Attention: M Baseball 4pm ESPN 2
Opening round Regional games
Winner's Bracket pits 3 seed M VS 1 seed L'ville
Winner needs one win tomorrow to advance to the Super Regionals (sweet 16) next weekend.
Loser plays an elmination game tonight and would need to win 2 tomorrow to advance.
Forgot to mention:
FIRE BAKICH
The if necessary game is Monday. Hopefully we only need three games though.
so no DHers except the elim game tonight? Crazy compared to the softball set up which oftn has teams playing 15-20 innings in a day
There is no doubleheader today for anyone. If we lose today, then there would be one tomorrow and then the if necessary game Monday.
Two tomorrow if M loses today. Oregon then Louisville. Need to beat Louisville twice. Monday if necessary.
Softball 7 innings vs 9 and the underhand fast pitch does not require as much arm rest as baseball so I think that’s why they do more playoff doubleheaders. Plus the baseball probably draws better ratings, so they stretch it out.
The fact is, the softball tourney gets far bigger tv ratings than baseball. You could look it up.
Loser actually plays an elimination game tomorrow at noon then would need to win an afternoon game against the winner of today's game and another game Monday.

Game starts on ESPNews.
Let's Go Blue! Bake the Cardinals!
Not getting off to a good start
out
Single
HBP
At least we got out of the inning w/o a run scoring.
All is well that ends well. Birds strand 2.
Damn, ball caught despite the collision.
Pitching & channel change.
Michigan going to the pen in the 2nd inning
Two free bases 2 hits
bullpen early for M
LV goes up 1-0 in the 2nd and not out of the inning yet
Not sure why Walker Cleveland started.
MGoPodCast was concerned about our pitching and felt we wouldn't advance because of it. Not a good start for the hurlers.
Ump is a Louisville fan
Bases now loaded with Cardinals with a 21 homer this year guy coming up.
21 homer this year guy grounds out! Inning over - could have been way worse.
0-1 LV
3 up 3 down top of 3rd. Only down 1-0. Batters up
WOO! 2-run homer!! 2-1 U-M!!
Clark was due
He smashed that. For some reason I half expected the RF to pull off some miraculous catch.
And another one gone!!! 3-1 U-M!!!
OMG OMG OMG
Safe!
Mesmerizing.
Absolutely!
We shouldn’t have to lose a challenge for them getting it wrong but whatever. Here we go buckle up.
I was going to up-vote you, but I saw your MGoPoints total was a lovely round 16,000! (As it is below. So can't ruin that.)
The lineup may have Poland downloaded. All started with Velazquez who struck out but had a nine pitch at bat.
A great day for Poland!
Joey V. !!

Poland is struggling with runners on base.
5-2. Keep them coming.
42 base hits 27 RBIs sounds about right.
That a way Denner. Back up to bat.
This offense though.
6-2 U-M!
Now 7-2 U-M!
