While Woodland's victory against Timberland wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Wolverines sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 12-11 win over the Wolves on Tuesday. The Wolverines' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Mac Milligan was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-5 with two runs and two RBI. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.
