LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Matt Frey hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to rally Michigan to an 8-6 victory over Oregon in the Louisville Regional on Friday.

Jimmy Obertop hit two home runs for Michigan. His two-run shot in the third gave the Wolverines a 3-0 lead and his two-run homer in the fifth made it 5-2.
Milone had three of Oregon’s 10 hits.
