Recap of the Michigan Indiana game. Indiana record falls to 41-18 . Pretty sure they will get a at large bid. But who knows Rutgers was totally hosed last season.

Umpire is already calling strikes that should be balls. 2nd batter should have walked?Wtf is wrong with this umpire ? That first pitch to the #4 hitter was so far off the plate it wasn?t funny.

Top first .
Michigan gets a 2 out single and stolen base and nothing else. Hitters having trouble hold up on terrible pitches out side the zone.
I?ll probably head out to walk the dog and do yard work. Coming through the elimination bracket Michigan pretty thin at pitching.
Using Brandon Mann who hasn?t started many games. He also plays football. He plays qb.
He went to Detroit Country Day.

That is what our leadoff hitter should have done. Taken the 3-2 pitch.
Leadoff walk. And Mann can?t find the plate.
1 out . Stupid base running .
Delayed steal helps helps Michigan out and this piece of shit umpire misses a strike on the 3-0 pitch .
Wow that pitch caught so much if the plate it isn?t funny.
Mann strikes out the #3 hitter.
Man settles down and gets a fly out to cf .
0-0 top 2nd.

Oh, next season.
