Cards Saturday starter (Jake Bean) is intriguing … had 8 strikeouts in just over 4 innings today. Transfer from Kent State. Good stuff, just needs to be a little more consistent.

Michigan leads 5-4 in the 6th, but the Cards did just score 3 in the top of the 6th to get back in it.

Michigan gets 3 in the 7th to clinch the 8-5 win. Disappointing pitching performance by Brandon Shannon in relief - gave up 3 runs in 1 1/3rd innings. Jake Bean also got in trouble in the 4th and Casen Murphy gave up a couple of RBI hits in relief and 2 runs that were charged to Bean.

These early games are a lot of experimentation as to who is ready to help you win. And games against good teams like Michigan give you some great data.
