Eastern time.
I just came in here to mention that
B1G Champs!!!
Big Ten Tournament Champs!!
Made it scary with two on and one out in the 7th, but Derkowski got the last two outs she needed to finish it off!
I wonder if there’s any chance they’ll get to host a regional?. Probably not.
Don’t think they’ll host but that win puts Michigan in the 2 seed for the region they go to, I imagine.
I hope they get sent somewhere favorable.
Sick last second goal for the walk off win!
Beat Kentucky!
Scott Bell mentioned this was the the best weekend in women’s sports in quite a while and he’s right! W Lax and W Tennis in quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament and softball won the big ten tournament. Fun weekend in Ann Arbor.
And the baseball team took 2 of 3 vs. Purdue. They’re in a 3-way tie for the 3rd best record in the B1G standings at 13-8.
NIL is great!
A great day for Michigan Softball! After losing by a run to Kentucky in the bottom of the 7th yesterday, they get a walk-off HR from Maddie Erickson to beat University of Northern Colorado 4-2 in Game 1 and then get two 2-run HR’s against Kentucky to win 4-2.
They’ll play the host team Oklahoma State tomorrow at 3pm. They’ll need to beat them twice but advancing to Sunday is a big accomplishment.
The first of the two HRs was hit by catcher Lilly Vallimont, who had a puffed up right forearm after taking a foul ball off of it in the 1st inning. It looked pretty bad but she gutted it out. Hopefully, some ice can help her out tonight.
The Softball season is over.
Okie St. 4
Michigan 1
The Cowgirls pitcher was on fire after giving up a run in the 1st.
It was still an incredible bounce-back season.
I don’t know whether Keke Tholl is going to come back for a 5th year or not. If so, they will be pretty loaded. Even if not, the future looks pretty bright.
The Baseball Team is a 4-seed in the B1G Tournament and plays Iowa this afternoon:
Michigan and Iowa are tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 9th.
Extra innings.
