Softball Making Moves!
Up the polls, that is.
RT @umichsoftball: Michigan moves up to No. 9 in both the @USATODAY / @NFCAorg and @espn / @ASAUSASoftball national polls #top10 #goblue
I'll tell you what, this team is fun to watch! Glad to see them racing up the charts
I agree!
Why thank you :)

Wait..you're not MGoSoftball
Great season so far - if you're interested, be sure to tune in to BTN right now. We're playing game 1 of a double-header against Indiana. 1-0 Michigan, IU batting in the bottom of the 2nd.
the Top 8 seeds get to host the Super Regionals should they win the Regionals at home
Wagner and Driesenga are both pitching really well, which is the most important thing. Secondly, this team can hit pretty consistantly. If one of the pitchers peaks at the right time I think they could make a deep run.
We need videogame-caliber pitching!

Seriously though, we'll have to see what roles they settle into (seems like Driesenga had her innings cut back a good deal once Wagner could throw again) but they do seem like one of the better 1-2 punches in the country. Either one is capable of leading a deep run, we'll just have to see if one of them can put it together and actually do it.
Congrats to the women of UM
Wagner gets out of a bases-loaded jam. With only one out due to a questionable safe call at first base, IU's top hitter blooped out to the pitcher & then a long, battling at-bat turned into a strike-out for the Wolverines. Still 4-0, going into the top of the 6th.
Gotta win this game! Close it out Sara.
Ugly 6th inning, 4 runs for IU ties the game 4-4. Here we go, into the 7th...
Got to quit loading the bases for her. She hit the longest home run I have ever seen off my daughter. (It should not count on a field with no fences.)
Strike zone is absolutely laughable right now. IU is getting about an extra 5-6 inches off the edge of the plate.
Huge 1-2-3 inning from Driesenga. Gotta get the offense going, even though it's the lower part of our order coming up.
Rain delay in the top of the ninth. No one out and a runner on first for the Wolverines.
Edit: Getting really sick of these announcers. We all get it, you want IU to win.
Wolverines come out guns blazing in the 9th and plate 3 runs before setting down 3 straight IU batters after an initial walk was issued to Wagner. Wolverines win 7-4 in 9 innings. 20 minute break before coming back for game #2 of the doubleheader!
Also another update, Bakich Ball is running it right now in A2. 8-0 Michigan over notre dame currently!
