Notes
• The Wolverines sit sixth in the Big Ten Conference, having won their last five conference series, including a sweep of Northwestern and taking two of three from Washington. U-M earned walk-off wins on Friday (April 24) and Saturday (April 25) before falling 7-5 in the series finale.
• Colby Turner extended his hitting streak to 24 games with a single in the third inning on Sunday, the longest at Michigan since at least 2000. The streak ranks fourth among active Division I players and first in the Big Ten. Turner has also reached base in 30 straight games, third-longest at Michigan since 2000, with the record at 32.
• Turner owns a .399/.470/.659 slash line, with all three marks ranking among the top 10 in the Big Ten, including second in batting average. He ranks third in the conference in hits (69) and hits per game (1.60) and leads Michigan in runs (46), doubles (15), home runs (10) and RBIs (40).
• Kurt Barr has served as Michigan's Friday starter since the second weekend of conference play and holds a team-best 3.39 ERA. The senior threw a complete game with 10 strikeouts against Michigan State and has 73 strikeouts this season, moving into the top 10 in program history with 224 career strikeouts.
