Complex’s 1st grand slam surprises
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter
and Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
A gamble by Kansas softball
coach Kalum Haack paid off twice
against Nebraska, but it backfired in a
big way the third
time—Haack said
he hadn’t counted
on Nebraska
catcher Ruth
Chatwin to hit the
first grand slam in
the history of the
Nebraska Softball
Complex.
Haack said he
intentionally walked Nebraska’s Jane
Sippel posts 50th career shutout Saturday
Kremcr the first two limes she batted
because the Jayhawks wanted to stay
away from the junior shortstop. He
said the strategy worked early be
cause the Comhuskers were unable to
take advantage of the free pass and
score.
But the third time Kremer was
intentionally walked, Chatwin fol
lowed up with a grand slam to lead the
Huskers to a 5-2 victory against
Kansas Saturday in a round-robin
invitational at the Nebraska Softball
Complex.
Nebraska also defeated Florida
Stale 5-0 Saturday, while Kansas
posted a 4-2 victory against the Semi
-1
noles. The Huskers avenged a 2-0 loss
to Kansas Friday by defeating Florida
State 3-0, while the Seminolcs beat
Kansas 2-1.
The Huskers used a walk by desig
nated player Leeanna Miles, singles
by Margie Ogrodowicz and Janelle
Frese, and Kremer’s intentional walk
to set the stage for Chatwin. Her blast
easily cleared the left-field fence.
Chatwin said she was happy with
her hit because it meant she is begin
ning to make a contribution. She said
because she bats behind Krcmcr, who
is hitting .400, she has to drive in runs.
“If I’m going to bat in the clean-up
spot, I’ve got to start doing my job,”
Chatwin said.
Nebraska coach Ron Wolforth
said he knew Chatwin had the ability
to hit a grand slam. He said Chatwin
was the Huskers’ best hitter during
fall and winter drills.
Wolforth said Nebraska also was
aided by the pitching of senior Lori
Sippel, who posted her 50lh career
shutout Saturday while striking out a
season-high 13 Florida State batters.
He said senior Donna Deardorff, who
shut out the Scminoles Friday and
defeated Kansas Saturday, also
pitched well.
Wolforth said Nebraska needs
consistent pitching from Sippel and
Deardorff. He said pitching has been
a mysterious aspect this season.
Florida Suite coach JoAnne Graf
said she was impressed with Sippel’s
pitching. She said Nebraska can rally
around Sipple and Deardorff and fin
ish the season on an upswing.
“I think they struggled a little bit
early, but that may be due to the
weather,” Graf said. “They got off to
a slower start than I thought they
would, but I think they’re coming
around real well.”
Wolforth said he still hopes Ne
braska, 24-13, can make a return trip
to the College World Series. He said
the Huskers will have to make a
strong showing next weekend, when
they travel to Ames, Iowa, to face
Iowa State on Friday and then com
pete in the Iowa State Invitational
Saturday and Sunday.
“Next weekend is very important
for us,” Wolforth said. “Iowa Slate
and Illinois State are both ranked
ahead of us in the region. This week
end helped erase some of the doubts in
our mind.”

Student football ticket sales to end Aug. 23;
new format for tickets includes advertising
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter
Students returning to campus next
fall with the assumption that they can
buy football tickets will be out of
luck.
Joe Selig, associate ticket man
ager, said student football ticket sales
will end Aug. 23 because classes
begin Aug. 29 and Nebraska’s first
home game is Sept. 3 against Utah
Slate. He said ticket sales will not be
continued until their traditional week
and a half after classes begin because
the ticket office needs ample time to
process the orders.
Selig said anyone who will be a
full-time student in the fall can turn in
a ticket application to the South Sta
dium Ticket Office. He said a person
doesn’t need to be a current student to
turn in an application, but must be a
full-time student in the fall.
Selig said student tickets will be
issued in a different formal this sea
son. He said students will be given
individual tickets for each game
■
rather than a single ticket that is good
for the entire year.
“It gives us the opportunity to sell
advertising on the back, and it is better
for the students,” Selig said.
Selig said the new system will
benefit students because they can
leave unneeded tickets at home and
not have to worry about losing them.
He said students still will have to
show an identification card that
matches the Social Security number
on their tickets to get into the stadium.
Selig said tickets will cost $42.
