Another day in Omaha means another fight to survive for the Michigan Wolverines baseball team. On Friday, they faced a team expected to be a formidable foe in the two-seeded Indiana Hoosiers.
The 13-6 final score certainly wouldn’t be unexpected — if it hadn’t been in favor of the Wolverines.
With their backs against the wall both in the bracket and in the bullpen, head coach Tracy Smith had no choice but to turn Mitch Voit from his usual third baseman/reliever role to a full blown starter. To his credit, Voit didn’t shy away from the spotlight — putting his teammates in a tremendous position by giving up just two hits in his first four innings and fanning three Hoosiers.
