Michigan softball’s advantage in the NCAA Regional was short-lived and now it comes to this – a deciding game against Washington, with the winner advancing to the Super Regionals.
The Wolverines entered Sunday night’s game against Washington, the Seattle Region host at Husky Softball Stadium, having won their first two games, including a win against Washington on Saturday in the double-elimination regional.
The Huskies, the No. 16 overall tournament seed, emerged from the elimination bracket, beating Seattle late Saturday, to play for a chance to face the Wolverines again.
Washington took the lead in the first inning on a solo home run off Meghan Beaubien and never looked back, getting their must-win, 2-0.
