RedHawks win three of four in Campbell Invitational
RedHawk baseball had a successful showing in the Campbell Invitational last weekend, winning three of its four games in Buies Creek, NC. After dropping the weekend opener to Western Michigan on Friday, Miami (5-3) bounced back to win its next three, sweeping a Saturday double-header against Yale, and then defeating Campbell on Sunday.
Friday’s game against Western Michigan began as a pitchers’ duel with neither team scoring until the bottom of the seventh inning. The Broncos struck first on a sacrifice fly.
MU answered in the top of the eighth, scoring first on a sacrifice fly by sophomore catcher Cal Elvers and then an RBI single by pinch-hitting sophomore Grant Hartwig to make it 2-1.
