Game, Set, Match. Beavers Sweep Wolverines to win the Super Regional. On to Omaha!

Another stellar performance from a Beaver starter. We hit a little better, but they helped us a ton with walks and mental mistakes. Can you say 10(!) walks? Wow. Add a hit batter that started the rally. You can't spot a decent team that many base runners.

MVP of the series? That's a tough one.

If I were going to give it to a hitter, it would be Joey Wong because hit had the only hit Sunday to drive in the game winning run. Plus he drove in 2 runs on Monday with a walk and a suicide squeeze bunt.

Every pitcher was lights out, so I'd give a co-pitcher award to Mike Stutes and Jorge Reyes.

Overall, I'll give co-MVPs to Joey Wong and Jorge Reyes. Just because they had their heroics in the huge game 1 win and they were both freshman stepping up. Great for the future!

From Michigan I have to give a huge cap tip to Zach Putnam, the starter on Sunday, for no-hitting the Beavs through 8. Also, Eric Rose who had two jacks and erased the "a" from his first name.

Barry Larkin is one of the worst announcers ever! If you get a chance to watch the game again listen to him babble during the game...it's hilarious. They need to bring back Reynolds. Not sure whatever happened to him.

I also thought that the firetruck was clutch! The firemen sitting on top of the engine was great. Glad to see that you got a picture of it.
