BACK-TO-BACK: Michigan Softball wins 2019 B1G Championship
Back-to-back and 11 of the last 12 B1G Championships
The Wolverines have completely turned around their season tenfold.
This Michigan team became the first since 2001 to fall out of the Top-25 after a bad start to the season, starting 6-8.
Since then the Wolverines have gone 34-3 and have clinched the B1G Championship with a 22-1 record. The 21st in program history.
GO BLUE!!!!
What a turnaround!! Outstanding effort the whole season!! Go Blue!!!
OUTSTANDING!!!!! GOBLUE!
Go blue! Amazing work ladies and Coach Hutch!
FIRE HUTCH!!!!
Go Blue!
Go Blue!
And it very well looks like this will be an outright championship because Northwestern is getting their ass kicked right now.
Very impressive performances by Blair and Canfield who are now hitting 430 and 400 respecitively.
Michigan still needs Minnesota to beat Northwestern to win the title out right and get the #1 seed
Minnesota is up 4-0 bottom of the 4th and threatening once again
Minnesota takes NW 4-0 so M outright champions.. Great team, great coach. Congrats ladies!
Way to turn it around ladies and congrats on the B1G championship. Keep working and hopefully OKC will be in your future
That is how to finish a season, ladies. See a championship, go get it.
Well done.
Hail to the Victors! Quite the turnaround.
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!
GO BLUE!!!
GoBlue!
Great job ladies! On to Bloomington, the sky's the limit.
The outright B1G Champions earn the 1 seed in the B1G Tournament next weekend in Bloomington.
1 Michigan FINALLY gets the early session. The B1G (stupidly) determines the gametimes by where the host team is. They usually get the 3rd game of the day. Indiana is thankfully the 7 seed so they organized it so they would get the 4:30pm game so Michigan is in the early session for the first time since winning the championship back in 2015.
1 Michigan will face the winner of 8 Nebraska/9 Illinois on Friday at 1:30pm on BTN in the B1G Tournament Quarterfinals.
Exciting season and can’t wait to see what the postseason brings. Go Blue!
I don't follow the regular season as closely as I should. Do they have a shot at taking it all this year or is Oklahoma too damn good?
Hell yeah! Amazing turnaround after that rough start. And if the people don't know, Lexi Blair is the next great Michigan All-America. Incredible year at the plate.
Must be a weird feeling for Northwestern to choke a championship away. Not sure they've ever gotten that far before
Rarely do sports feel like they work out that well for us. Michigan gets the sweep and Northwestern loses their last 2 games (after being undefeated in conference going into this weekend, right?) and we get the title
Bad Start perhaps but one has to look at the level of competition of those losses. Most were to top ten teams AND Michigan beat 3 ranked Pac 12 teams in #1 UCLA # 3 Washington and #16 Ariz St so I wouldnt really call it a bad start...Challenging start perhaps
The accomplishments of the softball team over the years have been just remarkable. Would love to see them win another NCAA championship some year.
Damn impressive work ladies!
