After ‘speed bumps,’ UM closer Lamb finally thriving

Ann Arbor — It would be safe to say Jackson Lamb has endured more than his share of adversity during his baseball career at Michigan.

And that is why Lamb is enjoying this season so much as a dominating closer for the Wolverines.

Michigan coach Erik Bakich hopes he will be able to put Lamb in closing situations when the No. 21 Wolverines host No. 14 Oklahoma in a three-game series, which gets underway Thursday at Ray Fisher Stadium.

So, what type of problems has Lamb had to overcome? He suffered a back injury his freshman year, Tommy John surgery as a sophomore and broken ribs last season.
