WHAT TO WATCH
- It’s Notre Dame vs. Michigan. What more needs to be said?
- Freshman Jack Findlay will get his first start since game two of the Florida State series. Findlay made it 1.2 innings as he struggled to find the strike zone. He finished giving up two hits, one run, one walk and one strikeout on 34 pitches.
Findlay did rebound last week against Butler as he went 3.0 innings with two walks and three strikeouts on 44 pitches.
- What will Link Jarrett do with the DH spot on Tuesday? Nick Juaire and Jack Zyska have been starting over the last few series, but Jarrett did start DM Jefferson on Sunday. Michigan will throw a lefty, so Jefferson is likely out as Juaire is a switch hitter and Zyska is a righty.
- The Wolverines are coming off a weekend sweep for Cal State Fullerton (10-20). Michigan has a win over No. 9 Louisville this year.
