New Lineup Fails to Revive Normal Players

Even a revised lineup failed TO
lift Michigan Normals baseball
team out OF the doldiums Friday
as the Hurons lost to Wayne Uni
versity, lis, at Briggs Field.
Coach Ray Sites benched Andy
Newlands. senior outfielder, and
moved Walt Sierra from right 10
center. Big Pat Heffernan took
over Siera's place in right field.
Sites also shuffled the Huron
batting order, leaving only Sierra
and Mike Drusbacky, No. ! and 2
respectively, in their accustomed
positions.
All Of this experimentation went
for naught as the Tartars scored
their second win of the season at
the expense of the Hurons. The
only other victory Wayne has
chalked up this year is the lis
beating the Tartars handed the
Ypsilanti team at Detroit nearly
two weeks ago.
Although powerful at the plate,
the Hurons fielded atrociously and
received only average pitching
from Sophomore Sig Gretzner.
Seven defensive errors aided
Wayne in scoring its huge total
OF runs.
Michigan Normal has commit
ted SO errors in nine games this
season. an average Of more than
four contest. The .@uddy infield
undoubtedly accounted for several
OF the Huron miscues Friday.
The ball game was a tight az
fair for five innings. Then the
Tartsrs commenced to rampage,
counting three runs in the sixth.
one each in the seventh and
eighth and four In the ninth.
Michigan Normal's five runs
were scored as follows:
First inning After two were
out. Capt. Joe Borovich reached
first safely on a leg" hit, a slow
roller to shortstop. Chuck oxley
drew base on balls. and Heffer-
nan lined a single into right
field to enable Borovich TO step
across home plate.
Second inning Johnny Shada
opened the inning auspiciously by
looping a Texas League single into
left field Joe Grady's sacrifice
bunt put him in position to score
when Billy Lamiman followed with
a blast down the third base line.
Fifth inning With BoroWch
residing on second,, the result of
his third single Of the day and a
stolen base, Heffernan punched a
3i0.foot home run over the short
centerfield fence. Heffernan'g
four-ply wallop was the only eX-
tra-base hit Of the game.
Eighth inning 49, Walt Sierra
managed 10 obtain free passage t.
first on a base on balls Then Mike
Drusbacky singled into center
Sierra running TO third base. Al
though Borovich- grounded out 10

play.
