Indiana<\/a>, the Wolverines could look to reimagine their lineup again. Hoehn figures to be a candidate to resume her place in the order, but Ramey\u2019s strong showings may mean first base is occupied for the foreseeable future. To get them both in the lineup when Hoehn isn\u2019t pitching, Tholl would need to do even more shuffling.\u00a0<\/p>\nWhen not in the circle, Hoehn\u2019s appearances in the lineup have come at first base or as a designated player. The latter spot is typically occupied by senior Indiana Langford, a crucial part to Michigan\u2019s offense as the leadoff hitter. Meanwhile, the majority of Langford\u2019s experience in the field has come at second base, a position that senior Janelle Ilacqua has shined in defensively. Making all of these adjustments is easier said than done at this point in the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having to squeeze multiple productive hitters into the order isn\u2019t the worst problem for a coach to have, yet these decisions could be crucial to the Wolverines\u2019 aspirations. Tholl hasn\u2019t previously shied away from making defensive shifts like moving Hoehn to first base. At the business end of the season though, there is less margin for error.<\/p>\n
