A losing streak extended to six games following a 4-1 loss to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Wednesday, Michigan Wolverines baseball head coach Tracy Smith made a surprisingly frank rebuke of his squad’s performance to gathered media — emphasizing a need for drastic change headed into the Wolverines’ upcoming appearance in the Mike Sansing Classic.
“I want you to get this right when you write about it, this is embarrassing,” Smith said. “Now, when I say ‘embarrassed,’ it’s not about Oakland. I have the utmost respect for (Oakland head coach Jordon Banfield) and his program. I’m embarrassed by the way we’re playing right now and that includes leading up to this game.
