The Wolverines struck for seven runs on eight hits and two Chippewa errors in the third to take the lead for good.
CMU got a run in the first when Cole Prout was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The Chippewas' other runs came in the ninth on RBI singles by Donahue and Ely Stuart.
Trey Miller (1-6) started for CMU and took the loss. He allowed eight runs on seven hits over 2 1/3 innings. Bryce Hellgeth, Jack Bell, Jake Brown and Evan Waters pitched in relief.
