A 10:54 p.m. start was nothing for the Michigan Wolverines, as they faced off against the Illinois Fighting Illini in the Big Ten Tournament last night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The five-seeded Wolverines took down the four-seeded Illini, 7-5.
Before the Illini had recorded an out in the top of the first, it was already 2-0. The Wolverines started the game off with a bang — back-to-back home runs off the bats of All-Big Ten honorees Clark Elliott and Joe Stewart started the party for Michigan.
Illinois centerfielder Taylor Jackson cut the lead in half with an RBI single to left field in the second.
