Michigan Baseball traveled to Evanston this weekend expecting to play a two-game series against Northwestern followed by two games against Illinois. However, due to COVID-19 complications within the Northwestern program, the weekend was changed on Friday morning to a four-game set between the Wolverines and the Illini. The teams played doubleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday.
Michigan came into this series off their first series loss of the year last week against Rutgers and dropping out of both D1Baseball and Baseball America’s Top 25 lists. Meanwhile, Illinois came into the weekend looking for their second straight series win and trying to get back into the conversation for an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament.
