10- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, April12, 1994 BASEBALL Continued from page 9 innings to begin the contest, but sur- rendered three runs on four hits in the fourth to prompt Ferullo's en- trance with two outs. Michigan took a 4-3 lead in the fourth thanks to two-out hitting that has become a standard for the team. Matt Fleury and Kirk Beerman hit back-to-back run-scoring singles in the inning off of reliever Tom Billek. In the opener, Penn State not only broke Wolverine starter Ron Hollis' (2-3) 17-inning Big Ten scoreless streak and 11-inning hitless streak, but handed him a loss as well. Despite the fact that Hollis al- lowed only five hits and struck out eight to complete his third straight complete game, he contributed to both Penn State rallies.He threw a squeeze bunt attempt away in the fourth to allow an unearned run, and hit Derek Brochna with a pitch two outs into the sixth before serving up a two-run double to Derek Ryder. Michigan was in good position for a seventh-inning rally when Rodney Goble and Kevin Crociata reached base with one out. But reliever Billek closed out the meat of the Wolver- ines' lineup in Scott Weaver and Simmons to preserve the game for starter John Maggiore (2-2). Michigan will continue its bevy of spring games at 3 p.m. today with a makeup contest against Eastern Michigan at Fisher Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for lastTues- day but was cancelled due to unsuit- able weather. Golf teams show some signs of improvement By DARREN EVERSON DAILY SPORTS WRITER The Michigan men's golf team approached last weekend's Marshall Invitational with modest expectations. A middle-of-the-pack finish in the 18-team event was all the Wolverines were looking for, considering the field included Kent State, Miami (Ohio) and Illinois, the top three teams in Michigan's last tournament. When all was said and done, that's how they did - more or less. The Wolverines placed 13th, but it was a hardly a distant 13th. Six teams fin- ished ahead of Michigan by seven strokes or less. Kent State won the tournament by five strokes over Ohio State, 37 ahead of the Wolverines. Michigan played better than ex- pected Friday, landing in sixth place after the first round. However, just as the weather in West Virginia turned cold, so did the Wolverines' play. Saturday, the team combined for a 312 stroke total - dead last for the second round. Coach Jim Carras un- derstands that turnarounds like those are just a part of the game. "Unlike (other sports) where you play a team 15 times a year," he said, "it's a two-or three-day affair, and if you happen to be playing well as a team, you can do well. If you're not, you're going to be an also-ran. It's as simple as that." Junior Michael Hill led the Wol- verines with a 10-over par 226, his best three-round total of the year. WOMEN'S GOLF This past weekend, the Michigan women's golf team showed signs of improvement as it tied for 14th in the 21-team Lexel Golf/University of South Florida Invitational at the USF Golf Course in Tampa. Shooting a three-round total of 989, the five- member team managed to beat out Big Ten rival Minnesota in the 54- hole tournament. Wake Forest took home both the team trophy and the individual hon- ors, with a total 922 shots for the team, and a 218 for individual cham- pion Shephanie Neill. For the second week in a row, sophomore Shannon McDonald led Michigan, tying for tenth out of 109 competitors with a total of 236 (82- 77-77). The team wound up just two strokes shy of its goal of 320 after one round of play, but the second day, the Wolverines returned to their usual 333 score. "We played pretty well the first day," McDonald said. "The second and third days we never picked up the lead. We weren't used to playing that well and the other teams picked up their strokes." Although the team did not achieve its stroke goal, it did beat Minnesota, and came close to 13th-place Michi- gan State (982) and 11th-place Iowa (979). "It was a good feeling to beat Minnesota," McDonald said. "If we can beat the other two (Michigan State 0 and Iowa), we can move up (in the Big Ten)." - Rebecca Moatz F ATTENTION ADVERTISERS The last day of publication is Tuesday, April 19.
