Bowling Green, Ohio - BG (11-5) gave up three runs in the 9th inning to Michigan (9-8) to lose the first non-conference home game of 2001 at Steller Field. Bowling Green scored one run in each of the first two innings. Senior CF Aric Christman led off with his first triple of the season, and was batted in by senior RF Lee Morrison on a SAC Fly. In the second inning, sophomore 2B Corey Loomis slammed his second home run of the season, a solo shot.
Michigan scored their first run in the third inning, when Scott Tousa scored after Jordan French was walked with the bases loaded. Michigan would go on to score three more as they were helped by home runs from CJ Ghannam and Gino Lollio in the 6th and 7th innings respectively.
Bowling Green added two more runs in the eighth inning as senior 3B Scott Dukate smacked his third home run of the year over the center-field fence, knocking in Morrison. However, two more home runs for Michigan in the 9th (by Brock Koman and Nate Wright) would seal the victory for the Wolverines, as Bowling Green was unable to score in the bottom of the ninth. Michigan reliever Jim Brauer (2IP, 2SO, 1ER)was awarded the victory, the first of his collegiate career as junior RH reliever Brad Henry (3IP, 1SO, 4ER) accounts for the loss and falls to 2-1.
The Falcons head to Wright State tommorow afternoon to play another 9-inning non conference game at 3:00pm.
