This weekend, the challenge was in getting to Penn State's star freshman Bridget Nemeth, who entered the weekend 21st in the country in ERA (1.43) and second in the conference to Northwestern's Ashley Miller. With a record of 21-3, would she prove to be Michigan's nemethis? (I deserve some down-votes for that one).Derkowski has had an up-and-down season. No end of responsibility - she is the team's number-one pitcher and without her, the pitching staff wouldn't hold up at all. She has been great the last two weeks. This was her finest weekend as a Wolverine.
