NASHVILLE: Michigan adds more

By Chris Lee - June 01, 2007

Jason Christian singled to lead off Michigan's fifth, and Eric Rose sacrificed him to second, when Nate Recknagel hit a screaming liner into center.

Memphis's K.K. Chalmers tried to come in and snare the ball before it hit the ground, but wasn't fast enough to get there, and it got under his glove and rolled to the wall for an easy tripe for Recknagel.

Later, with two away, Doug Pickens blooped a ball over second to score Recknagel from third for a 5-2 Michigan lead.

The Wolverines' Zach Putnam has pitched fairly well against the powerful Memphis lineup, giving up just four hits so far.
