MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Colton Bradley dove across the plate on Robert Greenman’s suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday as the Central Michigan baseball team took a dramatic 2-1 victory from Missouri State on opening day at Theunissen Stadium.
The Chippewas (9-13) bounced back from a 12-1 loss in the opener of the doubleheader. The teams are scheduled to play the series finale on Sunday (1:05 p.m.) at Theunissen.
“We’ve lost quite a few heartbreakers, we’ve lost six one-run games, a couple in extra innings and we think we’re getting over that hurdle,” CMU coach Steve Jaksa said.
