Baseball pulls out 12-9 win in offensive showdown with Northern Illinois

Steve Jaksa’s message was loud and clear following Friday’s 18-6 blowout defeat to Northern Illinois: Move on to the next one.

After suffering its worst loss in Mid-American Conference play this season and third loss in four games, the Central Michigan baseball coach wasn’t interested in dwelling on Friday’s outcome, but rather Saturday’s game, which he said the team “had to win”.

His players appeared to receive that message as the Chippewas looked like the team that started MAC play 8-0.
