There is definitely something special about playing for a national championship and Wednesday night, in Omaha, the Michigan baseball team will do just that.
The Wolverines will actually be gunning for the championship for the second straight night. Only this time, they are also facing elimination. After winning game one, Michigan baseball put Vanderbilt in the position of needing two wins for the national title.
But with Kumar Rocker on the mound for the Commodores Tuesday, it wasn’t going to happen. Michigan head coach Erik Bakich went with a collection of bullpen arms and saved Karl Kauffmann as well as Jeff Criswell for tonight, the deciding game of the College World Series.
