MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Emma Lotus made the final push for CMU with her first career home run in the top of the fifth inning, but the Chippewas could not hold on and close the game.

The Chippewas took a game from Miami (OH) on Saturday when the two teams split but dropped the final game to end the series at 1-2.
