OFFENSE
From page11
balls into the outfield, via air
mail.
The Wolverines recorded just
one hit that dropped down into
the outfield, a fourth-inning single
by sophomore Jason Christian.
"We know how the infield is,"
Maloney said. "The game wasn't
won totally by the infield. They
didn't get many hits, either. It is
what it is. You can't change your
approach. You still swing the
same way, and you still play the
same way. You just play the game
and whatever happens, happens."
With an offense that struggled
to find hits yesterday, Michigan
will have to rely on smart, ath-
letic base running in the next two
games if it wishes to topple the
Beavers inthe best-of-three series.
But base running wasn't some-
thing the Wolverines excelled in
during yesterday's loss.
In the fifth inning, junior left-
fielder Derek VanBuskirk found
base after an infield single to
the shortstop. Not known for his
stealing prowess, VanBuskirk sur-
prised the Oregon State defense
when he took off for second dur-
ing the net at bat.
The Beavers didn't shift over to
receive to toss from catcher Mitch
Canham, and the ball tumbled
into the outfield. VanBuskirk, not
realizing that centerfielder Chris
Hopkins had fumbled with the
ball, slid headfirst into second
base, missing a chance to gain
an extra bag. In the next at bat,
second baseman Kevin Cislo beat
out a throw from the pitcher on a
single that would have easily sent
VanBuskirk home had he been on
third.
If the Wolverines wish to pull
off the two straight victories nec-
essary to book a trip to the Col-
lege World Series in Omaha, Neb.,
they'll have to capitalize on the
few opportunities the Beavers'
slow-moving turf will give them.
BASEBALL
From page 11
everybody on ourteamknows thatwe
are a very, very even match with this
other ballclub. As a team, the story of
the last couple weeks has been being
the underdog and pulling through,
and obviously we're in that same spot
right now, so we're all feeling very
comfortable and very confident."
