Michigan Pitcher Ejected for Illegal Substance During Big Ten Tournament

During the Big Ten tournament Sunday, a Michigan player was ejected for using an foreign substance.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Willie Weiss was on the mound for the Wolverines when there was a stoppage of play. Iowa coach Rick Heller got the umpire’s attention and the officials took a look at Weiss’s glove.

After congregating for just a couple of seconds, the senior was tossed from the game. But it didn’t bother Michigan one bit on the field. The Wolverines went on to dominate Iowa 13–1 in seven innings. After the game, Heller explained what he saw from the dugout.
