Michigan baseball blasts Northwestern 12-4
Just got back from the game. Two rain delays made the game go pretty long. The offense continues its onslaught.

Michigan as a program is 3 wins away from 2800 all-time.
Barring them crapping the bed like they did earlier this week against UIC, they should be in the B1G Tournament.
Sad. If they would've beaten UIC, they would have maybe had a fighting chance at an at-large bid.
That loss really screwed their RPI. Gonna have to do amazing things like winning their next 5 regular season games including sweeping #12 Oklahoma State next weekend to get back into the conversation of an at-large bid.
Michigan baseball make it to the college world series. I think I was in first grade the last time they made it to Omaha.
Michigan has clinched a spot in the 8-team Big Ten tournament: there are 5 teams that will end up at or below .500, and Michigan is guaranteed to end up above .500.
1. Illinois (16-1)
2. Iowa (16-3)
3t. Maryland (12-7)
3t. Ohio State (12-7)
5. Michigan (13-9)
6. Michigan State (11-8)
7. Indiana (9-10)
8. Nebraska (8-10)
9. Minnesota (7-12)
10. Penn State (6-12)
11. Rutgers (5-13)
12. Northwestern (5-14)
13. Purdue (2-16)
If Maryland & OSU split their 2 remaining head-to-head games this weekend while Michigan completes the sweep of Northwestern, Michigan will move into 3rd place heading into the final weekend of conference play.
It isn't happening. Mihcigan state is 30 spots higher than us in rpi and is on the bubble. You have to get into the top 45 to feel anything close to comfort and we are currently at 69. Not even winning out the regular season is jumping us over 20 spots.

The biggest surprise has to be Illinios! That is a damn good record despite their lack of big time opponents.Last year they were 32-21 and a B!G record of 17-7. So, they are playing good baseball.
There goes the at-large bid for sure.
