NelSaskan Thursday, April 28,1988 Nebraska sweeps pair from Northern Iowa Tegtmeier wins game behind hitting onslaught Bv Steve Sipple Senior Reporter_ Nebraska freshman pitcher Doug Tcgtmeier is learning college base ball in a safe environment. On Wednesday, he was very safe. Tcgtmeier, a right-hander from Beatrice, started on the mound in the second game of a doublehcadcr and when he left after the fourth inning, Nebraska had built a 18-3 lead against Northern Iowa. The Comhuskers went on to a 25-3 win and a sweep at Buck Bcllzcr Field. “They/re bringing me along slowly,”’ Tegtmeier said. “With today’s offense, you feel safe about anything. I know that if I make a mistake, it’s in a forgiving atmos phere.” Nebraska, which improved its record to 40-13, won the first game 11-2. The Panthers fell to 6-35. Tcgtmeier said pitching against teams like Northern Iowa will help to prepare him for future games against teams like Big Eight-leader Okla homa State— the Huskers’ opponent this weekend. Tegtmeier improved his record to 5-1 by pitching four innings and giv ing up three runs, six hits and striking out four. Although Tegtrncier’s num bers weren’t overwhelming, Husker pitching coach Tom Pratt said his fastball was. A radar gun behind home plate had his pitches clocked as high as 89 mph, Pratt said. “That’s above average for a major league fastball,” Pratt said. Tegtmeier, who was picked in the eighth round by the New York Yari r" 1 — 1 1 ■■ kees in last June’s draft, saia ne wasn’t satisfied with his speed. “That’s not pood enough because I know I can throw harder,” he said. Nebraska backed Tegtmeicr’s pitching by scoring 17 runs in the first two inn ings on 12 hits and five walks. The Huskers had 18 hits in the game. Husker right fielder Ken Ramos did most the damage. After going hitless in five at bats in the first game, Ramos came back by going 4-for-4, including a fourth-inning grand slam. The blast, his fifth of tne year, gave the Huskers a 22-3 lead. A three-run double by Joe Feder ico later in the inning finished the scoring. Ramos finished the game with four runs scored and seven RBIs. Pratt said Tegtmeier has benefit led from pitching in mid-week games against non-conference opponents. “He’s got to learn a little more about pitch placement and pilch se lection,” Pratt said. “But I’m really happy with him. He’s starting to turn the comer.” The doubleheader sweep in creased Nebraska’s home win streak to 23 games. In the first game, Ron Crowe be gan an eight-run sixth inning with a solo home run and Tim Pettengill capped the burst with a two-run single to lead Nebraska. Panther starter Kevin Willard had entered the sixth with a one-hiucr and a 2-0 lead. He got the loss for the Panthers, dropping his record to 0-1. Paul Henry, 4-0, got the win in relief of starter John Leplcy. Henry pitched four scoreless innings, allow ing three hits, while striking out two. Leplcy struck out nine in five in nings work, equalling his career high. He also struck out nine in 1986 against Northwest Missouri State.

Orioles lose again; late rally falls short MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The winless Baltimore Orioles tied an American League record with their 20th straight loss Wednesday night, falling to the Minnesota Twins 7-6 when their two-run rally in the ninth inning ended as Fred Lynn grounded out. —.— l —— A night that began with so much promise when the Orioles scored three in the first inning, Finished again in failure. Baltimore play ers stood in stunned silence in the eighth inning when Kent Hrbek and Tim Laudncr broke a 44 tie with ieadoff homers in the eighth against reliever Bill Scherrer, 0-1. A walk, balk and throwing error by pitcher Doug Sisk added another run, along with insult. The Orioles never quit, however, as they managed two runs that were charged to Juan Berenguer, 3-2.
