Page 6- The Michigan Daily-Sports Monday-April 22,1991 SOFTBALL Continued from page 1 Tholl led off the inning with a walk, stole second base, and scored on an error by Petersen at second base. Stacey Heams walked, stole second and third, and scored on a Benedict single to seal the 3-1 Wolverine victory. In the opening game of the week- end on Friday, Nelson pitched a three-hit shutout antd struck out eight Wildcats to pace Michigan to a 5-0 victory. In a makeup doubleheader Sun- day, the Wolverines swept Western Michigan in non-conference action. In the first game, Kelly Forbis (8-5) had a strong outing in the 4-1 victory. The Wolverines scored twice in the first inning to take the early lead. In the fifth, Sieler continued her torrid weekend of hitting with an RBI single up the middle to score Karla Kunnen. Sieler was replaced on the base paths by pinch runner Mary Campana, who scored on a Tholl single to ice the Wolverine victory. In the nightcap, Michigan again jumped out to the early lead with three runs in the first inning. But Western Michigan tied the game in the bottom of the inning. With the game knotted, 4-4, in the top of the sixth, Michigan's Shelley Bawol's sacrifice grounder scored Kunnen to give Michigan the lead. Clarkson (8-6) shut down the Broncos in the rest of the game to earn the complete game victory. GILL Continued from page 3 scribbles of four years of schooling, and applying them in the work place. And it means packing up, saying goodbye to the friends made in the previous four years, and for some, just hoping you receive a card at Christmas time from them. Time to change. Time to move on. Yet, you can bet, in the next week or two, there'll be a lot of looking back. Looking back to that first fall Saturday when you were a student, and learning what a football day in Ann Arbor was all about. Kielbasa and hotdogs, Bob Ufer playing out of some fraternity house where you heard there might be a big party later that night. "Wow," you said. "So this is college. No wonder my parents never wanted me to leave. I might like this." And there you were, in awe of your surroundings. Learning that on this day, you helped comprise the largest crowd to watch a football game anywhere in the nation. Then you learned it happened every weekend you came to the stadium. You remember your first trip to Crisler Arena. You'd see these guys like Gary Grant and Glen Rice play right in front of your own eyes. Yet, the place was so quiet, and so dark. It just wasn't as much fun as you thought. There was the last game at Crisler Arena your first year here, winter of 1988. Steve Stoyko, the Mark Koenig of yesteryear, made a basket near the close of the game. He couldn't help but rejoice. The crowd went nuts. Then afterwards, Grant told the crowd, "If I had to do it all again, I'd have gone to UCLA." Kidding? Who knows? And then we come to women's basketball. Most never made it down to Crisler for all those games. But all of a sudden, they turned into a good team - winning in their first NCAA tournament game ever. Sure, there were downsides. When recalling your college days, the only thing you might remember about the baseball team was that they became the first Michigan team ever to be sanctioned by the NCAA. A tainted program, they were - yet now filled with quality people at- tempting to erase their black eye. You might just remember the hockey team for a few off-ice antics that created a bad image for the en- tire team. You might remember singing the old "Hey, Hey, Goodbye" song to the Miami football team your sophomore year - only to see an in- credible comeback that left the Hurricanes singing "The Victors," 31-30. And you might remember the disappointment the basketball team gave us the year after its national championship. Then there was the day that each one of us cried a little bit, when Bo Schembechler told us during a press conference carried live by all three Detroit TV stations that, "The toughest thing I ever had to do is give up my football team. ... (takes a deep breath) ... But I'm doing it." There were disappointments. We won't even mention the Michigan State football game this year, the hockey team's snub by the NCAA tournament selection last year, or its chilling 3-2 triple overtime loss to Bowling Green two years ago in the CCHA playoffs, which left Red Berenson saying, "It felt like your house just burned down." But there were those shining moments. Moments that will erase away the negatives as the years keep coming, and the mind grows more nostalgic and a little more nimble. The party on South University the night Michigan won the national-.. championship will, in a few years, be said to have lasted a week. They'll say that classes were can- celled, and that teachers gave out au- tomatic A's for anyone who could name all five starters on the team. That's a memory. It will grow. And for many people, the last great moment they witnessed at a Michigan sporting event happened a' few weeks ago, when the hockey team defeated Cornell in the decid- ing third game of the first round of the NCAA playoffs. Yost Ice Are- na became bedlam as the final sec- onds ticked off the clock. And no one wanted to stop cheer- ing. As quiet as the arena had been a few years ago, it now rocked. The players skated around the rink saluting the fans. Finally, only three seniors remained on the ice. They hugged their coach. And then they disappeared, too. If there's a moment to freeze frame a final sports memory of your Michigan days, that's the picture. And then, life goes on. .
