YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University baseball team dropped the first game of its three-game series against Central Michigan University, 11-1, tonight, May 10, at Oestrike Stadium. A tough night for Eastern (11-38-1; 6-16 MAC), the Eagles were limited to just four hits, well behind Central's 19.
Offensively, it was junior Nick Jones (Battle Creek, Mich.-Lakeview) leading the way for the Green and White, providing the team's lone RBI in the contest. After fellow junior Zachary Owings (Saline, Mich.-Saline) poked a two-out single and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Jones singled to center field, getting the Eagles on the board, 9-1, in the sixth inning.
