Michigan eliminated from the NCAA Regionals

Yesterday, Michigan was defeated by Kentucky 12-6 in front of their home crowd at Ray Fisher stadium.  This eliminated the Wolverines from the NCAA Regionals.  Kentucky went on to face Arizona later in the day, creating a Wildcats vs Wildcats final in the Regional final. 

Arizona beat Kentucky 5-3 and will advance to the super regional. 

You can read my daily updates I did on the Ann Arbor Regional on Brian Foley’s fine website, The College Baseball Blog.

As an Illini fan, rooting for Michigan is always a tricky thing.  But let’s face it, they were representin’ the Big Ten and for that reason alone, I was hoping they would make it.

Tough luck, Blue.

Congrats though, to Zach Putnam, Jason Christian, Adam Abraham and Ryan LaMarre for being selected to the All-Region Tournament team. 

Putnam doubly so.  He was selected as a designated hitter AND pitcher.
