Yesterday, Michigan was defeated by Kentucky 12-6 in front of their home crowd at Ray Fisher stadium. This eliminated the Wolverines from the NCAA Regionals. Kentucky went on to face Arizona later in the day, creating a Wildcats vs Wildcats final in the Regional final.
Arizona beat Kentucky 5-3 and will advance to the super regional.
You can read my daily updates I did on the Ann Arbor Regional on Brian Foley’s fine website, The College Baseball Blog.
As an Illini fan, rooting for Michigan is always a tricky thing. But let’s face it, they were representin’ the Big Ten and for that reason alone, I was hoping they would make it.
Tough luck, Blue.
Congrats though, to Zach Putnam, Jason Christian, Adam Abraham and Ryan LaMarre for being selected to the All-Region Tournament team.
Putnam doubly so. He was selected as a designated hitter AND pitcher.
