Eastern Michigan Hurons, who were undefeated in Tournament play,
scoring 33 runs in their first two games.
But the Hurons ran into All-Tournament pitcher, Bill Shuta, who gave
up only six hits en route to a 10-0 masterpiece. The Wolverines, who had
shown warning signs in the previous two games, finally erupted, scoring
five runs in the first and never looked back. All-Tournament outfielder
and Most Valuable Player, Jim Paciorek, led the assault on two Huron
pitchers, going three-for-four, scoring twice and driving in three runs.
The victim of the five first-inning tallies was sore-armed Bryan Clutter-
buck, who lasted a paltry two-thirds of an inning.
Michigan captured the Mideast crown on Memorial Day, 4-0. The
ballgame remained scoreless until the sixth frame, when the Wolverines
sent four runners across the plate. This was all the winning pitcher Scot
Elam needed as he blanked the Hurons on seven hits en route to All-
Tournament honors.
Michigan's luck ran out, however, as it was eliminated from the College
World Series Monday night in Omaha, Nebraska by the Texas Longhorns,
6-5. The Wolverines dropped their opener Saturday to Mississippi State, 4-
0.
