Tough game... M faced MSU's ace and really could not do much against him. In fact M scored it's two runs on two balks. It seemed like M either struck out or hit the first pitch to an MSU player.
M had two doubles and that was basically their offense. They could touch MSU reliever when he can into the game in the 8th.
Chase Allen started for Michigan and while inconsistent at times, managed to get MSU batters to routinely hit ground balls to SS, or so it seemed. MSU scored runs with 2 outs and nobody on. First but three consecutive hits in one inning and then via a home run. The winning run was scored in the bottom of the 9th on a sacrifice fly deep to right.
Neither team put on much of an offensive display. Still two more games and a chance to win the series this weekend.
