Either that, or the good bats don't come out on Easter Sunday. After Michigan and Michigan State combined for 34 runs Satur- day in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines split a doubleheader with the Spar- tans at Kobs Field yesterday. "I don't know," Michigan coach Bill Freehan said. "You think you're going to see an offensive series af- ter the first game, but then it doesn't end up that way." In the series opener, Michigan (6-8Big Ten, 15-21 overall) torched Michigan State 15-4, powered by a five-run fifth inning. In the nightcap, the Wolverines blew a 4-2 lead and ended up suc- cumbing to the Spartans (9-7 Big Ten, 17-15 overall), 9-6. Sunday, Michigan lost the first game, 5-2, but won the second, 4-3. In Saturday's first game, the r Wolverines looked like they owned the top spot in the Big Ten, not the cellar. Michigan scored in every in- ning except the seventh. Each Wolverine starter collected at least one hit and all nine crossed the plate except for designated hit- ter Scott Weaver. Third baseman Kelly Dransfeldt led the attack with a 3-for-4 perfor- mance, two RBI and three runs scored. Shortstop Ryan Van "It just shows you the caliber of play in the Big - Bill Freehan Michigan baseball coach Oeveren also racked up three hits and three runs for the Wolverines. With a 10-1 lead in the fifth in- ning, Van Oeveren led off with a triple off the wall in deep right- centerfield. After consecutive RBI doubles by Rodney Goble and Brian Simmons, Michigan had a 13-1 mar- gin. Three batters later, leftfielder Sean Coston smacked an RBI triple to score Dransfeldt from second base. Second baseman Kirk Beermann ended the scoring, sin- gling in Coston for a 15-1 advan- tage. In the fourth, first baseman Chad Chapman led off the inning with a home run, his third of the season, that traveled 360 feet over the leftfield fence. Spartan hurler Josh Weeks' next pitch whizzed behind Dransfeldt. But Dransfeldt cranked Weeks' 1-2 pitch over the wall in left, 15 See BASEBALL, Page 15 After splitting four games with the Spartans this weekend, the Wolverines remain two games under .500 in conference play.

After Toledo broke the Wolverines' 19-game win streak April 5, Michigan ran its current streak to six by sweeping four games from Minnesota this weekend. Michigan beat the Gophers, 5-0, 11-5, 2-1 and 6-4. The Wolverines began the week- end with a hitting explosion. After first baseman Michelle Silver grounded out to lead off the opening game, the next four batters all reached base and eventually scored. After that mini-rally, the rest of the game was relatively quiet. Michi- gan didn't score again until the sixth inning when pitcher Sara Griffin singled in Silver. Minnesota struggled against Grif- fin throughout the game. The fresh- man recorded eight strikeouts and al- lowed only two hits en route to her 12th win of the season. The second game produced more of the same results. Griffin drove in Silver to give the Wolverines a 1-0 lead after the first inning. In the top of the third, Michigan padded its lead when Griffin and pitcher Kelly Kovach both scored off of a Jessica Lang single. However, the Gophers muscled their way back into the game by scor- ing four runs in the bottom of the inning. The rally began when Kovach beaned the second batter up, desig- nated player Jennifer Fox. Kovach then allowed a walk and three singles before regaining control. The Wolverines produced a four- run rally of their own in the fifth inning to regain the lead, 7-4. Michigan fol- lowed that with a run in the sixth and three more in the seventh. Kovach's five strikeouts helped her earn her 12th win of the season, More importantly, it was her 66th career win, making her the winningest pitcher in Michigan history. The Wolverines struggled in the second doubleheader. In the first game, Minnesota crossed the plate first, when Rachel Nelson drove in Jenny Lopez in the third inning. Michigan had little success with the bat throughout the game and en- tered the bottom of the seventh inning scoreless. However, following a Traci Carr single, Lang smacked a double to the leftfield fence, putting runners on second and third. Minnesota opted to intentionally walk catcher Jennifer Smith, leaving the bases loaded for Tracy Taylor. Tay- lor was playing in place of team captain Lesa Arvia who suffered a season-end- ing leg injury against Penn State. i "We're missing a.350 hitter," coach Carol Hutchins said. "We miss that .350 swing. She's got a new role now. She keeps me calm on the bench." However, the Gophers were unable to capitalize on Arvia's absence. Taylor hit a ground ball into right field, allow- ing Carr to score the game-tying run. Two batters later, Silversingled in Smith with the winning run. Kelly Holmes earned her eighth win of the season, chalking up four strikeouts and walking only one. In the final game of the series, neither team was willing to surrender the lead, playing to a 4-4 tie at the end of the seven regulation innings. Michigan was hot early and led 3-0 after its first turn at bat. However, Min- nesota quickly overcame the deficit by scoring two runs in the bottom of the. first inning and two more in the second. The Wolverines tied the game with a run in the fifth, but blew a chance to See SOFTBALL, Page 14 :1 JA I SO 13: I I I II DEPARTMENT OF BREAKING the MOLD F I I vammol RECREATIONAL SPORTS DAYTIME, EVENING, AND WEEKEND HOURS SPRING AND SUMMER TERMS May 3, 1995 - June 23 for Spring Term June 24- August 22 for Summer Term Contact Lorelei at 763-3084 Application Deadline, April 20,1995 ALL YOU CAN I' FOR $4.95"'!! at the LEAUUPBUFFET BET 5BtNA~3QJQZZ9 M* SCHOOL OF MEDICINE .
