baseball: M 5, PSU 1
The Michigan baseball team scored 5 runs in the 8th inning to sink Penn State today. They managed just 2 hits off PSU starter TJ Jann today despite striking out just once. Jann left after the 7th, and with 2 out in the 8th PSU proceeded to walk the bases full. M then got consecutive hits from Michael O'Neill, Zach Zott, and Kevin White.
Trent Szkutnik was outstanding, walking just 1 and striking out 12 over 6 2/3 innings. Matt Ogden finished the 7th and pitched the 8th, and Jacob Cronenworth finished up.
The team's record is now 18-14, 5-2 in conference.

That's the seventh-straight victory for the Wolverines, their longest winning streak since the team won 9 in a row in 2010.
Michigan Baseball just tweeted that "Szkutnik's 12 strikeouts are the most by a Wolverine since Chris Fetter struck out 13 against Illinois in 2009."
I am glad. It appears things are going vise versa from the previous two years. Last year and the year before that would've been Michigan with the 1 run lead then blowing it. Good to see Bakich turning things around, hopefully they can get back into the Big Ten Tournament this year. Go Blue.
