8B - The Michigan Daily - SPORTSMonday - October 21, 1996 PARADISE Continued from Page 38 year is approached differently." But this year is already starting to look like the last two as far as prob- lems go. Sophomore forward Albert White, who was brilliant at times past season, has been suspended for the first semester due to an unspecified team policy violation. Still, the Wolverines have the potential for an excellent season. "If everything holds true to form, and that includes staying healthy, this is a team that should have some lofty expectations," Fisher said,. "I would say we feel we're anticipating a suc- cessful season. What that means as far as wins and losses, I don't know." Don't let that fool you. The Wolverines have certain expec- tations. They know there's pressure to avoid another double-digit loss season. They also know they have the ability to win the Big Ten for the first time since 1986 and reach the Final Four for the fourth time in the past nine- seasons. "We know we have a good team," Taylor said. "It's just about putting everything together during the sea- son." Isn't that the truth? - Barry Sollenberger can be reached over e-mail at jsol@umich.edu. Spartans stick Blue field hockey with loss i 9:00-11:30 AM 9:30 PM-MIDNIGHT $4.00 TANS w By Richard Shin Daily Sports \Writer The Michigan field hockey team traveled to East Lansing yesterday, entertaining thoughts of a season sweep over No. 14 Michigan State. Instead, the Spartans (2-4 Big Ten, I I- 5 overall) handed the Wolverines (1-5, 6-7) a 4-3 loss and salvaged a series split Michigan played a solid first half, holding the Spartans to a single goal, while Michigan attackers Lindsay Babbitt and Michelle Smulders scored back-to-back goals to forge a 2-1 lead. The Michigan defense was able to stifle Michigan State's leading goal scorer, junior Rayna Hiscox, who went scoreless in the first frame. In the last 20 minutes of the match, the Wolverines also played suffocating defense, shutting out the Spartans while adding a goal of their own. "We played really well in the first half," Smulders said. "We also played great the last 20 minutes of the match." Unfortunately for the Wolverines, the 15 minutes in between did not go as well. In those 15 minutes, the Spartans were able to mount an offensive attack that the Wolverines could not stop, racking up three straight goals, includ- ing a penalty stroke by Hiscox, to take a 4-2 lead. It was a lead that the Wolverines could not overcome. - "We had mental lapses," Michigan attacker Julie Flachs said. "(The Spartans) got the momentum and cape italized on their chances. "We played really well, and at timW we were awesome, but the mental laps- es cost us." Michigan State started the scoring in the match midway through the first period on a goal by senior Angela Diiames. The Wolverines quickly answered with two goals in five min- utes. In the second period, Hiscox scored two consecutive, unassisted goals in a span of seven minutes to push * Spartans ahead, 3-2. DiJames added her second goal of the day for the- Spartans exactly one minute after Hiscox's final goal to put the match out of the Wolverines' reach... Smulders added a final goal for Michigan with under nine minutes left, but the Wolverines could not manage a game-tying goal in the closing min- utes. _ "We need to play for the full minutes:' Smulders said. "We've proven we can play beautiful hockey, and we know we can stay in the gamy physically. "But we have to stay focused men, tally for all 70 minutes." JOSH BIGUS/Daily Senior co-captain Meredith Franden and the Michigan field hockey team lost, 4-3, to Michigan State yesterday. The two teams split their season series for the sec- ond consecutive season. Michigan is now 1-5 in the conference and 6-7 overall. NO SERVICE TANFA 627 SOUT (AT SOUTH MA 213-2 CHARGES!!! AsTIc H MAIN IN MARKET) 279 Braves trounce Yankees in Series opener NEW YORK (AlP) - The Atlanta Braves showed the New York Yankees that what they saw on TV was no fluke. Nineteen-year-old Andruw Jones homered twice and drove in five runs as John Smoltz and the Braves sent the Yankees to their worst World Series loss ever, 12-1, last night in Game 1. The Braves brutalized New York the same way they humbled St. Louis in winning the National League playoffs. The Yankees had a week off to watch Atlanta outscore the Cardinals, 32-1, in the last three games. And now they know the defending champions are just as potent in person -despite a one-day rain delay, a three- hour traffic jam and jeering Yankees fans. Jones hit a two-run homer off Andy Pettitte in the second inning, then lined a three-run shot off Brian Boehringer in the third that made it 8-0. By then Yankees fans, who had waited 15 years for the Series, were already silent. Game 2 will be tonight. Greg i n Maddux, moved up a day because of the rain, will start for Atlanta against Jimmy Key. On a day when the Yankees hoped to recapture some of their glory with their first Series appearance since 1981, Jones stuck it to them. By the sixth inning, with Atlanta ahead, 12-1, and a light rain falling, many of the 56,365 fans had left. Jones, who began the season as a member of the Class A Durham Bulls, became the youngest player to homer in the Series. He was a year younger than Mickey Mantle, who would have turned 65 yesterday. Jones also was the first player to homer in his first two Series at- bats since Oakland's Gene Tenace in 1972. He was the first player to hit two homers in a game since Philadelphia's Lenny Dykstra in 1993. Smoltz, meanwhile, was holding the Yankees hitless until Wade Boggs' RBI double with two outs in the fifth. Smoltz improved to 4-0 in the pos season this year and 9-1 overall in 17 career starts in the postseason. The major- league leader in wins and strikeouts this year, he left after six easy innings of two- hit ball. Fred McGriff lined a home run off the foul pole in the fifth, and Jones started a three-run sixth with an infield hit, an odd play in which his bat broke and the bar- rel tangled up Boggs at third base. Later in the inning, Marquis Grissom and Mark Lemke hit RBI singles and Chipper Jones had a sacrifice fly. While routs were nothing new to the Braves - they routed St. Louis, 14-0, in Game 5 and won, 15-0, in Game 7 --the Yankees were not so used to such beat- ings. The Yankees had played 186 previous games in World Series, most in history, but had never lost by more than eigy runs.
