AVON, Ohio - Steve Jaksa paused a moment when asked if he could recall a year, in the 14 that he has been Central Michigan's baseball coach, that was as peculiar as this.
"We've had some years where things didn't always go your way," Jaksa said, shifting gears to the 2016 season, during which the Chippewas started 5-23 but have won 10 of their last 13. "We had a lot of things going on there early that we could not control and we were able to right the ship and we kept looking for ways to do it and they kept buying in and right now, we're feeling OK.
