Softball Blows 4-run Lead, Falls to IU

Submitted by South Bend Wolverine on

No sugar-coating it - this loss sucks.  After building a 4-0 lead, Michigan let it all slip away, giving up the tying run with 2 outs in the 7th, and then ceding a walk-off homer in extras.  Tomorrow's rubber game is a must-win if Michigan wants any chance at the regular season title.  All margin for error has been drained out of the championship chase.

I only had GameTracker for this one, so I couldn't see how it played out.  Even with the umps, though, we had every chance to win this thing.  Not scoring any runs when we loaded 'em up in the 6th, then giving up the tying run with 2 outs, then the top six batters going down in order in extra innings...  Ugh, incredibly frustrating game.  Just hope they can put it behind them & take the series tomorrow.

It does seem like Beaubien's kryptonite is Hoosier. Hutch went with her again today and the result was a season-high in runs allowed, plus her first home run allowed since early March. Lots of streaks broken today - most importantly her own streak of 24 consecutive starts earning the W. What they're playing for right now is the opportunity to avoid a top seed in a regional. Winning the regular season and even the conference tournament probably won't be enough to host one. Hopefully, they can come back tomorrow and take the third game. They wasted so many opportunities on offense today - they can hit these pitchers.
