AVON, Ohio – A little team work from the pitching staff and an opportunistic offense. And the Chippewas are still alive.
Zach Gilles and Daniel Robinson had two hits apiece and three pitchers combined on a six-hitter on Friday as Central Michigan held off Toledo, 6-5, in an elimination game at the Mid-American Conference Tournament at Sprenger Stadium.
The fourth-seeded Chippewas (28-29-1) are scheduled to take on third-seeded Ball State (32-25) at 2 p.m. today. The winner moves on, the loser goes home.
Friday's game was the third that CMU has played in the tournament.
