10 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 30, 1994 SOFTBALL Continued from page 9 indefinitely with a stress fracture. Terri Korbata (6-5, 1.61), who Michigan coach Carol Hutchins calls, "One of the best pitchers in the re- gion," suffered a muscle pull in her leg and is questionable. This presents another problem for coach Miller, especially when the pitching staff is still trying to find its groove. "Our starting pitching has been up and down and we're looking for some consistency," she said. "With all of these injuries, it just means that we might have to go with a freshman pitcher." Freshman Joy Battersby (7-4, 2.27), who just completed a6-1 vic- tory over Mercer II on March 26, will likely fill in if Korbata isn't healthy. Miller could also start walk- on Trish Sorenson (1-0,1.00), who has only appeared in two games this season. For the Wolverines, today's matchup represents the last chance to prepare for the Big Ten season, which starts Friday at home against Ohio State. Michigan is looking to jack up its offensive firepower, which has been somewhat lacking of late. The Wol- verines have been hovering around .220 as a team and have hit zero home runs. "They are struggling offensively," Miller said. "But (Hutchins) has a young team and they are going to get better." After playing six games this past weekend out in California, Hutchins hopes her team isn't still feeling the effects of the long trip. "Wejust need to be ready to play," Hutchins said. "Our team needs to be rested." BASEBALL Continued from page 9 Indiana, Michigan pitcher Ron Hollis was named Big Ten pitcher of the week. The last Wolverine pitcher to win the award was Ray Ricken last year, for his performance the weekend of April 10-12. NATION's BEST?: Leftfielder Scott Weaver, who is hitting .355 through 16 games, has been nominated as a candidate for the Smith Award. The award is given to the top collegiate baseball-player of the year. This year, for the first time, college baseball fans get 1/3 of the vote. Weaver leads the team in batting average, doubles, triples, RBI and slugging percentage. He also picked upthegame-winning hitinyesterday's victory when he drove in two runs with a single in the bottom of the sixth. PERFECTION: The Wolverines have not had much trouble with Siena Heights over the years. With yesterday's win, Michigan raised its all-time series record with tlhe Saints to 19-0. Freehan's record against Siena Heights improved to 9-0. ON FIRE: Michigan's offense has not been a problem so far this season. Six players are hitting over .300 and the team is hitting .267. The Wolver- ines are also averaging 4.9 runs per game. Weaver leads the way at .355 with Andy Wade (.350) and Scott Niemiec (.341) close behind. Brian Simmons (.329), Coston (.319) and Ryan Van Oeveren (.318) close out the .300 hitters. However, the defense has hurt the Wolverines. Although Michigan's pitching staff has given up 113 runs in 19 games (5.9 per game), only 89(4.7 per game) have been earned. STARTING IN STYLE: Van Oeveren, a junior, made his first career home run count. In the Wolverines' second game at Indiana, he hit a grand slam to help lead Michigan to a 13-3 win. 0 0 Read Feld of Dreams in W)E dFtltg &dgI When (~%JV~ 1// * I, e can I find booklets this good?
