NASHVILLE: Here comes the rain, and also, the Wolverines

By Chris Lee - June 01, 2007

Michigan has men on first and second against Memphis reliever Doug Davis, and now Doug Pickens just lofted a long fly ball to where the wall juts out towards center and makes a large triangle as it juts back in and also shrinks from 35 feet in height down to about eight in left center.

Memphis left fielder Tyler Huesling backpedaled to the furthermost corner of the wall, and with his back against it, completely mis-judged it as it clanged off the base of the wall, then trickled back towards the left field line to score Adam Abraham and Nate Recknagel.

And now, the rain has stopped, but Michigan hasn't. Derek Van Buskirk lofted a fly ball to deep center than advanced Pickens up a base, and Kevin Cislo laid down a perfect bunt down the third base line that Kyle Norrid tried to bare-hand and overran, scoring another run. Then, Brad Roblin rolled a single between short and third for another run.

So suddenly, after Memphis had cut the lead to a run, a four-run inning makes it 9-4 Michigan through seven complete.
