The Wolverines were holding onto a 3-1 lead that had just been cut into by an RBI single by infielder Shawn Goosenberg. With two outs catcher Michael Trautwein ripped a grounder which passed a diving senior infielder Jimmy Kerr, but senior infielder Ako Thomas had him covered. Thomas’ dive was successful as he fielded the ball and tossed it to first for the out. Thomas effectively ended Northwestern’s comeback bid as the Michigan baseball team (26-11 overall, 6-3 Big Ten) won 4-1 over the Wildcats (16-18, 5-5) on Saturday afternoon.

For the Michigan men's lacrosse team (3-8 overall, 0-3 Big Ten), the moment was the lone bright spot on an afternoon where offense was hard to come by. Penn State (10-1, 3-0) would score seven unanswered goals after Curran's goal en route to a 17-7 throttling of the Wolverines.

Last season, Jordan Brewer was playing against the likes of Dyersburg State and Wabash Valley College. The junior outfielder transferred from Lincoln Trail College, a community college of 1,031 people based in rural Robinson, Ill. — to Michigan last year. The expectations on paper would usually be low for a player making the jump from JUCO to a major Division I program, but coach Erik Bakich had other ideas in the preseason.

Erik Bakich has said in the past he believes his staff is leading the way on analytics. The defensive shift has taken over baseball, and Michigan is no stranger to using any advantage it can to make the difference.

With the match on the line, all eyes turned to Andrew Fenty. The freshman needed a third set win to clinch the match for the Michigan men's tennis team (12-5 overall, 3-2 Big Ten).
Fenty prevailed, earning the Wolverines a 4-3 victory over Purdue (7-9, 1-4) in West Lafayette on Saturday, which they followed with a 5-2 triumph over Indiana (9-8, 3-2) on Sunday, wins Michigan desperately needed following a pair of tough losses to Penn State and Ohio State.

Last season, the No. 24 Michigan baseball team (17-7 overall) dominated its season series against Michigan State — outscoring the Spartans 36-6 in a four-game sweep. This year looks like it might be more of the same; the Wolverines had an outstanding start to the season in non-conference. Michigan State on the other hand, has struggled.

In the series against the Red Raiders, the Wolverines totaled eight errors compared to Texas Tech’s three. It proved to be the difference in a fruitless weekend for Michigan.
“We were right there playing pitch-to-pitch in all three games for about half the game,” Bakich said. “And then they just separated because of one play, one swing whatever it may be."
