SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The University of Michigan and Connecticut locked in a pitchers' duel through five innings of action Friday (June 4) in the evening game of the South Bend Regional, but the Huskies did damage late, scoring five runs in the sixth and seventh innings to catapult themselves to a 6-1 victory over the Wolverines at Frank Eck Stadium.
With the loss, U-M will take on Central Michigan on Saturday (June 5) in an elimination game beginning at noon.
Starter Steven Hajjar was strong through five innings of work, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out eight. In a 1-1 ballgame in the sixth, UConn made its move with timely hitting and perfect placement. The Huskies used four singles -- including a two-run, two-out infield hit -- to give itself a lead the Michigan offense could not overcome.
U-M's lone run came in the fourth inning as Ted Burton launched a line drive over the left-field wall for his team-leading seventh home run of the season.
Though able to reach base six times via walk, Michigan was unable to cash in with runners in scoring position, as its only other hit came from Riley Bertram, who knocked a two-out double to right-center in the third.
The bullpen duo of Isaiah Paige and Jack White combined to hold the Huskies scoreless over the final two innings.
Michigan last played Central Michigan in 2018, winning both midweek games against the Chippewas. Since then, CMU has won two Mid-American Conference titles and played in two NCAA Regionals.
