10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April 5, 1994 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.
