FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- The University of Michigan-Dearborn was back in action on Wednesday (Mar. 26) against the Indiana Tech Warriors at The Hawk. The Warriors came out victories in both games, as the Wolverines struggled to get their bats going. Tech would win game one 6-1 and would take game two 8-1.
