Special to the Daily
DETROIT - The anemic bats of the
Tigers failed to come to life again as the
Bengals were shut out by the Texas
Rangers, 4-0, last night at Tiger
Stadium.
Jerry Ujder continued to have
trouble, dropping his record to 0-4.
Ujder, who only managed to last until
the third inning, gave up four walks,
two of which preceded a three-run
smash by Larry Parrish.
THE TIGERS best chance to score
came in the eighth inning. Lou
Whitaker led off with a single, followed
by a flyout by Kirk Gibson, a walk to
Larry Herndon, a strikeout by Lance
Parrish and another freebie to John
Grubb to load the bases. Glenn Wilson
then grounded out to Ranger shortstop
Bucky Dent to end the inning.
About this time, the game had all the
excitementof a blood drive.
Golfers fifth
Specialtothe Daily
IOWA CITY - Michigan's golfers
got off to one of their fastest starts of
the year yesterday, placing fifth after
18 holes of the 72-hole Big Ten Golf
Championship. Ohio State leads the
tournament, which continues today
with 36 holes before tomorrow's 18-hole
final round.
The Wolverines' 373 score trails the
Buckeyes' 358, Wisconsin's 361, and In-
diana's and Iowa's 371.
"I'm extremely pleased with the
round," said Michigan coach Jim
Carras. "Our players over the last two
weeks have improved over the first-day
round and I think we can do it again."
Dan Roberts was the top Wolverine
individual with a score of 73. Ohio
State's Clark Burroughs leads the field
at 68.
