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.
that guy is near impossible to hit. You've got to look for something and if you're wrong, there it is.
Seems easy to criticize, hard to have a good swing in that spot.
have to like the battle out of our kids.
Really unfortunate brain lock in the top of the 9th.
I love the fight in these kids, i expect them to continue to fight, go blue!
People are getting a little greedy here.
This team wasn't even supposed to make the NCAA Tournament and they beat three ranked teams in their last seven games to get there.
They won an NCAA Tournament game and have a chance to win another tomorrow. Louisville is a very good team so people should be very encouraged by Michigan's play today.
If the ump wasn't blind, the game would be in extra innings at 3-3 right now. On the road, at the house of the 3 seed.
"College baseball is awful"
Really? You say something stupid like that in a college baseball thread and aren't expecting a negative response?

It would have been a huge win for the program. Our team is playing fairly well though. Not done yet!
