OKLAHOMA CITY – Michigan’s softball team scored one run on two hits in the bottom of the first inning, which proved to be the difference in Game 2 of the Women’s College World Series Championship Series, as the Wolverines downed the University of Florida, 1-0, on Tuesday night in front of 8,254 people at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.
In was a classic pitcher’s duel that saw UM’s Haylie Wagner (25-2) come out the victor. The senior threw seven scoreless innings, struck out five Florida hitters and walked none.
Her counterpart, UF senior Lauren Haeger (31-2), kept the Gators in the contest the whole way, as she threw six strong innings but the first inning run couldn’t be overcome by the UF offense.
