ANN ARBOR, Mich. – All the scoring came in the fourth inning on Tuesday as 24th-ranked Michigan downed Central Michigan, 5-1, in a nonconference softball game at the Wolverines' Alumni Field.
The Chippewas (16-17) return to Mid-American Conference play with a three-game series at Ohio beginning on Friday.
Kelsey Alexander gave CMU a 1-0 lead with her fifth home run of the season in the top of the fourth.
The Wolverines responded in the bottom half, getting their first run on a bases-loaded walk and then Melina Livingston hit a grand slam to complete the scoring.
Kaitlyn Bean (4-8) went 3 1/3 innings in taking the loss. She allowed four runs on four hits, walked four, and struck out two. Grace Lehto went the final 2 2/3 frames. She surrendered one run on four hits, walked one, and struck out one.
The Chippewas collected five hits including a double by Shannon Stein. CMU stranded seven base runners, including three in the first inning.
