The CMU baseball team huddles before the Chippewas Game against Bowling Green on March 22 at Theunissen Stadium.
After dropping its first game of the Mid-American Conference Tournament to the third-seeded Miami Redhawks 10-5 Wednesday, the Central Michigan baseball team kept its season alive by defeating No. 2 Ball State 4-0 on Thursday in Avon, Ohio.
Starting pitcher, junior Nick Deeg earned a complete-game shutout for the Chippewas. Deeg allowed four hits and finished with eight strikeouts.
Up 1-0 in the seventh inning, the CMU batters gave Deeg some insurance runs. After an RBI single from junior catcher Robert Greenman, the bases were loaded for sophomore outfielder Daniel Jipping.
