Cal To Host No. 10 Michigan on Wednesday
BERKELEY – California will look to right the ship when it hosts No. 10 (Baseball America) Michigan in a mid-week nonconference tilt at Evans Diamond on Wednesday night.
First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. (PT) as Cal (3-8) goes up against a nationally-ranked opponent for the fourth consecutive game. The Bears are coming off three straight losses to No. 21 TCU in Fort Worth last weekend. The game will be streamed live on CalBears.com.
MID-WEEK LINEUP
Michigan (6-4) is in the midst of a nine-game road swing through California and is coming off a series win at Cal Poly last weekend. The Wolverines face Stanford on Tuesday before making their way to Berkeley and will conclude their west coast trip with a three-game series at Pepperdine this weekend.
Cal is 6-6 all-time against Michigan, most recently clashing on Feb. 29, 2016 in Berkeley (5-0 loss). The Bears swept a season-opening series against Michigan in 2013 in Berkeley as well. The Wolverines are the 2019 College World Series runner-up and already boast wins over 2019 national champion and then-No. 2 Vanderbilt and then-No. 9 Arizona State, both coming on opening weekend.
