Boyd injured
Sin Michigan
doublelheader,
questionable
for OSU

By JIM DAVIS
The Michigan softball squad closes
the 1983 home season this weekend with
a pair of doubleheaders against Big Ten
foe Ohio State, today and Sunday. But
the team could be without pitching ace
Jan Boyd for the series.
The senior sustained a knee injury
while pitching in a doubleheader again-
st Michigan State, Thursday. Boyd's
knee was put in a splint and she walked
off the field on crutches in the eighth in-
ning of the opener.
DR. GERALD O'Conner examined
the knee yesterday in Ann Arbor.
"There was a little slippage in the
knee," said Michigan coach Bob
DeCarolis. "There was no swelling on it
today. Dr. O'Conner looked at her and
gave her the green light to play, but
we'll have to see how she reacts to it. It
there's no pain and she feels she can go,
then we'll let her go."
The injury came with the score
deadlocked and the bases loaded, just
after Boyd had thrown out a Spartan
runner at the plate. Senior Sandy
Taylor came on to throw only two pit-

ches before MSU took the win.
Taylor came right back, however, in
the nightcap, as she and Carol Allis
combined for a 6-4 victory. Taylor now
stands 13-10 on the season. Allis came
on to retire the Spartans with the bases
loaded in the seventh inning to preserve
the win for her first save.
Penny Neer sparked the hitting for
Michigan in game two. The senior, who
has also participated in basketball and
track, pounded out a three-run homer,
her second of the season, and a double
and scored two twice. "She did a nice
job," said DeCarolis.
Taylor and Carol Patrick each
knocked ina pair of markers to account
for the rest of Michigan's runs on the
day. Taylor also notched four hits in
five plate appearances in the pair of
games.
The split leaves Michigan with a 29-24
record on the season, 7-13 and in sixth
place in the Big Ten. Ohio State comes
to town today with a 16-25-1 record
overall and 4-22-2 mark and last place
in the conference. The Buckeyes also
played a doubleheader at home against

Mees paces netters at Big Tens

Special tothe Daily
MADISON-The Michigan men's
tennis team must feel a bit like Gary
Cooper today. The Wolverines ended
the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Cham-
pionships with 21 points-just half a
point behind the first place Wisconsin
Badgers-and today will be the "High
Noon" showdown.
Today's tennis will pit Michigan
against the Badgers at third singles and
all three doubles matches.
MICHIGAN, which is on a quest for
its sixteenth consecutive Big Ten
championship, was paced by first
singles player Mark Mees. Mees
defeated Northwestern's Jon Kamisar,
6-3, 7-5, despite having lost to.him last
week in straight sets in a dual meet.
Mees and doubles partner Tom Haney
also gained a victory at one doubles by
beating Joe O'Brian and Steve
Yorimoto of Michigan State by the
score of 7-6, 6-4.
Unfortunately Haney was unable to
overcome Minnesota's Stefan Eriksson

in number two singles, losing 6-4, 6-4.
Haney's loss was one of only two

yesterday, as Michigan tallied victories
at first, fourth, and fifth singles, as well
as all three doubles spots.
At third singles Ross Laser overcame
Minnesota's Pete Kolaric, 7-6, 6-4, and
will face Wisconsin's number three

DETROIT - For a brief moment in
the first inning it appeared The Slump
might be over.
But in the end the result was the same
- silent Detroit bats, and another loss,
this time to the California Angels, 4-2 at
Tiger Stadium last night.
THE TIGERS did load the bases with
nobody out in the ninth on a Lance
Parrish double and a couple of walks.

But they could only manage one run on
a force out.
Reliever Mike Witt got the last two
Tiger batters to foul out and the Tigers
lost the sixth game in their last seven
outings.
When Lou Whitaker led off the Tiger
first with his first home run of the year
and John Grubb lined the next pitch to
left-center for a triple it looked like the
Bengals were on their way to breaking
out of their hitting tailspin. But Grubb
was stranded on third and the Tigers
failed to get another runner that far un-
til the ninth.
Journeyman Bruce Kison baffled the

Tigers with an assortment of junk pit-
ches and ran his record to 3-1.
The key Angel blow was a two-out,
two-run double by Juan Beniquez in the
seventh after an intentional pass to Rod
Carew. Carew had three singles on the
night to raise his average to an even
500 on the season.
Tiger pitcher Milt Wilcox (2-4) took
the loss, but pitched well. The veteran
right hander struck out seven Angels,
all in the first four innings.
