SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK
Base running errors
cost Wolverines
by Ryan Herrington
Daily Sports Writer
Aggressive baserunning is something most coaches expect from their
players. However, the Wolverines began to get a little overzealous this
weekend in the NSK/Wolverine Invitational.
Michigan runners, on three separate occasions during the tournament,
were doubled off their bases when Wolverine batters hit line drives to
their opponent's infielders.
The most critical of these mental errors came against Northern Illinois
Saturday afternoon. After having made one comeback already, the
Wolverines found themselves again trailing in the bottom of the eighth.
Their second comeback bid was squelched when Heather Lyke was picked
off second base after Karla Kunnen hit a line shot to first.
Michigan coach Carol Hutchins, however, isn't too concerned with the
frequency of the double plays against her squad.
"We've been aggressive on the bases," Hutchins said. "Sometimes it
hurts and backfires on you. However, in the long run the aggressiveness
will help us more than it hurts."
HEAMS SHINES AT INVITATIONAL: Entering Saturday's action,
Stacey Heams was third on the team in hitting with a .288 average. Her play
this weekend did nothing to harm her average or her role as a vital contrib-
utor to the Wolverines.
Heams went 5-for-9 with three RBI and two stolen bases this weekend,
including the game winning RBI in the Wolverines' 1-0 championship vic-
tory against Northern Illinois. Her play in right field was also outstand-
ing as she made three difficult catches while battling the sun.
"We got a lot of clutch hits from people," Hutchins said. "Stacey
Himes was just outstanding. Her hit was just great."
FOSTER TAKES TO THE HILL: Life can be tough for the fourth
pitcher on a three-person staff. Action doesn't occur that often. Julie
Foster, waiting for her turn to break into the rotation, saw her first action
on the mound all season in Sunday's game against DePaul. Coming in to
pitch the final inning, Foster allowed no runs or hits while walking one
batter.

Continued from page 1
Wolverines trailed, 5-4, going into
the bottom of the seventh inning
-when Mary Campana led off with a
single to center field.
After a successful sacrifice bunt
and a pop up to the shortstop -
leaving a runner on second with two
outs - Cooper came through again
with a line single up the middle,
scoring the tying run.
Just as quickly as Michigan had
gained the momentum, the Huskies
regained control. First baseman Lisa
Gilfoy led off the top of the eighth
with her sixth home run of the sea-
son, a blast to left center, which
proved to be the game-winning run.
Andrea Nelson opened the game

for Michigan but was ineffective in
her 2 1/3 innings, allowing five
Northern runs.
"Andrea was just trying too
hard. When you do this you tend to
overthrow the ball," Hutchins said.
"Her pitches just didn't work."
Nelson bounced back nicely
Sunday against DePaul, pitching five
scoreless innings in a game which
Michigan had to win in order to
play in the championship game. The
Wolverines scored early and de-
feated the Blue Demons, 7-0.
In the consolation game, Ohio
scored two runs in the fifth and an
insurance run in the sixth to defeat
DePaul, 3-0, and capture third place
overall.

weight limits. Once again she re-
fused to bring in outside help such
as one of the trainers or another
knowledgeable person. Due to this,
we feel that Annette poses a serious
health threat to the girls on the
team.
2. Annette is arbitrary in making
and enforcing squad rules.
Some people have to try out
and others do not.
EPunishment for breaking rules
differs for every person and there
are exceptions to many of the rules.
3. Annette Schmidt's conduct is
misrepresentative of the University
of Michigan.
ETold the ABC cameraman to
"F--- off" and used accompanying
hand gestures at the Ohio State
football game.
EReceived money for T-shirts
from sponsors and never purchased
them. To our knowledge the money
was never refunded.
EPromised sponsors team pic-
tures and never followed up.
HOrdered extra clothing from

Nike and gave it to her husband. She
justifies this by stating that he is
one of the cheerleaders.
He also is let into football
games. She claims that he is a pho-
tographer.
Poor written representation
including sponsor letters, letters to
team members, and team guidelines.

use to describe it is
overwhelmingly hurt.
I can't begin to
describe it to you ...
All I can say is we've
made a new start'

Furthermore, during the fall of
1989, the team raised approximately
$2,500 from performances. It is our
understanding that the University
was to receive this money. Annette
told us that she opened a separate ac-
count for this and would put half
into the account and give the ath-
letic department the other half. If
this is the case, the extra money was
never seen again, and the university
might want to investigate this mat-

Once again, the weather played
havoc with the Michigan men's golf
team. A week of rain at the Military
Academy in West Point, N.Y., lim-
ited the scheduled three-day tour-
nament to two rounds. However,
the rain did not ruin the
Wolverines' performance, as they
showed some character and finished
in second place.
Entering the tournament,
Michigan was considered the heavy
favorite in the 16-team field. Even
the Wolverines' coach, Jim Carras,
felt that "going in we would be one
of the favorite teams." However,
after the first round, Michigan
looked everything but in control of
its own destiny.
Several sub-par first-round per-
formances by the team leaders
placed Michigan in seventh. Carr
best explained the main reason for
the early jitters: "Realistically, the
team went in a little overconfident
and as a result, we didn't play at our
level."
ter further.
We believe that Annette
Schmidt is not qualified for the po-
sition and she misrepresents the
University. We appreciate the coop-
eration of the athletic department
and ask that you reconsider renew-
ing Ms. Annette Schmidt's contract.
Finally, we would like to note that
all of the co-signees of this letter
have nothing to gain by seeing action
taken by the University. Since none
of us will be on the team again, we
are only doing this to help uphold
some of the traditions of the
University of Michigan cheerlead-
ing squad.

Schmidt disputes the accusations
brought against her. Weidenbach has
discussed the contents of the letter
with Schmidt at length, but was out
of town last week and could not be
reached for comment. She com-
pletely denies any mishandling of
funds and notes that all sponsors re-
ceived what they were promised.
Before reading the letter, Schmidt
said all she had heard were
"rumors" that people were discon-
tent with her style.
"No one has come to me directly
and sat down and said this is the way
it is," Schmidt said. "Now they are

Day two brought about a differ-
ent result. Led by Dean Kobane's 70
and a 72 by rookie Brad Koch,
Michigan played impressively on its
way to a 15 stroke improvement.
This superb performance left
Michigan in position for a playoff
for second place, in addiiton to
vaulting Kobane into fifth overall.
In the six-person playoff,
Michigan finished two-under par,
which wrapped up the second spot
behind Army. It was a marked im-
provement for a young team that
could have easily allowed pressure
to affect its performance. With a
feeling of accomplishment, coach
Carras explained, "a little deter-
minism set in."
Michigan has a few days of pra-
tice to use the experience as a base *
upon which to develop.
"It is a confidence builder,"
Carras said. "The aim was to come
in and compete for first place. The
biggest thing is that we've shown
that we're capable of competing."
and I'm more than willing to lis-
ten."
Vartanian remembers differ-
ently. "I told her all the complaints
and I told her I thought she was a
bitch," he said. "She sat there and
listened and promised changes.
"You should have a psychiatric
profile done on her. She's a real nut
case."
The meeting with Weidenbach
may not have accomplished the let-
ter writers' goal of ousting
Schmidt, but it did prove produc
tive. Schmidt now says she will
bring outside assistance in to help
coach the gymnastics. In addition,
she promises "consistency" and
will enforce all rules in all circum-
stances. She promises that weight
trainers will speak directly to the
team rather than relaying informa-
tion through her. On a charge that
she arbitrarily set weights which
caused some female members of the
team to not eat for days, she said, "I
don't baby-sit them. I encourage
them to eat."
Schmidt is obviously distressed
by the entire ordeal, saying, "The
only word I can use to describe it is
overwhelmingly hurt. I can't begin
to describe it to you."
Yet, if even half of the allega-
tions in this letter prove true, one
must question if this is the type of
person which should represent
Michigan. Schmidt may have her
backers, yet the dissention that has
been caused, including losing two
All-Americans and a drop in the
program's prestige, has to turn peo-
ples' heads.
"All I can say is we've made a
new start," Schmidt said.
One has to wonder if it's a start
for the better.
