Central Michigan baseball wins MAC tournament, 11-7 over Ball State, for NCAA bid

Central Michigan powered its way to the Mid-American Conference baseball championship with an 11-7 win over Ball State on Sunday in Muncie, Indiana.

The Chippewas (42-17) won the MAC for the third straight season (2019, 2021; there was no champion crowned in 2020) and earned its 16th all-time bid to the NCAA tournament. The field will be announced Monday afternoon.

Mario Camilletti, Garrett Navarra and Robby Morgan each hit home runs for CMU, which collected 17 hits.

Camilletti led off the eighth with a single, and with one out Ball State lifted reliever Sam Klein in favor of Tyler Schweitzer.
