Michigan at Maryland baseball open thread on BTN
The game just started on BTN. We lost 7-2 last night.
1-0 Michigan.
Not wasting any time.
RBI triple off the wall by Drew Lugbauer.
Bases were loaded with none out.
MD ties the game at 1-1, and that's it. Very fortunate to get out of there.
Michigan takes the lead on a sac fly by Ako Thomas. 2-1!
Nutoff starting to settle in. 2-1 Michigan
Michigan scores on a single by Johnny Slater (almost getting erased after a baserunning error), a hit batter, a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly. 2-1 Michigan.
I feel there is an important issue that we aren't discussing here: Maryland has starting pitchers named "Taylor Bloom" and "Tyler Blohm", and they are both from Severna Park, Maryland.
Jake Bivens almost had a single up the middle but it was gloved by the pitcher. We seem to be doing much better tonight in all facets of the game.
SAFE!!!
Harrison Wenson slides home and avoids the tag completely. Michigan now leads 3-1.
Tied again at 3-3. Ako drops the ball at 2B allowing two to score.
Michigan takes the lead once again in the 5th on a sac bunt RBI by Johnny Slater.
4-3 Michigan!
but just left a runner on 2nd.
Go BLUE!
Ahh baseball. How I've missed using you until football season.
First 1-2-3 inning of the game for Ryan Nutof. 4-3 Michigan.
The crack of an aluminum bat takes me back to high school. Despite my love for football, baseball was by far my best sport, athletically speaking.

I just watched my son start his first varsity game at Dodgertown in Vero Beach and get the win. He pitched a great game. His team, from outside Chicago, comes down during spring break to get some games in before the eason starts. It was a tremendous experience for all us, watching him pitch off the same mound as Koufax, Drysdale, Hersheiser and Valenzuela.
We're leaving a lot of people on base. Nutoff looks like his old self. This series and the msu series are going to be huge.
Tied again. Maryland hits a leadoff HR. 4-4
Alec Rennard relieves Nutof.
Rennard is a Junior transfer we picked up this offseason. One of several.
He's a JUCO transfer from Santa Rosa J.C.
3...2...1...
The transfer game is keeping us good. Some of our best players have been JUCOs or straight up transfers.
Jackson Glines, Cody Bruder, Kendall Patrick. Miles Lewis is one of the better players on the team this year and got to transfer from North Dakota after they dropped their baseball program last year.
And Rennard comes in and throws 2Ks to go 1-2-3 headed to the 8th.
Maryland takes the lead on a sac fly, play at the plate, Wenson called for obstruction.
Headed to the 9th.

Final score: 4-5
Michigan outhit Maryland. Left too many on base.
An entertaining game. Let's get one tomorrow.
