Seventh and eighth inning Louisiana Lafayette home runs nearly spelled doom for the Michigan softball team on Friday in its NCAA Super Regional game at Alumni Field. Not to be outdone, senior Ashley Lane provided the last bit of heroics with a walk off home run of her own to give Michigan a 4-3 win in extra innings.
