By Stev Taylor UNL survived two scares from Creighton University Tuesday to top the Blueiays, 7-5, in the first game of a doubleheader, and 6-5 In the second at the UNL diamond. i The Huskers unleashed a 13 -hit attack on the Bluejays in the first game with Norm Glismann cracking three singles and Paul Haas a triple and a single. Bob Leise had two of the Jays' six hits. Including a 400 ft. blast over the fence in right-center field. Dave Buehrer started the game for UNL and was staked to an early 3-0 lead. He had a no-hitter going until Leise's first-pitch home run in the fourth. The Bluejays scored two runs in that Inning to narrow the Husker lead to 3-2. The fifth inning proved to be the turning point in the contest. After the Huskers repelled a Creighton threat in the top of the inning, they roared back with four runs in the bottom half to move out to a 5-run lead. Bryant Akisada's 2-run double was the key blow as the Huskers paraded eight men to the plate in the fifth. , . ' , The Bluejays, who had been talking College World Series before the game, weren't ready to play dead yet, however. The visitors from Omaha countered with two runs in the sixth and put a severe scare into the Huskers in the seventh. UNL reliever Denny O'Doherty served up four walks in that stanza to walk in a run and load the bases. So with the score 7-5 and two outs, Kirk Eymann was brought in to pitch to Bluejay catcher George Maness. Eymann blew the third strike by Maness to $al away the dramatic win. :M of semon no end to gymnasts ' work pc.apa. would think, the season ended for the UNL gymnastics tssjn last March at the Big 8 meet. But don't expect to find Husker gymnasts taking it easy In the off season. In fact, they're still hard at work. , Take, for example, Gene Mackie, Gary Jeurink and Duane West; All will compete In the U.S. Gymnastics Federation (USGF) regional meet in Ames, Iowa, April 26-27. That event is a preliminary qualifying meet for the World Games in June. . ' According to Jeurink, "I'm out to gain some experience, try out some new moves and get some be tie. idaas from the gymnasts there." But for Mackie, the meet will be his first since the Big 8 Invitational Tournament last fall, after which he suffered the broken leg that sidelined him this semester. "I'm healthy now and have been working real hard for this meet," said Mackie. "If ! have a couple more good workouts, I'll be right In there. "I'm rusty In a few events," he continued, "but by the same token, I'm a lot better in some events too." orry stunke fctockie agreed that like Jeurink and West, the meet will provide him with a learning experienca because the range of competition in the meat will go beyond 'the college level, including many men who have had International experience. Husker Coach Francis Allen said Mackie "is in better shape, and mentally is a better gymnast after the long layoff. "This meet isn't just a training meet, but is to get these guys up In the lights so people will know who they are." he added. In order to advance to the USGF national meet in California, a competitor must place in the top seven in regional competition, The tourney Is strictly all-around competition, with gymnasts being judged on their performance in all events instead of those they specialize In. Beyond the USGF meet, the Huskers are into their vital off season program, which for the most part involves four practice sessions a week during the summer, plus competition in various clinics. According to Mackie, "Some people take vacations fishing or camping; we take vacations at dirties." ' "Off season is a time when you learn new moves for next, season's routines, work on techniques you need to improve on, improve different aspects of flexibility and strength you may be weak In and practice events In which Improvement is needed," hc said. "' "We r$a!!y look forward to the summer," Mackie added. "It's a fun, more relaxed atmosphtre. You cb the things you want to, end it is mors enjoyabia from a physical standpoint since you're not tearing yourself down each day." Allan, who himself wiii conduct three clinics this summer for younger boys and girls, said the summer Is a time when the gymnast can pfy, md play in a healthy envlronmsnt. "We'll have a real busy summer, and hopefully, a profitable one." he said. page 16 vednc-day, epril 17, 1974
