Baseball at Louisville: NCAA Louisville Regional
After pounding regional 2 seed Bradley yesterday, 10-5, Michigan has a much more difficult task today.
Michigan will play regional host Louisville who is the No. 3 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The game is expected to have a crowd of over 6,000 as Louisville's game last night against Morehead State had that many.
Bradley won the early game today 9-4, eliminating Morehead State and advancing to the second elimination game.
This certainly isn't the first time this Michigan team has faced steep odds. In the B1G Tournament, they knocked off #4 Illinois who had won of 27 of their previous 28 games.
Michigan is arguably the hottest team in the nation right now. Let's see if they can duplicate the magic of the 2007 Nashville Regional where they upset 1 Vanderbilt to win it.
First pitch is at 4pm.
Game is on ESPN3.
SEE YA!!!!!
HOME RUN!!! CARMEN BENEDETTI GIVES MICHIGAN A 1-0 LEAD!
gives us a 1-0 lead!!
Nearly another Michigan home run in the same spot. Headed to the 5th.
In softball, the #2 seeded Ducks are gone. We get the winner of Alabama/LSU.
Sophomore.
I believe he is a sophomore.
That's Adcock's 6th K.
Great grab by Cronenworth!
Go Blue!!
Another double play!!
Big double-play!
Leadoff man in Cronenworth is hit by the pitch and is on with none out.
sorry, but what a horrible bunt.
I can't figure out which set of jerseys I like least.
Whew. Great catch by Kevin White.
I wonder when the director is going to tell this announcer that "irregardless" isn't a word . . He has used it at least twice now . . . :)

Oh, man.
What a kick in the dick that was...
Fuuuuucccckkkkk
Shit.
2 out 2 run HR by Louisville in the 7th. They're up 2-1 now.
Walks are killer, especially 2-out walks in a 1-run game.
Still have 9 outs to get a run, though.
Well, that's what happens when you can't get some run support. Let's get some damn runs in.
UGH
And sorry -
clearly my fault.
well fugg, I open the game and the first pitch I see is blasted over the fence. I should probably close the window to let Michigan come back.
always makes you feel like you're cursed or you've just cursed them or both.
The worst.
yep, thrilled to see them up 1-0 and it lasted exactly 5 seconds. hate lville.
This inning will decide the game.
ESPN3 is usually where they put their bottom of the barrel announcers.
Okay, it was unorthodox, but we've got a runner on second! 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, need a big hit to tie the game here.
Well, there goes the inning
I'm thrilled for the softball team, but right now I'm really down. Worked all day (no, I do not normally work on Saturdays), watched the Rangers play horrible hockey last night to fall in game 7, and now this lack of run support and Lville taking advantage. I REALLY hope this team pull this one out.
Rags just played so fucking weak, but fuck them - they played with no intention to impose their will -
moving on and all in for UM Softball!
Bryan Pall relieves Adcock.
I wish these announcers knew how to pronounce names.
Hate to say it, but this one is probably over. Neg away WD.
