Junior southpaw Brett Adcock (1-1, 1.04 ERA) gets the start on the mound tonight. Following the shutout yesterday, Michigan's team ERA improved to 1.44, which is #4 in NCAA D-I.
EDIT: Michigan had a 4-1 lead heading into the bottom of the 9th, the Rainbow Warriors tied it up to send it to extra innings, and then the Wolverines win 5-4 on a RBI single from Harrison Wenson in the 10th. Full recap is here, but see the posts below for some good descriptions of the action from San Diego Mick and others (as well as the postgame comments of Erik Bakich in the embedded podcast).
Adcock deserved better than a no decision, going 7 innings, giving up just 1 earned run on 2 hits and 2 walks, while striking out a career-high 12.
The teams will wrap up the series today playing two, both scheduled for 7 innings. Unfortunately, there's no live stream for either game. There is live audio; see this page for the links. 5:05 ET is the time for the first game.

1-0 Michigan after Johnny Slater comes through in the top of the second with a 2-out double down the right-field line to drive in Lugbauer from first.

Hawaii ties the score in the bottom of the 3rd on a double and two wild pitches from Adcock (who also has 6 Ks.)

Raoul, Go Blue!
Michigan Leads after 6. Adcock looks really strong.
almost let hawaii start a rally with 2 outs and nobody on in the B8th by calling the batter safe at 1st when he was obviously out and then the next guy walks but we struck out the next batter, fuck officiating in all sports!
3-1 M T9th
in the 9th with men on 1st and 3rd and we succeed with a suicide squeeze, 4-1 heading into the B9th
1st two guys were put out easily
next guy hits a seeing eye infield hit
next guy strikes out but ball gets by the catcher and he's safe
next guy has another seeing eye infield hit, guy scores
next guy hits a base hit, two guys score
men on 1st and 3rd and count goes to 3-1 and a pass ball almost lets the guy from 3rd almost score but we luckily got him out at home on a bang, bang play, whew
extra innings we go
Quite the comedy of Hawaii coach/player being ejected for mouthing off to the umpires. The play at the plate at the bottom of the 9th was very close. The umpire crew hasn't been good either way in this game. Wolverines get a run in the top of the 10th to go up 5-4.
Crazy game to watch, really enjoyed the Hawaii commentators these past few nights.
scored in the T10th and mowed them down in the bottom of the inning, almost gave it away but ended up taking it anyway, 9-3 record now, good job Blue!
Michigan pitching staff combines for 20 strikeouts. That crazy bottom of the 9th inning is the only thing that kept this from being an easy Wolverine victory. Could have (and maybe should have) been a Hawaii victory if that call at the plate had gone the other way. My compliments to Hawaii for providing an excellent streaming broadcast.
too bad that stupid B9th created some stress but a win is a win.
