After nearly a month, the Central Michigan baseball team has finally won a game, its first since Feb. 18.
In Saturday’s doubleheader with Northwestern at Theunissen Stadium, the Chippewas split the pair of games, going over in the finale.
It’s the Chippewas’ first win against a Big Ten program this season, having lost to Purdue by 10 runs on March 2. Sophomore left-handed pitcher Tyler Hankins earned the victory, who went 0-2 before his fifth overall appearance.
“I thought we played a heck of a second game,” CMU head coach Steve Jaksa said. “I was happy in the first game, thought we played hard, did a lot of good things, pitchers were good especially out of the bullpen.
