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.

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. 0 REBECCA KNIGHT/Daily, Michigan runners Bill Brady and Doug Heikkinen battle it out in the early going of the 3,000-meter steeplechase yesterday at the Ann Arbor Relays. Brady and Heikkinen finished first and second, respectively, in the event.
