Michigan fends off a late comeback attempt from Oregon in NCAA Regional opener

The Michigan Wolverines picked up a regional win in Louisville last night, as they took down the Oregon Ducks 8-6. The Wolverines had the lead for the majority of the game, but Oregon mounted a comeback late, which was thwarted by the Wolverines the very half inning after they tied the game.

The scoring started in the second when Michigan’s two-sport athlete, Joey Velasquez, grounded into a fielder’s choice to first base, scoring Tito Flores.

The lead was expanded by a Jimmy Obertop home run to right field in the third scoring Matt Frey.
