Michigan will be playing in #6 Texas Longhorns region. Rest of our regional is Eastern Illinois and UCF.
It looks like we face UCF to start.
Michigan vs. UCF is on ESPN2 right now. Act accordingly.
Not saying that the Rally Lens™ did all the work but Michigan went down 3-1 in the bottom of the 5th so I grabbed it for the 6th. An RBI-double from Conway and a 2-run HR from Putz later, and we have the lead!
Huge double-play to end the bottom of the 6th!
Michigan is holding on to a 4-3 lead.
That double play was so massive!
1-2-3 top of the 7th. (Rally Lens™ is for rally situations).
Hoping for a 1-2-3 bottom.
One down
Two down
Runner on 1st.
uh…she didn’t get hit, did she?
Don’t see it.
if they’d kept the citronauts mascot they’d go undefeated in every sport every year…but that’s not this timeline!
BALLGAME!!! Michigan wins!
Rough game against Texas. We had a 1-0 lead after the first inning and that was as good as it got.
They’ll play the loser of UCF vs. Illinois State at around 6pm tonight. With a win, they’ll get another crack (maybe two) against Texas tomorrow. If they lose, the season is over.
Michigan and UCF are tied at 3 in the bottom of the 3rd. Michigan was on the wrong side of a missed call at the plate. The ump called Langford out but replay looked like she was safe by maybe an inch. Replay didn’t think it was obvious enough to overturn.
An Erickson 2-out chopper plates Vallimont. Michigan leads 4-3 after 3.
Two errors, a bases loaded walk, and a 3-run double gives UCF a 7-4 lead. Yuck.
Michigan responds with 4 runs of their own. Fantucci, who had both errors in the top of the inning, started it all off with a double.
Michigan 8
UCF 7
Top of the 5th coming.
And we’re down again, 10-8. I think maybe the Texas heat (between 90-100 both days, with it hotter on the field) may be taking a toll on the pitchers. The wind has also been blowing out today.
The one bright side is that we’ve scored every inning and bat last.
Damn. No runs.
