Michigan baseball falls to Vanderbilt in game two of championship series

After taking game one of the best-of-three series against Vanderbilt, the Michigan baseball team stumbled in game two, falling 4-1 Tuesday night at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska.

The loss sets up a winner-take-all game three, which will be played at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Michigan is seeking its first national championship since 1962.

It was a different looking game for the Wolverines, who first the first time since the Super Regional did not pitch Tommy Henry, Karl Kauffmann or Jeff Criswell. Instead, it was redshirt freshman Isaiah Paige who started on the mound.

Paige did exactly what Michigan needed, pitching into the fifth inning and allowing only one unearned run, which came around after he left the game.
