- The Michigan Doily - Friday, May 15, 1987 - Page 15 Spartans gain split; haft Blue win streak By GREG MOLZON Last weekend's baseball games just go to prove that when Michigan and Michigan State get together, you can throw out the records because anything can happen. The Wolverines entered the series as the Big Ten East Division champions and were riding a 22- game winning streak, just three wins away from a new school record. The Spartans, who were 4- 10 in the Big Ten before the series, ignored the Wolverines' press clippings though, and blasted Michigan in two of the four games. "Michigan State just outplayed us," Michigan head coach Bud Middaugh said. "They played better than us and deserved to win the two games they won." THE SPARTANS shocked Michigan in the opener on Saturday in East Lansing by slamming five home runs and 21 hits in a 17-8 victory that ended the Wolverines' winning streak at 22. With a strong wind blowing out, Spartan hitters Dan Masteller, Todd Krumm, and Mike Davidson hit consecutive homers in the first inning off Mike Ignasiak. The- Spartans jumped to a 14-0 lead by the third inning and coasted to the easy win. James Durham led the Wolverines with three hits, while Darrin Campbell and Greg McMurtry each added two. In the second game, Ross Powell improved his record to 6-0 by allowing only one run in six innings as Michigan bounced back to win 11-5. Steve Finken hit his sixth home run of the season, Bill St. Peter had three RBIs, and Chris Michigan third baseman Rich Samplinski takes a throw from catcher Mike Gillette and tags out a Michigan State runner during action against the Spartans last weekend. Gagin had three hits. BACK IN Ann Arbor on Sunday, the Wolverines looked to be back on the right track with a 2- 1 lead and Jim Abbott on the mound in the sixth. However, the Michigan State bats came alive in the last two innings with seven runs to give the Spartans an 8-2 win. It was only the second loss of the year for Abbott, who dropped to 9-2. In the final game of the series, Mike Grimes combined with Ignasiak to throw a two-hit shutout in a 2-0 victory. Grimes went to 6- 0 with the win and Ignasiak notched his fifth save.
