Page 14 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 19, 1989 'M' Softballers sweep U-D; Toledo comes to town in matchup of pitchers BY JONATHAN SAMNICK In today's softball action at the Varsity Diamond, Michigan takes on the University of Toledo in a doubleheader. Both teams are coming off sweeps in yesterday's games. While Michigan swept the University of Detroit, Toledo took two from Bowling Green 7-2 and 4-0. The Rockets come into today's having won 11 out of their last 12 against Mid-American Conference teams. Toledo is led by sophomore centerfielder Leigh Ross. She's hitting .412 while both leading her team and the conference. Their other top hitter is frosh Lydia Keresztesi, who is hitting .337 while holding down the shortstop position. Keresztesi is one of five rookies to compete this year. "Our freshman as of late have been performing as if they've been playing at their positions forever," Toledo coach Sheryl Sprangel said. The Rockets are 22-15 overall and are in first place in the MAC with a 14-4 record. Michigan is 28-12 and ranked second in their region, while Toledo is ranked fourth. The Wolverines are anchored by the strong pitching of sophomore Andrea Nelson who pitched a one-hitter against the University of Detroit. Nelson is seven wins short of overtaking Vicky Morrow, to become the winningest Wolverine pitcher in a season. Toledo will start frosh Christin Chadwick in today's first game. She has 66 strikeouts in 80 innings and a 0.70 ERA. "I'm not taking anything away from them(Michigan)beating the University of Detroit, but the University of Detroit is not a very strong team," Sprangel said. "I think both games (today) will be competitive one- run ball games." Toledo next Team moves to 28-12 as Nelson, Allard win I Is ws BY JONATHAN SAMNICK Before the University of Detroit came to play Michigan, the Wolverines softball team's hitting had been ailing. Yesterday, the Titans proved to be just what the doctor ordered, as Michigan swept both games 3-0 and 6-2. In the first game Andrea Nelson broke a personal two game losing streak as she threw a one-hit shutout in the 3-0 win. University of Detroit coach Nick Stann was encouraged by his team's performance. "I thought that we were able to be competitive," Stann said. "To hang in there and not get blown out. (We didn't) fall apart after they scored some runs on us which is encouraging "You're looking at a couple of schools with major, major, budget differences. You know all we have is our heart and pride to come out here and play." I ALEXANDRA BREZ/Dolly Bridget Fitzpatrick shown here making a putout against Wayne State hopes to help the Wolverines extending their two game winning streak today at home against the University of Toledo. Fitzpatrick is one of a group of first year players who have helped the Wolverines to a second place standing in the Big Ten.

MICHIGAN head coach Car( Hutchins didn't seem at all worri about Nelson's streak, "She(Nelso can't win if she doesn't get any r support." Initially it looked as if Michiga would not get any runs, as the two teams went into the fourth ining scoreless. In the bottom of the fourth, senior Mary Ann Daviera led off with a single and then stole second. With the bases loaded sophomore catcher Julie Cooper drove in Daviera with a single and Michigan took a 1-0 lead. It would prove to enough for Nelson. In the next half inning Detroit's Debbie Frasier got the first and only hit off Nelson. "Nelson threw a nice game against us. She kept us off balance," Stann said. NELSON wasn't the only star of the game for the Wolverines. In addition to her game-winning RBI, Cooper threw out a runner trying to steal second and picked Frasier o0 first. The rest of the Wolverine scoring came in the fifth on an RBI single by junior Pam Dyksterhouse, and an RBI double by Daviera. Nelson ended the game striking out Stefanie Hayes, and moving he record to 19-5. In the second game Michiga junior Jenny Allard took on t Titans winningest pitcher this yea rookie Teresa Emery, who entere the game sporting a 12-4 record. "Teresa's been struggling a little bit lately," Stann said. "Being freshman, she doesn't have the off speed stuff yet to keep the hitters of balance." EMERY'S inexperience showed quickly as Michigan struck for two runs in the bottom of the firi Allard singled and Dyksterhouse followed with a run scoring triple. Then Daviera came up and knocked in Dyksterhouse with a double. In the Titans half of the fourth, their leading hitter, Gina Menta, hit a 220-foot home run over the left field fence, to make the score 2-1. But Detroit would get no closer as Michigan answered with four ru of their own on the bottom of th fifth. The highlight of the inning came when Dyksterhouse hit her second triple of the game to score Allard, who had doubled home shortstop Bonnie Tholl, from second. (Not to mention renowned Rabbis from across the globe, Israeli journalists, and one of the soldiers who liberated the Western Wall.)
