Wooooo! Hanging a banner is always a good thing. Our conference lead in titles just keeps growing. Nice job ladies!
Hutch is the best. Wins with 2 freshman pitchers!
Hutch for President.
Congrats ladies, another trophy for the display case.
The ladies erupted for seven runs in the bottom of third, and never looked back. Congratulations!
to Coach Hutch, the coaches, and the team on a terrific end to our reg season. Onward and upward. Go Blue!!
Outstanding
I know that we won the Big Ten, and I also know that we stumbled a little more than usual this year. How do our postseason chances look? Are we heating up at the right time possibly?
on that. It all depends on which regional we play in. We have been hitting very well lately. Lexy Moore is just a freshman but she is very good. It looks like we are hitting out stride at the right time.
I like our chances against Tennessee. I watched them once in Knoxville this year. We can beat them. Louisville is a different story. Louisville beat us on 10MAR 2-1. Haylie kept them in check and the offense was terrible.
We can beat Louisville in a best of 3 series.
Who would neg this post?
It's intriguing to me, that when excellent news is broken about one of our varsity teams, almost invariably, someone, somewhere will downvote the thread. We are all Michigan Wolverines, so that person is (or indeed, those people are) aware.
Having said that, congratulations to our softball team. Awesome achievement!
Maybe because there was already a thread two below this one with the exact same subject matter. Just a guess.
Either that or they really hate softball, which I can't imagine why.
I suspected the duplicate thread issue as well.... but don't all caps trump any earlier thread??
the title of the post 2 down was edited after the game......
As our resident softball poster, MGoSoftball gets a free pass from me to post all things softball related. The double post therefore does not count . . .
the double post guys. I posted from my BB and I did not see the other post.
regional. Is that correct?
Michigan doesn't rebuild, they just reload. Amazing that this team just keeps winning. Congrats!
are we rooting for Louisville or ND here? I mean, either way i root against ND, but i want others to know where they stand
Time to paint another year under Big Ten Champions on the scoreboard! Really awesome to see the seniors leave the field for the last time with the B1G trophy.
Congrats to the team.
Rebuilding years when you win an undisputed Big Ten Championship are the best kind of rebuilding years.
Also, I was finally able to make it to Alumni Field this weekend and caught all 3 games. Haylie Wagner is a great young pitcher, maybe the next in the Nemitz/Taylor mold of Michigan greats. What really stood out to me was the fact that she attacked every single batter, went up 0-1 or 0-2 in almost every pitch count, and kept the pressue on the hitters. Also, she had some absolutely nasty off-speed stuff. The program is in great hands for the years ahead!
a 1 seed aren't we? More of a question than a observation just to be clear.
NDSU wins the Summit.
Illinois State wins the MVC.
Miami wins the MAC.
Valparasio wins the Horizon.
Louisville won the BE.
Winning softball championships never gets old!
Nice job, ladies! Coach Hutchins has quite they staying power; on par with Coach Berenson and hockey. Go Blue!
