EMU gives other 'M' pitchers opportunity
By SCOTT BURTON
DAILY BASEBALL WRITER
For the surging Michigan baseball
team (5-3 Big Ten, 10-13 overall) there
are two different seasons left to be
played - the Big Ten and all the rest.
What's the difference?
The first-place Wolverines'
hopes for postseason play lie in their
conference record, so there is no
room for taking liberties with their
starting pitching in Big Ten games.
Michigan starts its best, and expects
the best.
But for all the rest-liketoday's
3 p.m. game with Eastern Michigan
at Ray Fisher Stadium - wins and
losses affect only the Wolverines'
record on paper, so they can make a
valuable test on the depths of their
pitching staff.
"You are not going to use any of the
starters that you have depended on, so
we will see what some of the other kids
can do," coach Bill Freehan said. "Who
knows what will happen in that kind of
a situation?"
Tomorrow, Michigan will go
with a pitching committee composed
of Matt Ferullo (2-1, 3.46 ERA),
Aaron Toth (0-0, 5.40), Matt
Humbles (0-0, 9.00), Mark Temple
(0-1, 12.6) and Brad Tinkham (no
appearances).
"I'm looking for a couple of in-
nings out of each of them," Freehan
said. "I expect that the guys that are
given an opportunity will take advan-
tage of it - guys who have not gotten
the work they would have liked be-
cause of the success of some of our
starting pitchers."
It is certainly understandable
why innings-pitched have been few
and far between for some of the
Wolverines after the performance
of the starters last weekend against
Michigan State.
Ron Hollis pitched a no-hitter in
game three, while Heath Murray, Ray
Ricken and Chris Newton added strong
performances against a formidable
Spartan lineup.
Hollis, who is 2-0 with no earned
runs in conference play, won his sec-
ond-straight Big Ten Pitcher-of-the-
Week award and shared the Mizuno
national player-of-the-week honors
from Collegiate Baseball.
But Hollis did not have a monopoly
of awards for the Wolverines' perfor-
mance against the Spartans. First
baseman Chad Chapman turned in one
of the more monstrous weekends in
recent Big Ten play and was named
Big Ten Player of the Week for his four
home runs and 2.174 slugging percent-
age.
Such individual performances are
oneofthemany factors thathave turned
the Wolverines from a team that was
once0-8inBigTen play in 1993, to one
that is fighting for first place this sea-
son.
"Obviously we have improved sub-
stantially," Freehan said. "Now our
goal is to continue to improve, espe-
cially defense."
The Wolverines will have a
chance to do just that against a
streaking Eagles team, which has
fared well against the challenging
likes of Georgia, Tennessee and
Vanderbilt this year.
The Eagles have won five of their
last six thanks to a youthful core of
hitters.
Sophomore outfielder Curtis
Baker bats a team-leading .345 and
is 15-for-31 in his last nine games.
Freshman shortstop Don
DeDonatis is on a 10-game hitting
streak and has reached base safely
in 19 of 21 games.

including putting and chipping.
Practice is needed to increase the
team's confidence. And an increase in
confidence could be the cure that the
team is searching for.
