The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 25, 1996'-11- Fettite pitches gem in Yankees' 1-0 win Big Apple Bound The Series heads back to Yankee Stadium after New York took three games in Atlanta. 'M' spikers face state of Indiana Yankees leads series. 3-2 ATLANTA (AP) - The New York Yankees might miss this ballpark more than the Atlanta Braves. Andy Pettitte outpitched John Smoltz in. a classic duel, and the Yankees.moved '*thin one win of the World Series championship by hanging on for a 1-0 victory over Atlanta in Game 5 last night. In the last game ever to be played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, the Yankees finished this postseason 8-0 on the road. They did it by working around a leadoff double in the ninth inning by Chipper Jones. Pettitte got one out and John Wetteland got the last two, the final e a fly ball that gimpy right fielder 1u O'Neill caught on the move with runners at first and third. Now, they'll return to Yankee Stadium -where they're just 2-4 this October - with a chance to clinch their record 23rd tid1e. GOPHERS ,ontinued from Page 10 The Wolverines rushed the ball 83 times for 287 yards in the past two games. But 48 of those yards came on a reverse against Indiana. If you take away that play, Michigan is averaging just 2.91 yards per rush over the past two games. Minnesota, however, is likely to be a good antidote for Michigan's running woes,. The Golden Gophers couldn't stop turtle from running through their defensive line. They are surrender- ing almost 233 yards a game on the ground. Still, Carr and the Wolverines aren't taking Minnesota lightly in the 80th battle for the Little Brown Jug, especially after last week's near-loss. ."Certainly, when the Little Brown g is involved, you better be ready," arr said. "I'm not concerned with the Rose Bowl at this point, I'm con- cerned with Minnesota." MATCHUPS Continued from Page 10 Gophers shouldn't bother to run the ball at all. - They should just let Sauter throw because Minnesota has about as much of a chance in a ground war as Iraq. With supposed Heisman candidate Chris Darkins gone, the Gophers have no chance against a Michigan defense that is allowing only 100.7 yards per game. ADVANTAGE: SPECIAL TEAMS: The game is on artificial turf, so Michigan kicker Remy Hamilton should hit every- thing. Minnesota's punting and kicking games are average, so the ,,Wolverines will be given decent *eld position throughout the night. ADVANTAGE Yes, Michigan has advantage after advantage. Yes, Michigan has won its last e meetings with Minnesota and is in the Metrodome. Yes, Minnesota's jerseys have too many weird-looking letters on them. But we all know the Wolverines and their level of concentration. And we all know that this game probably will be tighter than it should, even if it's played in a really, really big tent. Michigan 25, Minnesota 17 FNO BRAINER FUNDRAISER' Fraternities, Game 6 will be tomorrow night, with Jimmy Key starting for New York against Greg Maddux. The final game at this park turned out to be anything except the kind of slugfest that earned this place its reputation as The Launching Pad. Instead, the House that Hank Built - Hank Aaron that is - went out with a whimper, with a total of only nine hits and the lone run scoring as a result of an error. Still, Yankees manager Joe Torre was glad to take it. He hit the first regular- season home run at the stadium in 1966 and was back for his greatest win in the majors. Pettitte shut out the Braves on four hits through the first eight innings, and also helped himself by throwing to third for a forceout in a key spot in the sixth. Smoltz fell to 9-2 lifetime in the post- season despite not giving up an earned run.

The Wolverines face Indiana today at Cliff Keen Arena and host Purdue tomorrow. Both teams are a far cry from the competition that Michigan has played lately. The Hoosiers are 2-7 in the Big Ten and 8-13 overall, while the Boilermakers are 3-6 and 10-11. "The weekend is an opportunity for us to go out and separate ourselves from this part of the pack," Michigan coach Greg Giovanazzi said. "We've got to go out there and prove that." The Wolverines (2-6, 7-12) are cur- rently mired in a slump. Most recently, the Wolverines dropped a pair of match- es at the hands of No. 15 Ohio State and No. 7 Penn State. The Wolverines haven't won a single game in their past three matches, having been swept by the Buckeyes, Nittany Lions and Ni in nesola. Michigan's last victory came i0tur matches ago when it upset No. II Wisconsin. The Wolverines hope this weekend will put an end to their slide. "If we have a good weekend, we can come out ahead (of the competition)," Giovanazzi said. "We need to come in focused and take care of what happens on our side of the net." Indiana arrives in Ann Arbor having lost six of its last seven matches. Yet, the Hoosiers feature a talent-laden lineup, featuring last year All-Big Ten selection outside hitter Julie Flatley, who averages 3.72 kills per match. "What's made them so good in the past is the fact that they've been a very steady, very solid team" Giovanazzi said. The I loosiers are coming off a victory over in-state rival Purdue, Michigan's opponent tomorrow, The Boilermakers are facing the Wolverines at the tail end of a four-match road trip, dropping the first three, matches. Brook White and Lauri Grimes lead the Purdue offense with 4.68 and 4.59 kills per match, respectively. This season marks the first time since 1993 that the Boilermakers have reached the double digit mark in overall wins. "Both teams keep the ball in play and make us work for points," Giovanazzi said. "They may not get, the kills Penn State or Ohio State gets, but they'll do a good job of keeping the pressure on us." I. U gri Put the paper chase behind you...
