There are metrics people who could probably explain how a group that barely made it into the 64-team NCAA baseball tournament is now humming along in the winner's bracket at the College World Series.
In the Michigan clubhouse, they believe they know the answer.
"Turn Kenny on," Wolverines outfielder Jordan Brewer told a teammate after the Wolverines upset Texas Tech on Saturday, June 15th.
"At practice Kenny's on, on the bus Kenny's on, in the airplane Kenny's on, and when we're chillin' Kenny's on."
After losing 5 of 7 games back in May, the team went to a Kenny Chesney concert in Nebraska and the rest was history. The Wolverines went on to win the regional, defeat #1 UCLA in the super regional, beat Texas Tech in the first game of the College World Series and also defeated Florida State.
