Omaha, Neb. — Michigan, wearing its 1962 throwback uniforms to commemorate the last team to win a baseball national championship for the program, is now win away from making history of its own.
The Wolverines, one of the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament, has had an improbable, surprising run and came a step closer with a 7-4 win over Vanderbilt, the No. 2 team in the country, before 24,707 at TD Ameritrade Park in the first game of the best-of-three championship series. The teams will play again Tuesday night.
