2017 MAC Baseball Tournament: CMU wins big, Kent State in danger

Could this finally be Central Michigan’s year to win the MAC Baseball Tournament? The Chippewas have not won the event in 22 years, but they are now halfway their after advancing to the semifinals with an emphatic win over Western Michigan on Thursday. Thursday’s nightcap provided even better news for CMU, as top-seed Kent State fell to Ohio. The Chippewas and Bobcats are each now just one win away from creating a winner-take-all title game on Sunday.

Recaps of the two evening games and the entire tournament schedule are below.

The Chippewas took control early and never looked back as they demolished Western Michigan in the first winner’s bracket game of the MAC Tournament on Thursday night in Avon, Ohio.
