In the first of multiple elimination games in the 2021 NCAA baseball tournament, two schools from Michigan met and after nine innings, a Michigan team would be going home.
Central Michigan made it clear that they would not be the ones headed home.
The Central Michigan Chippewas defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 8-2, on Saturday to remain in the South Bend regional and face the loser of Saturday's late game between Connecticut and Notre Dame on Sunday afternoon.
After each team scored in the opening inning, things were at a stalemate until the middle innings when the Chips pushed two across the plate in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.
