Over the weekend Minnesota made a run to the Big Ten Tournament beating Illinois on Friday and Northwestern early on Saturday setting up a showdown with top-seeded Michigan.
The Gophers were hot, coming into the Big Ten Tourney as the 2nd seed and having won 11 straight games. Michigan is currently the #2 team in the country and was the regular season Big Ten champs. The title game was tight and went into extra innings tied 3-3.
In the bottom of the 10th inning with Minnesota's Sam Macken on first and Sydney Fabian on second, sophomore second baseman Danielle Parlich hit a ground ball toward short stop when a Michigan fielding error allowed Fabian to round the bases and score the game-winning run.
