Jipping's jack, early offense propel baseball to series-opening contest over Toledo

Junior infielder Alex Borglin celebrates after reaching second base during the game against Toledo at Theunissen Stadium, Friday, April 22, 2016.

In center field at Theunissen Stadium in Mount Pleasant, the wall is taller than everywhere else in the ballpark and stands 400 feet from home plate.

Sophomore Daniel Jipping jacked a home run beyond that wall into the trees.

In the second inning, the Central Michigan baseball left fielder took the first pitch from Toledo's Steven Calhoun and propelled the ball into the shrubbery beyond the center field wall to give the Chippewas a 7-0 lead.
