Unfortunately, the home schedule isn't as attractive as last year's.  We have the Big Ten schedule plus 4 MAC schools (EMU, WMU, CMU, BGSU).  The first home games are against Bowling Green on Wednesday March 30 at 4 pm and against Indiana on April 2 & 3 at 2 pm each day.

Probably the best home games will be--

A 2-game series against Iowa on April 23 & 24 (Saturday at 6 pm, Sunday at 2 pm)

A doubleheader against Ohio State on Wednesday, May 4 (first game at 5 pm).

Senior night against Michigan State on Friday, May 13 (7 pm).

Save some time on your calendar for a regional on May 20-22 and a super-regional the next weekend.  If Michigan lives up to its pre-season raking, they will almost certainly host a regional and are about 50/50 to host a super-regional.
