Ninety-feet was the only thing separating the Central Michigan baseball team from a bid to the Mid-American Conference Tournament.
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and Ty Rollin standing on third base in a tie game on May 17 for a chance to clinch a spot in the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Chippewas delivered.
Zach Heeke threw hit bat out and connected on a pitch from Ohio's Jake Roehen. Heeke hit the ball to the shortstop, but it was deep enough in the hole for him to beat the throw
Simultaneously, Rollin crossed home for a walk-off 3-2 victory at Theunissen Stadium and a berth in the MAC Tournament in Avon, Ohio.
