Baseball wins Big Ten Tournament

Michigan's baseball team had a disappointing regular season that offered little encouragement it could make a run in the Big Ten Tournament. In order to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, the Wolverines had to win the whole thing, and they did just that.

In miraculous fashion, the blue team's bats exploded, scoring 52 runs in five games en route to a Big Ten Championship.
