The Michigan Softball team won again today by defeating Tulsa 4-3. Hutch gave the ball to Stephanie Speierman. She struggled early and gave up 3 ER on 6 hits, while having 3 Ks and 1 BB. She pitched 4.2 Innings. Jordan Taylor pitched 2.1 innings in relief. She faced 9 batters, with 0 runs, 4Ks, 2 hits, 0 BB.
The offense was led by Amanda Chidester going 1-2 (double) and knocking in 2. Stephanie Kirkpatrick had a single and an RBI.
We play again today (19FEB11) at 1pm against #26 UMass.
Wooooo!
Home games
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.
Look at all those directional
Look at all those directional schools! Still, it's nice to have all the State Championship games at home this year.

When is our first big-time home game? Might be fun to make it out for that...
