ANN ARBOR, Mich. - An early lead was too large for the Golden Grizzlies to come back from as it fell to the Wolverines, 13-5, at Ray Fisher Stadium.

Cleary started off the two-out rally as he drove in Rice but was left stranded as the Golden Grizzlies cut its deficit to three. The Wolverines tacked on five more in the eighth, including a grand slam, as Oakland had to battle back with three outs left.
