East Lansing – Michigan coach Carol Hutchins likes the way her team has played the last several weeks and said she believes the Wolverines can do some damage in the postseason.
They certainly made some noise in their first Big Ten Tournament appearance, walloping Maryland, 7-0 Thursday night in a quarterfinal game at Secchia Stadium on the Michigan State campus. A five-run third inning featuring a two-run home run by Taylor Bump and two triples gave the Wolverines an insurmountable lead. Michigan had six hits.
Starting pitcher Alex Storako pitched five innings, had sixth strikeouts and held Maryland to three hits, two of which came in the first inning.
