Michigan sweeps Buckeyes, win Big Ten
The Lady Buckeyes were swept yesterday in a double-header at Michigan. The sweep clinched at least a tie for the regular season title for scUM. If they lose their last two and Ohio State wins, they will tie, but scUM holds the tie-breaker due to yesterday's wins.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Sam Marder tied the Ohio State softball team's all-time career home run record with a solo shot in the first game of a doubleheader sweep at the hands of eighth-ranked Michigan Wednesday at Alumni Field. The Buckeyes fell 6-3, 5-2, snapping a seven-game winning streak and dropping their record to 42-9 on the season, 14-4 in the Big Ten, while the Wolverines improve to 40-9 overall and 16-2 in the conference.
With the wins, Michigan clinches at least a share of the Big Ten title. If the Wolverines should lose both of their games this weekend and Ohio State picks up two more wins Saturday, the teams would share the honor, with Michigan holding the NCAA Tournament automatic bid advantage in the head-to-head tiebreaker.
