Zach Slayden enters portal after Michigan’s season ends

Slayden was the latest domino to fall in the transfer portal following a baseball season. Michigan’s ended in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals in a loss to Penn State.

They fell 7-6 to Penn State in 10 innings in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals on Saturday (May 25) at Charles Schwab Field.

Tied at five after nine innings, the game went into the 10th and the Nittany Lions capitalized immediately. A leadoff single was followed by a two-run home run to put PSU ahead 7-5. Mitch Voit hit a two-out homer in the bottom of the inning, but U-M was unable to come up with another run.
