Hibbitts to focus on basketball, drops baseball

Senior forward Blake Hibbitts guards an inbound Saturday at McGuirk Arena against Ohio. The Chippewas defeated the Bobcats, 74-69.

Blake Hibbitts is no longer a dual-sport athlete at Central Michigan, but his career is not yet complete.

Hibbitts, a senior who was a right handed-pitcher on the baseball team and forward on the basketball team, will focus on basketball and plans to return for the 2016-17 season.

A torn ACL during a fall basketball workout kept Hibbitts out for the basketball season, but baseball Head Coach Steve Jaksa said Hibbitts made the decision to leave the baseball program last summer.
