The No. 5-ranked Tigers (46-15) had 19 hits yesterday vs. the Beavers, including four home runs, to win 13-7 and advance to their 16th Super Regional.

“Great team, great program. I know their head coach well. We’re good friends. He’s one of the premier coaches in the country.
“I think anytime that you can go somewhere that you’ve already been, that definitely helps. And I told them, I don’t know how to prepare you to have 13,000 people go against you. But we’ve been there. They have great fans. They’re great people. And it will definitely be a different environment now. It’s a really good one, but it will go up another level. But the fact that our guys have experienced that definitely helps.”
