Kamienie
homers from Ken Hayward, Casey
Close and Barry Larkin enabled the
Michigan Wolverines to sweep a pair of
games from the Purdue Boilermakers
in West Lafayette yesterday by scores
of 11-3 and 4-2.
The wins clinched first place in the
Big Ten East for Michigan. The top two
teams in the division will earn a berth
in the Big Ten tournament to be played
next week in Minneapolis.
KAMIENIECKI went the distance in
the first contest to pick up his fifth win
against three defeats. The sophomore
righthander carried an 11-0 lead into
the bottom of the sixth, but the Boiler-
makers struck for three runs, two
coming on a homer by catcher Mike
Hansen.
First baseman Hayward led the
Wolverine hitting attack with a pair of
round-trippers and four RBIs. Casey
Close connected for his seventh homer
for Michigan. Mike Watters had three
hits and four RBIs in the first game
romp.
Bill Banker took the loss for Purdue,
lowering his record to 4-3.
IN THE nightcap, Rich Bair's eighth
inning double drove in the tie-breaking
run as the Wolverines went on to win
the game 4-2. Michigan added an in-
gain tournament berth
surance tally in the eighth on a Purdue
error.
Bill Shuta worked five innings for
Michigan and was impressive. Shuta
left the game in the sixth inning with
the score tied 2-2. Ken Hayward pitched
the rest of the way and picked up his
seventh win. Righthander Matt Kinzer
worked all eight innings in a losing ef-
fort for the Boilermakers.
Larkin led off the game with his third
homer of the season. But in the second
frame Purdue drew even when right-
fielder Rob Shoulders hit his eighth
homer of the year off Shuta. Each team
scored a run in the fifth, before Bair
drove home the game winner in the
eighth.
THE WOLVERINES played
errorless baseball in the twinbill,
something they have not done much in
the past. The Boilermakers commited
three miscues.
The sweep raises Michigan's record
to 36-16 on the year, 10-4 in the Big Ten
East. Purdue is now 28-25-2, including 5-
9 in the league.
The two teams go at it again today in
another doubleheader. Lefty Gary
Wayne and righty Dave Karasinski are
scheduled to pitch for Michigan against
righties John Sarafin and Rex
Gingerich for Purdue. Both games can
be heard on WAAM-1600 AM starting at
1:00 p.m.

Tracksters dominate
Ann Arbor relays
By JIM GINDIN
In winning 12 of 17 events, the
Michigan men's track team dominated
the Ann Arbor Relays held yesterday
afternoon at Ferry Field.
The meet, in which seven colleges
and several athletic clubs participated,!
was fairly informal as no team scores
were kept. Michigan coach Jack Har-
vey said the relays were primarily a
tune-up for the Big Ten championships
to be held next Saturday and Sunday at
Ohio State.
THERE WERE NO individual sur-
prises except for Scott Ericksson's
record-breaking throw in the discuss
event, Harvey said. Ericksson's toss of
195'3", eight-and-a-half feet farther
than he'd ever thrown before, set a
Michigan and Ferry Field record and
qualified him for the NCAA tournament
next month. He also won the shot put
with a throw of 59'214"-
Ron Simpson also won two events in
the meet. In the 1500-meter run, he
passed Chicago's Dan Henderson in the
final 100 meters and held on to win in
3:51.77. Simpson won the 800 meters in
1:53.1.
The Wolverines swept the top three
places in the 3000-meter steeplechase,
Bill Brady winning in 9:16.07 with Doug
Heikkinen and Joe Schmidt following.
Dave Lugin set a personal record in
winning the high jump with a leap of
7'01/4".
TOM WILCHER, who has already
qualified for the Olympic Trials and the
NCAA championships, won the 100-
meter high hurdles in 13.92 seconds. He
also ran the final leg of the winning 400-
meter relay team.
Other Michigan first places belonged
to Derek Harper in the long jump, Phil
Cole in the triple jump, Jim Schmidt in
the 5000-meter run and the mile relay
team of Rob Granger, Derick Stinson
Bob Boynton and George Yoanides.
Harvey said the Wolverines have a
very small chance of winning the Big
Ten championships next week. "We
could only sneak in there if Indiana
doesn't run well."
Michigan should finish second or
third, he said. Wisconsin has been run-
ning very well lately and will contend
for second place.
Wolverines with a good chance of
winning individual events in the cham-
pionships are Ericksson in the discus,
Harper in the long jump and Simpson in
the 1500-meter run. Todd Steverson,
who pulled a hamstring in the 200 meter
run, should be available to run next
week.
