Hours after the Michigan baseball team’s bullpen allowed Pittsburgh to rally for a 9-8 win in its season opener late Friday night, the Wolverines got a solid pitching performance in a 2-1 win over Seton Hall Saturday afternoon in Dunedin, Fla.

Pioneer High School graduate Bobby Brosnahan allowed one run on four hits over seven innings and Logan McAnallen picked up a save with two innings of hitless relief at the Big Ten/Big East Challenge.

“It was a heart-breaker (Friday) night, and you can’t help but think about last year,” said Brosnahan, who was part of a Michigan team that started the 2011 season with eight straight losses. “To come out here and get a win is something we didn’t do last year. We did it this year, which shows it’s a big turnaround.”

Brosnahan gave up single hits in the first, third, fourth and sixth innings and stranded seven Seton Hall (1-1) runners.

“We were really able to mix speeds today and the Seton Hall batters didn’t make any adjustments during the game,” Brosnahan said in a post-game interview with MGoBlue.com. “We kept being able to fool them, mixing our spots, and coming in late with fastballs. It worked well.”

Still, Brosnahan was on the line for the loss when Seton Hall took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and Pirates starter Rick Mangione protected it until the bottom of the sixth.

That’s when the Wolverines’ Patrick Biondi stole second base after a lead-off single and scored on a double by freshman outfielder Will Drake. One out later, Drake scored on a sacrifice fly by Coley Crank.

Biondi went 2-for-4, the only player in the game with multiple hits. (Boxscore)

The Wolverines complete the Big Ten/Big East Challenge with a 12:30 p.m. game against West Virginia in St. Petersburg, Fla.
