Today on In the Trenches, we go down memory lane on the baseball side of things.

0:07.8

We've got Jimmy Kerr, Carl Kaufman, Tommy Henry, and Jordan Brewer going down memory lane of what happened almost one year ago today when you're listening to this because it is supposed to be the time that we are

0:22.1

celebrating the college baseball world series. So we're going to take a look back at Michigan's

0:27.0

epic run in last year's college world series. We also have a message from Dr. Schlessel,

1:29.6

things, you know, bringing the student athletes back to the University of Michigan, everything
