U-M’s NCAA tournament run under third-year coach Bonnie Stoll came to an end with a disastrous fourth and fifth innings in which Hoehn gave up a combined seven runs in the rematch with UCF, falling 10-8 at McCombs Field in Austin, Texas, in the Austin regional. That followed a 16-4 loss to Texas in which U-M was run-ruled by the overall 6-seed.

Michigan threatened again when Michigan's top two offensive weapons, Conway and Putz, worked their way aboard via single and walk. Vega, charged with all three runs allowed in the sixth inning Friday, induced a pair of infield popups and a harmless flyout to center to escape with the lead.
