Hail, rain and swirling winds came and went on Saturday at Theunissen Stadium as it took Central Michigan baseball 11 innings to claim victory in game two of its three-game series against Miami (Ohio).

After a ninth-inning RedHawk rally doomed the Chippewas in game one on Friday, it was CMU (17-34, 9-11 Mid-American Conference) who was celebrating on the field at Theunissen Stadium on Saturday.

After one-and-a-half extra innings of scoreless baseball, it was a walk-off triple to the right field fence from junior first basemen Alex Borglin that sent freshman pinch runner Ty Rollin across the plate to win the game 4-3.
