DeKALB Ill. - Pat Leatherman was good in the opener. Michael Brettell was even better in the nightcap.
And the Central Michigan baseball team is off to a good start in the Mid-American Conference and has extended its win streak to five games.
Leatherman combined with two relievers to blank Northern Illinois, 6-0, on Friday in the opening game of a MAC doubleheader, and then Brettell tossed his first career complete game as the Chippweas took the nightcap, 8-1, at NIU's Ralph McKinzie Field.
