They also had good pitching for eight innings from Bob Welch, who was credited with a save in their first-round victory over Maine.Welch, however, left the game after yielding a tieing run to Clemson in the ninth and reliver Mark Eighmey got credit for the victory.Bob (Welch) was really tired after the seventh inning, but he pitched pretty tough until the ninth,’’ Coach Ron Oestrike said. Mark (Eighmey) came in and , did a good job in relief.Clemson got two hits off Welch in the opening inning, but didn't get another one until the eighth. The Tigers' only run untilthe ninth was the result of a pair of walks and an infield error in the third inning.In the meantime. Eastern Michigan scored twice in the fifth and led 2-1 going into the ninth.They got their runs when Mike Lauerman, who singled to open the inning, was sacrificed to second by Bob Vinzthum. and came home when Brian Petroff singled to center. Petroff advanced to third on a steal and a wild pitch and came home on a squeeze bunt by Dan Schmitz.Clemson tied it in the ninth when Billy Wingo doubled off the right field wall to score Mark McDaniel from second. McDaniel ran for Alan Hoover, who singled to open the inning and advanced on an infield out.Eastern Michigan won the game in the bottom of the tenth in the traditional percentage baseball manner — a sacrifice by Ted Dasen after leadoff batter Schmitz walked, an intentional walk to Glenn Gulliver, and a low-liner to left by Jerry Keller which fielder David Caldwell couldn’t quite get in quick enough to catch.Their (EMU’s) successful squeeze bunt, another sacrifice and three double plays hurt us the most, losing coach Bill Wilhelm said. “It looked like everylime we hit the ball good, they got two outs, he added in reference to EMU's double plays.Collage World Soriot Standing*Tuesday's Sctndula7:40 0.m. - Eastern Michigan 14S-14 * Aritons Stafe lt;4M)W-fcArtrone Staff W Arisone !-tE Mich 24 Maine *-•wash.
