Omaha, Neb. — So many times during this College Baseball World series run, Michigan baseball coach Erik Bakich has referenced that ultimate back-against-the-wall moment in the Big Ten Tournament that the team believes put them in the NCAA Tournament.

The Wolverines are one of the final two teams standing, and will face Vanderbilt on Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park for the national championship, which would be the program’s first since 1962. They’ve split the series, with Michigan winning the first game before the Commodores evened things up with a 4-1 victory Tuesday night.
