MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – No, the won-loss record isn’t anywhere near what coach Steve Jaksa would like it to be.
And while baseball is a bottom-line business, Jaksa has been reasonably happy with the effort and the flashes of progress his Central Michigan baseball team has shown throughout the 2016 season.
Case in point was CMU’s 7-3 14-inning loss to Michigan State Wednesday in the annual Clash at Comerica. The Chippewas fell behind early and clawed back to tie it before finally succumbing in a marathon game that took more than 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete.
