Michigan Softball 8-0 Run Rule win in 5 over UNC

Submitted by Wolverine In Iowa 68 on March 1st, 2022 at 6:48 PM

Meghan Beaubien got the start and pitched the complete game (5-innings).  I saw Meghan pitch a couple times early in the season, and she looked a little shaky.  Today, she looked sharp and confident and took it right to UNC.  The Michigan D was on point, as almost every out was on fly balls or grounders.

A big 2nd inning saw Michigan score 4, with another big one in the 5th with another 4 scored.

The difference in defense was amazing.  Meghan had a pitch count of barely 60.  The UNC pitcher was over 120 when she got pulled in the top of the 5th after giving up a 2-run homer (her second home run of the inning).

 

UNC drops to 9-7 while Michigan moves up to 10-5, with another solid offensive performance.

GO BLUE!!!

They’ve only lost to one unranked team so far and have played their usual challenging non conference schedule. I think they will do really well in the bigten again this year.

Anybody know where Ellie Sieler has been? Don’t think she’s played since Clearwater.

 

EDIT: And just as I say that I see her pinch hitting.
