Brown outstanding in 3-1 victory over Eastern Michigan
YPSILANTI, Mich. – Cam Brown was superb. And the Chippewas gave him everything he needed on Saturday as the Central Michigan baseball team claimed a 3-1 Mid-American Conference victory over Eastern Michigan at the Eagles' Oestrike Stadium.
The win lifted CMU to 18-5 in the MAC. The Chippewas, who are in first place in the league, have already clinched a spot in the league tournament in Avon, Ohio.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Chippewas got an RBI double from Jacob Crum and a sacrifice fly from Jason Sullivan in the top of the first inning as they seized a 2-0 lead.
Crum added an RBI groundout in the fifth.
Brown, who improved to a MAC-best 9-0, struck out four and surrendered five hits over seven innings. Zach Kohn worked the final two frames for his first save of the season.
CMU COACH JORDAN BISCHEL
"Cam was definitely the story tonight," CMU coach Jordan Bischel said. "He pitches himself into a couple of jams, but made some great pitches against some very good hitters to pick himself up.
"Zach did a great job of coming on to finish it."
SERIES FINALE
The Chippewas and Eagles close the series on Sunday (1 p.m.).
