• Complete Game Notes

The No. 19-ranked University of Michigan softball team (18-6) will remain in the Midwest for its preseason-tournament finale when it heads to Oxford, Ohio, this weekend for a four-game appearance at the Miami University Tournament. On Saturday (March 17), the Wolverines will play Dayton at 11 a.m. and host Miami at 4 p.m., before U-M wraps up with two games on Sunday (March 18) -- a 10 a.m. slate against Robert Morris and 12:30 p.m. game against Fort Wayne. All games will be played at the Redhawks' Miami Softball Stadium.

• The Wolverines has some history with this weekend's tournament host, Miami. U-M carries an 11-1 advantage in the all-time series against the RedHawks and have won each of the last four games dating back to 2008. Two of the last three meetings -- in 2009 and 2016 -- have come in NCAA Regional play in Ann Arbor. Michigan won the most recent meeting, 6-0.

• Michigan has won each of its last 12 games -- just two wins shy of its longest win streak of the 2017 season. U-M has outscored its opposition, 69-16, and has batted .348 while posting a 1.40 team earned-run average during that stretch.

• Freshman left-handed pitcher Meghan Beaubien earned a share of the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week accolade -- her third in five weeks this season -- after posting a 3-0 record over the Wolverines' perfect FAU Tournament appearance, with a 0.93 ERA, 25 strikeouts and a .122 opposing average over 15 innings pitched. She boasted a career-best 16 strikeouts against Ball State and tossed three perfect innings to earn a win in relief against Pittsburgh.

• Beaubien's 16-strikeout effort was just the second double-digit strikeout game of her collegiate career. It was the most by a Wolverine pitcher since Megan Betsa tossed 18 strikeouts in an 11-inning loss at Wisconsin last season. Michigan's single-game record is 19, registered by Jennie Ritter against Oklahoma on May 21, 2006.

• Michigan's offense continued to click at the FAU Tournament. After the Wolverines batted just .243 over the first 13 games of the season, they hit .324 over the five-game Judi Garman, then improved to .370 over five games in Boca Raton. U-M registered a .548 slugging percentage and .414 on-base percentage. Five Wolverines hit .389 or better at FAU.

• Sophomore infielder Madison Uden led the Wolverines with a .563 batting average over the FAU Tournament, going 9-for-16 with four runs scored and three runs batted in. She drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh to push across the walk-off run. She went 4-for-4 -- her first collegiate four-hit game -- with two RBI in the tournament finale vs. Florida A&M.

• Sophomore outfielder Haley Hoogenraad recorded both her first collegiate triple and first collegiate home run against Pittsburgh at the FAU Tournament and scored on both to record a career-high two runs. Hoogenraad hit .400 (6-for-15) with three runs scored and two RBI in Boca Raton, Florida.
