ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan baseball team dropped the final regular season game of the season, taking an 8-1 loss to Ohio State on Saturday afternoon (May 16) at the Wilpon Complex, home of Ray Fisher Stadium.

Ohio State (29-23, 18-12 Big Ten) opened the scoring in the first inning, plating four runs on two hits off starter Michael Quedens (3-1). David Lally Jr. took the mound in the second and struck out six batters over five innings and allowed just one run over those frames.

Michigan (32-22, 17-13 Big Ten) got on the board in the fourth inning with a solo home run from Brayden Jefferis for his second home run of the weekend and fourth of the season to make the score 4-1. Noah Miller followed with a double but was left stranded.

OSU extended its lead, scoring a run in the seventh and three in the ninth to take an 8-1 lead. U-M did not have a baserunner after the fourth inning to fall in the contest.

The Wolverines will next head to the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 7 seed and will face No. 10 seed Rutgers at 5 p.m. CT on Tuesday (May 19) at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb. The game will be broadcast live on Big Ten Nework.
