michigan QuicK hits
• The Wolverines are coming off their second
straight Big Ten series loss, dropping two of
three games at home to Illinois.
• Michigan’s game Tuesday with Toledo was
canceled due to rain. No reschedule date has
been set.
• Michigan (19-13, 4-5 Big Ten) remained in a tie
for sixth place in the conference race despite
losing to Illinois (21-8, 6-3 Big Ten), 11-5, in the
series finale on Sunday (April 12).
• Sophomore CF ryan Lamarre, who leads the
Wolverines with a .385 (45-for-117) average in
overall action continued his excellent series
against Illinois on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with
a hit-by-pitch. LaMarre was 4-for-6 with four
walks, two sac flies, five runs scored and three
RBI against the Fighting Illini, and he reached
base 10 times in the series. LaMarre extends
his current team-leading hitting streak to seven
games and added his team-leading 15th multihit game.
WEDNESDAY PLAYERS TO WATCH
Sophomore centerfielder Ryan LaMarre (left) comes off a 4-for-6 series
with five runs scored and three RBIs in the weekend series with Illinois.
Meanwhile, the Michigan pitching staff (right) will be a key to the
Wednesday doubleheader with EMU. Michigan must get good pitching
from a slew of arms to have success Wednesday and be in a good position
for the weekend series with Michigan State.

Big Ten games last season.

m a i z e & B L u e g a m e d ay
-- TRACKING THE PLAYERS -DUFEK STAYS HOT VS. ILLINI
Junior 1B Mike Dufek was 2-for-4 with a double,
a homer and all four RBI on Sunday (April 12) vs.
Illinois. In fact, he accounted for all five Wolverine
runs as the fifth scored on a Dufek double-play
grounder that does not count as an official RBI.
Dufek gave U-M a 2-0 lead in the first inning with
a two-run double and tied the game at 5-5 in the
fifth inning with his two-run homer. Dufek, who
is fourth on the team in hitting at .331 (42-for127), leads the Wolverines in both doubles (16)
and home runs (10) and ranks second with 35 RBI.
Dufek, who owns a six-game hitting streak, has
hits in 22 of his last 23 games.
CISLO ADDS THREE-HOLE TO RESUME
Senior tri-captain 2B Kevin Cislo also made a move
in Tuesday’s lineup as he batted in the third slot and
was 1-for-4 with a double and scored the second
Wolverine run vs. CMU. Cislo’s debut at third in the
lineup marks the seventh different position he
has hit in the lineup in his four-year career as he
has now batted first, second, third, sixth, seventh,
eighth and ninth in his 148 career starts.
HIT STREKS SNAPPED
Junior 1B/RHP Mike Dufek and sophomore SS
Anthony Toth saw their career-best hitting streaks
of 16 and 11 games respectively snapped over the
weekend Dufek’s 16-game hitting streak stands as
the longest for U-M since Zach Putnam (2006-08)
had a 16-gamer in 2008.
LAMARRE RETURNS TO EARLY SEASON FORM
Sophomore CF Ryan LaMarre gave Michigan a 2-1
lead in Sunday’s game vs. Penn State when he hit
a two-run homer in the first inning. LaMarre, who
leads the team with a .370 (40-for-108) batting
average, hit .583 (7-for-12) in the weekend series
with two doubles, three homers and nine RBI.
LaMarre, who has a team-leading total of 40 RBI in
overall action, is hitting .417 (10-for-24) in Big Ten
play to lead the Wolverines.
LAMARRE’S BLASTS COME IN PAIRS
Ryan LaMarre hit a pair of homers Saturday (April
4) vs. Penn State, his third multi-homer game of
the season. His previous two-homer games came
vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Feb. 27 and vs. Siena
on March 7.
LAMARRE/DUFEK HAVE PERSONAL HR DERBY
Mike Dufek leads Ryan LaMarre by one in the
U-M home run race, but the two have a knack for
dropping bombs in the same game. The duo have
homered in the same game six times so far this
season.
DUFEK CONTINUES TO HIT
Junior 1B Mike Dufek was 2-for-4 with a home
run in the loss to Penn State on Sunday. Dufek is
second on the team with 12 multi-hit games this
season and has hits in 18 of his last 19 games while
ranking second on the team with 30 RBI. Dufek,
who is hitting .330 (37-for-112) in overall action,
had three doubles, three homers and eight RBI in
the five games last week.
OAKS SIGHTING ON THE MOUND
Junior OF/RHP Alan Oaks worked four innings on
the mound after stating the game in rightfield.
Oaks, who had pitched four innings in his career
prior to Sunday’s action, took the loss, allowing
an unearned run in the seventh inning to snap
the 5-5 tie, and he faced four batters in the eighth
inning and they all scored. He allowed nine hits for
the five runs, four earned, and he recorded two
strikeouts.
FINALLY A “CRANKED” NOTE
Since his arrival on campus, Michigan fans have
waited to utter the phrase “Coley Cranked It”
and on Sunday (April 5) they got the chance as
Freshman catcher Coley Crank launched his first
career homer in the fourth inning. Crank, who
has made 11 starts (eight catching, three as DH),
is hitting .289 (11-for-38) with four extra base hits
(three doubles, one home run).
TOTH IS A TOUGH OUT
Junior/sophomore SS Anthony Toth was 1-for-3
with a single to finish .353 (6-for-17) in the five
games last week. Toth, who has hits in 17 of his
last 18 games, is hitting .323 (31-for-96) for the
season.
CAPTAIN KAL POSTS FISHER FIRST
Senior tri-captain Tim Kalczynski launched his first
career homer at Ray Fisher Stadium in the Wilpon
Baseball Complex in U-M’s game-winning, five-run
rally in Saturday’s second game against Penn State.
The homer is Kalczynski’s second career homer.
LOOK WHAT THE KAT DRAGGED IN
Junior LHP Eric Katzman collected his team-leading
fifth win of the season, working 7.1 innings as the
starting pitcher for the Wolverines in the second
game vs. Penn State. Katzman (5-2) allowed
seven hits, five runs (two earned) and recorded
five strikeouts. Katzman had two wins last week
alone and has a 2.68 ERA with 37 strikeouts in
40.1 innings this season. Katzman earned his 10th
career win (10-5) as a Wolverine with 90 career
strikeouts.
FETTER MATCHES K MARK
Senior RHP Chris Fetter pitched eight innings,
allowing seven hits and four runs (three earned)
as he matched his career best with 11 strikeouts
in a no-decision in Saturday’s (April 4) eventual 6-4
loss in 10 innings to Penn State. Fetter (4-1) leads
the Wolverines with a 2.61 ERA and he has a teamleading total of 51 strikeouts in 48.1 innings.
FETTER STILL CLIMBING THE K LADDER
Fetter pushed his career strikeout total to 229 on
Saturday (April 4) vs. Penn State as he pulled into a
tie for fifth place on U-M’s career list with LHP Rich
Hill (229 Ks, 2000-02). Next up on the U-M list is Jim
Brauer (237 Ks, 2001-05) in fourth place
DUFEK DOUBLES UP THREE TIMES
Junior 1B/RHP Mike Dufek was 3-for-5 for his 11th
multi-hit game of the season Wednesday (April 1)
vs. Oakland and his three doubles tied Michigan’s
single-game record. Many Wolverines have had
three doubles in a game with the last one coming
from Mike Schmidt at Ohio University (March 20,
2005). In an ‘April Fools’ special note, the last time
a Wolverine had three doubles in a game at Fisher
Stadium was Scott Weaver vs. Illinois on April 1,
1995.
CISLO SETTING THE TABLE
Senior tri-captain 2B Kevin Cislo went 3-for-3 with
his 10th double, a walk and three runs scored in
Saturday’s (April 4) opener vs. Penn State and he
added a single and a walk in the second game
as he scored the tying run at 5-5 in the seventh
inning of the 9-5 win. Cislo, who leads the team
with 35 runs scored and 20 walks, is hitting .351
(34-for-97). Cislo is hitting .444 (8-for-18) in Big Ten
action.

PLAYER HIT TWO HOME RUNS IN A INNING
Junior Mike Dufek continues a family tradition with
Michigan. Mike is the fourth Dufek to play at the varsity
level for the Wolverines. His grandfather is Don Dufek,
Sr. (1948-50), who was MVP of the Rose Bowl for U-M
football in 1949, and his two uncles are Don Dufek,
Jr. (1973-75), an All-American football player who also
played hockey for the Wolverines, and Bill Dufek (197478), an offensive lineman for the Wolverines. Each
of the three earned first team All-Big Ten honors in
football. His uncles (Don - Seattle, Bill - New York Jets)
also both played in the NFL. Mike’s father, Joe, was an
All-American in both football and baseball at Yale and
was a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL.
Brotherly Love
Sophomore C Jake McLouth joins the Wolverines for
his first season on the team. Jake’s older brother Nate
was a 2008 MLB All-Star and Gold Glove Winner for
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nate was drafted by the Pirates
in the 25th round of the 2000 MLB Draft and was
scheduled to be a Michigan Wolverine before signing
with the Pirates on August 29, 2000. Both Nate and
Jake are from Whitehall, Mich., the same hometown as
teammate Nick Urban.

Senior RHP Chris Fetter pitched his second nineinning complete game of the season on Friday (April
10) as he struck out a career-high 13 batters in the
4-2 win over Illinois. Fetter earned his fifth (5-1) win
of the season, allowing six hits and two runs in the

WOLVERINES DROP BOMBS
Michigan used a season-high five home runs in
the second game Saturday (April 4) to give the
Wolverines (18-9, 3-2 Big Ten) a 9-5 win and a split
in the Big Ten doubleheader vs. Penn State. The
visiting Nittany Lions (16-13, 2-3 Big Ten) took the
opener 6-4 in 10 innings. U-M is 1-1 in extra innings
in 2009.
WOLVERINES SCORE IN BUNCHES
Michigan’s nine-run fifth-inning outburst marks
the third time this season that the Wolverines
have scored eight runs or more in an inning.
U-M posted eight runs in the sixth inning vs.
Jacksonville in a 21-3 win (2/28/09) and an eightrun third inning in an 11-3 win at EMU (3/17/09).
The nine runs in an inning vs. Oakland marks the
most runs in an inning for the Wolverines since
a nine-run fourth inning at Northwestern (March
31, 2007).
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Michigan collected nine doubles in Wednesday’s
14-13 win over Oakland. It marks the most
doubles in a game for the Wolverines since U-M
had 10 doubles in a 17-3 win at Indiana on May
10, 1982.
BIG TEN OPENERS A SINCH
Michigan’s 4-3 win Friday (March 27) over Iowa
marked the fourth straight Big Ten opening win
for Wolverine head coach Rich Maloney. U-M
has earned wins over Iowa (2008 and 2009) and
Northwestern (2006 and 2007). Maloney is also
4-0 in Big Ten road openers since 2006, with wins
at Minnesota (2006), Northwestern (2007), Penn
State (2008) and Iowa (2009). Maloney is 5-2 in his
seven Big Ten openers and 4-3 in his Big Ten road
openers.
LATE INNINGS ARE THE KEY
If you want to predict Michigan victories, pay
attention to innings six through eight. U-M is
perfect when leading after each of those frames
this year. Conversely, Michigan has won just twice
when trailing after the sixth or seventh and have
yet to win when trailing after the eight.
TOP-25 FINISH BECOMING HABITUAL
Michigan looks to make it three years in a row with
a top-25 finish after ending 2008 at No. 22 in the
Baseball America poll, and No. 20 and No. 22 in the
Collegiate Baseball and the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’
Poll, respectively.
Pre-Season At-Large
CB INSIDER TABS WOLVERINES
CollegeBaseballInsider.com has picked Michigan as its
“Team to Beat” in its look at the Big Ten Conference.
The web site polled conference coaches who tabbed
staff ace Chris Fetter as a “pitcher you don’t want to
face” and “top three starting pitcher” for the 2009
campaign.
Baseball America released its NCAA Tournament
prediction of the field of 64 prior to the start of the
2009 season. If the prediction holds true, Michigan
will fall behind Indiana for the Big Ten’s automaticqualifying spot and are predicted as an at-large bid
to make the tournament as a regional four seed.
LARKIN, RICKEY HEADED TO HALL OF FAME
The College Baseball Foundation announced Tuesday
(March 24) the names of the 10 players and coaches
comprising the 2009 National College Baseball Hall
of Fame Induction Class, which includes a pair of
former Wolverines in shortstop Barry Larkin (198385) and coach Branch Rickey (1910-13). Larkin
and Rickey become the second and third former
Wolverines to earn induction, joining pitcher Jim
Abbott (1986-88), who was part of the second-ever
class enshrined.
Abbott’s Number to be Retired
Former U-M All-American Jim Abbott will have his
jersey No. 31 retired by the Wolverines on April 18
during a pre-game ceremony prior to the start of
the Michigan State game. Abbott, who pitched for
Michigan from 1986-88, led the Wolverines to Big
Ten titles his freshman and junior seasons. Abbott’s
uniform will be just the fifth retired in school
baseball history. He will join Don Lund (1943-45),
Moby Benedict (1954-56), Bill Freehan (1961) - who
all played and coached at Michigan - and Ray Fisher,
who coached the Wolverines from 1921-58.
