'We just didn't hit': Michigan drops NCAA Tournament opener in 6-1 loss to UConn

Michigan was one of the final four in the 64-team NCAA baseball tournament, and now the Wolverines are up against it in the double-elimination Regional.

The Wolverines lost 6-1 to UConn in their first NCAA Tournament game on Friday night in South Bend, Ind., and need to win Saturday to stay in the tournament. They mustered two hits and stranded nine runners -- they had six walks and three batters were hit by pitches -- against the Huskies. UConn has won 30 of its last 37 games, while Michigan has lost four of its last five.

"We just didn’t hit," Michigan coach Erik Bakich said.
