Husker men, women face crucial games From Staff Reports Nebraska men’s and wom en’s tennis teams face an impor tant weekend when they travel to Ames, Iowa, for matches with Colorado Saturday and Iowa State Sunday. The men, who are 6-13 over all and 1-3 in the Big Eight, arc coming off a big weekend after going 2-1 and upsetting the re gion’s second-ranked team, Wichita State. Men’s coach Kerry McDermott said the Huskers’ seed in next week’s Big Eight Championships will be deter mined by this weekend’s out come. The weekend is just as cru cial for the women, who stand at 9-7 overall and 2-3 in the con ference. Both the men and women conclude their regular season with the matches in Ames. Bellows Continued from Page 7 style because of shoulder problems. The submarine style spelled suc cess for Bellows, who has been used strictly in relief in college. “My game is getting ground balls and double plays,” he said. Bellows said he cherishes the role of closer. “I love it ” he said. “I get more appearances now. This way I get to throw every day. “Coach Sanders told me at the start of the spring that 1 was going to be the closer if 1 did well.” Bellows has performed well enough to keep the job. He picked up a save against Kansas State Wednes day and two saves over the weekend in the Huskers’ three-game sweep of Oral Roberts. Bellows said he was throwing his best ball now, and the whole Huskcr team, with the return of All-American Troy Brohawn, was also play ing well. “We’ve won our last (seven) games, and we just have to lake the rest of the week with the same attitude.” NU nitcher learns his art — again By Trevor Parks Staff Reporter__ Nebraska pitcher Craig Sanders had to start all over after having arthroscopic knee surgery before last season. Sanders, who suffered torn carti lage during the prcscason last year, said he had to learn the art of pitching all over again. “This past weekend, throwing in the bullpen, 1 picked up three or four things that I didn’t remember from before,” he said. For now, Sanders said he’s just happy to be on the mound, even though this season hasn’t gone like he had hoped it would. Sanders has a 1 -1 record, including a win over Northern Iowa. In his five appearances, Sanders has given up 20 Craig Sanders John Sanders hits and allowed 27 walks in 17 in nings. Although he hasn’t pitched a lot, Sanders said, he’s starting to get in the groove. “I’ve struggled,” Sanders said. “(Seventeen) innings in two years is not a lot. I still need to fine tune some things that arc rusty.” Sanders said he was just happy to return even though he didn’t come back in top shape. . „ “It was fun throwing again, ne said. “I appreciate practice time a little more.” , _ , Nebraska coach John Sanders, Craig’s dad, said the knee surgery really set his son back. “He’s starting all over again, John said. “He’sstruggled in spots,but he’s ready to accept that challenge.’ Sanders went 3-2 with an ERA of just 3.00 in his freshman year. He struck out 34 while only giving up 17 runs in 48 innings. “He’s stayed focused, given what could be a situation,” John said. “That’s not something that’s the eas iest to do.” Craig said he hoped to turn around his performance before the season ended. 1 Streak Continued from Page 7 game 14-4 and the second game 15-1. Sanders said the Huskers could not afford a letdown against Kansas State. The Wildcats aren’t as bad as they played on Wednesday, Sanders said. But Nebraska isplaying well, part ly because of the return of All-Amer ican pitcher Troy Brohawn, Sanders said. Brohawn returned to the lineup on April 1 after missing 25 games with a broken foot. Sanders said Brohawn’s presence had added confidence to the team. “It’s helped us mentally, but the main effect has been on the field,” Sanders said. “We have been playing well in all phases of the game. Brohawn adds to our pitching, and on Wednes day, we played flawlessly.” In the two outings since he re turned, Brohawn has pitched 14 in nings; has surrendered five hits, six runs and four walks; and has struck out 21 batters. The junior left-hander pitched six perfect innings in a 5-3 win over Oral Roberts on April 8. On Wednesday, Brohawn, 2-1, held Kansas State hit less for 5 1/3 innings in the first game of the doublchcadcr. “H is being here gives other people a feeling of relative security,” Sand ers said. Huskers win one; 2nd game delayed From Staff Reports_ The Nebraska softball team missed a doublchcadcr sweep over the University of M issouri Kansas City when the second game was suspended. Nebraska won the first game 11 -3 and was leading 9-2 in the nightcap when rain stopped play. Just before the game was to resume, a person collapsed in the stands. Emergency person nel arrived and the game was suspended. Muhammad Continued from Page 7 Muhammad said, “but I felt uncom fortable because of my ribs.” His liver is healed now, he said, but the pain in his ribs persists. Muhammad, who visited the doctor Wednesday afternoon, said he did not expect to participate in any heavy contact until fall. “It should be OK by then,” he said, “but I reallydon’t know. I have played with pain before, but never with a serious injury.” To make up for lost time, Muhammad, who will be a senior in the fall, will spend the entire summer in Lincoln—hundreds of miles away from his home in Compton, Calif. He spent last summer in Compton and was fortunate to return. In July, he was shot in the buttock during a dri vc by shooting. The bullet, still lodged in his buttock, narrowly missed vital organs. That allowed him to make a quick recovery. With all that behind him now, the Huskers’ most productive receiver from a year ago is itching to get out on the turf. “Everybody will be working hard this year,” he said, “because we know what we have to do to get back to where we were last year. And that s where we want to be this year." Muhammad led all Nebraska re ceivers last year by hauling in 25 passes for 383 yards and three touch downs. Behind him were split end Corey Dixon and tight ends Trumanc Bell and Gerald Armstrong, who all graduated. “We lose a lot just from the ability that they have to make the big play." he said. That’s not to mention their leader ship in the locker room, Muhammad said. Muhammad said he needed to add leadership to his game this season. Three juniors and two sophomores make up the rest of the top returning receivers. “We have got a lot of young re ceivers this year,” he saidf “Those guys arc going to need somebody to look up to, and I’ll be there for them.” 1 EASY AS PK.
