Baseball beats Bradley 10-5 in NCAA Regional Opening Round
Michigan plays their first NCAA Tournament game in seven long years at 2pm.
Michigan (37-23) takes on Bradley (35-19) in the Opening Round of the NCAA Louisville Regional.
The last time Michigan played in an NCAA Tournament game away from home, they won the 2007 NCAA Nashville Regional to advance to the Super Regionals for the first and only time ever.
First pitch is at 2pm.
Game is on ESPN3.
edit: Kendall Patrick. That is all.
See you tomorrow at 4pm.
I'm on my way out the door right now. Anyone else gonna be there?
Are you, and everyone else, wearing hats? I hear it's a tradition in Louisville.
How many teams make the NCAA tourney? I know I'm horribly behind on this. But the bandwagon is driving through town and I need to chase it and jump on
64.
16 regionals of 4 teams.
Then, 8 Super Regionals with a best out of 3 matchup of 2 teams. Winners advance to Omaha. Since moving to the south, I have come to love college baseball, NASCAR...not so much.
By the way, will also be cheering for my alma mater, College of Charleston. Go Cougars!
So Bradley finished 3rd in a strong Missouri Valley behind Missouri State and Dallas Baptist (both top 15).. and Bradley is top 25 RPI. Do we know what to watch for?
then I guess hard hats would be a better option today
At work, any way I can stream?
You can watch on WatchESPN, or if you just want radio you can listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWEB9N4JNzU
Ogden strikes out the first batter.
Nice to see us getting squeezed again. Shoulda been a punch out. Instead a single...
oh wow, this is not going well. you don't see that happen very often.
Dropping that pop up was a real head scratcher. Looking like the bad news bears.
Wow.
Definitely jitters out there.
Apparently Michigan's catcher has the weakest arm of all time.
Weird foul ball

oh my god....
Oh for the love of God.......
thank Christ that that was a foul.
Bakich needs to clam them down.
Oysters would be a better choice than clams
this is hard to watch
What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening.

Someone explain to me why the pop up to the catcher was not caught. Is this really what college baseball looks like now?
yep, college baseball players across the country do not catch infield pop ups now.
I have never seen anything that embarrassing at this level. The last games I watched were when I lived near USC (NTUSC) and they were really good, so I just assumed most teams could make routine plays.
Sac fly scores a Bradley runner. Down 1-0.
Long game. Just some nerves out there.
The pitcher usually shouldn't catch a popup. But in that situation, the pitcher has to catch that ball. Much easier for him to do so rather then the 1st or 3rd baseman catching it on the run or the catcher trying to catch it backwards. And now it's just cost them a run.
Liner ends the inning. Could have prevented that run.
Benedetti with a leadoff double!
Bruder on with a base hit and there's two on with none out
Maezes advances the runners into scoring position with a sac bunt.
I do not like the choice to bunt there. Better off letting a guy swing the bat there. It's not like it's the bottom of the 9th and we just need one run.

Kevin White ties it with a single!!
Johnny Slater scores Bruder on a sac fly and Michigan leads 2-1!!
TWO RUN JACK! NIIIIICE!
Bottom of the lineup coming up big!!!
No doubt on that one
I can't figure out how to expand the ESPN3 screen on my computer.
Hover mouse over picture, click the arrows going out like a box

What a crazy turnaround after looking absolutely dismal to begin the game
