Central Michigan found a way to rebound, Michigan didn’t.
The Chippewas remain alive in the NCAA baseball tournament after an 8-2 victory over Michigan at Frank Eck Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, on Saturday afternoon in an elimination game. CMU, winner of the last two MAC championships, will play the loser of the Notre Dame-UConn game at noon Sunday. The Chippewas fell, 10-0, in the tournament opener to Notre Dame on Friday and are now 41-17.
"Our guys were really motivated to come out and just show that we’re really a quality program that can compete with anybody, obviously, Michigan, national runner-up a couple years ago," CMU coach Jordan Bischel said.
