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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
