Florida 3, Michigan 2: The Frozen Sierra

Sierra Romero is Michigan's biggest star, but, in the biggest moment, she froze up.

Figuratively and literally.

Michigan had trailed Florida for the entire game, but, in the top of the seventh with the Gators clinging onto a 3-2 lead in Game 1 of the WCWS Championship Series, Michigan was on the verge of stealing it. With no outs, the Wolverines had runners on the corners with Romero standing on third base -- representing the tying run just 60 feet away from home plate. Kelsey Susalla hit a hard groundball to Florida shortstop Kathlyn Medina, who had to lunge to her left to field it.
