Ann Arbor — It took Michigan softball coach Carol Hutchins an hour and a half to make her way through the well-wishers and autograph-seekers and head home on Sunday after the Wolverines staged a remarkable comeback in the top of the seventh to win the Super Regional and advance to the Women’s College World Series.
This is Michigan’s 12th World Series appearance and second consecutive. The Wolverines, ranked second, were the national champion runners-up last season and head to Oklahoma City to face LSU on Thursday night in the first round.
“Somebody who watched me yesterday on TV said you looked as excited like it was the first time you were ever going,” Hutchins said Monday.
