the winning track today with a doubleheader at Eastern. CHICXGO (AP) - The Chicago Blackhawks, embarrassed by losing four straight games in the NHL playoffs to Detroit, are in for an overhaul that includes a new coach. "I think we will have a major shakedown," team owner Bill Wirtz said Tuesday. "Our fans deserve better than they got at the end of this season." The Blackhawks fell in a three- game sweep to Toronto in the playoffs last season when the first round was best-of-five. This season, they lost four consecutive games in the best-of-seven format to the Red Wings. WIRTZ said Bob Pulford, who compiled a 158-155-62 coaching record during parts of the past six seasons, will stay on for an 11th season as general manager but will not return as coach. Pulford had announced earlier he did not want to remain behind the bench. "Bob coached this year with the understanding it would be his last year as coach," Wirtz said. The Blackhawks owner said said he did not think the dual role of coach and general manager bogged Pulford down, and said he still considers Pulford "one of the best three coaches" in the league. "Bob doesn't have to prove himself," Wirtz said. "It takes 20 players to win in the playoffs." Wirtz said he plans to look outside the organization for a new coach - a move that would seem to eliminate current co-coach Roger Neilson and Hawk captain Darryl Sutter. "There are a lot of coaches who won't get out of their contracts until after the playoffs," Wirtz said. "We've started making a list of people we'd like to consider." Wirtz declined to discuss specific players he might trade but said goaltending would be a top priority.
