SB looks to rebound @ NEB
The SB Team looks to have a much better day at the plate today as compared to yesterday. In yesterday's loss, M only mustered 4 hits in a 1-0 loss.
Today, Romo hit a 2 run HR in the top of the 1st for an early 2-0 lead. It looks like the bats were put in the oven over night to warm them up.
Sara gets the ball to start the game in the circle.
for Romo, making up for lost time.
I hope to see her pitch more. I've seen her pitch live, and when shes on, she is on. I doubt we'll see her this series,but hopefully soon.
She started the Florida game the first weekend of the season and that did not go well. But she's been hitting so well it might almost be better for her to focus a majority of the time on that aspect of the game.

That would Romo's first career hit in Lincoln.
still 2-0 us.
still 2-0 us. This game is moving along, not much action.
I'm kind of expecting a blowout for MICH. Revenge game.
in this cold weather.
still 2-0 us.
Frustrating - we've missed a lot of chances to extend the lead, and now the Huskers are threatening with no one out in the 6th. Gotta limit the damage here...
After facing runners at the corners with no outs, Betsa comes in and rescues the inning, ceding just a run! 2-1 heading into the 7th. We really could use some insurance here - one run lead makes me very nervous!
Ask, and you shall receive! HUGE 2 run blast from Si-Lo, and Michigan leads 4-1 with one out, top 7! Some much-needed runs to give Betsa little more to work with when she comes back out.
I told you that putting the bats in the oven works.
1-2-3. and we are home free! Michigan evens up the series at a game apiece! Rubber match tomorrow will be a big one, both for the Big Ten and national standings!
Great reponse. Glad Romero has now silenced the idiots on commentary at BTN about her play in lincoln.
They kept trotting out the same tired stat, 40 times last night. Ignoring the fact that Michigan has only played at Nebraska once prior to this year since they joined the conference: her freshman year 3 years ago.
Yep, 4-1 final. Driesenga went 5 strong innings, then struggled a little in the 6th. Fortunately, Betsa came in and slammed the door HARD. A good combined effort, the kind of thing we'll need against these tougher teams.
Great bounceback win! An side note about the scheduling:
It's really too bad the Big Ten does their softball schedules based on the football East/West divisions (where you play your conference travel partner (ours is MSU) two games, everyone else in your division three games, and only face two teams from the other division). I wish Michigan would play Minnesota and Nebraska (almost) every year. At least Ohio State is good this year.
Since the Big Ten expansion Michigan has played 3 game series against the West division:
2015: @ Minnesota, vs. Iowa
2016: @ Nebraska, vs. Northwestern
Which means they'll see neither of the top West Division teams next season, which could make for an even weaker than usual conference schedule.
This was the 1600th win in program history.
Thanks.
SuperGuides rule!
