Western Michigan wins first championship in MAC baseball

WMU rides an incredible hitting performance to a MAC championship win over heavily-favored Kent State.

From seventh seed to MAC champs. For the first time ever. Western Michigan defeated Kent State to win its very first MAC baseball tournament championship with a 12-7 victory over the one-seed.

The Bronco bats were hot early. The Broncos plated a run in the first off a Hunter Prince sacrifice fly and three in the second off of a Nick Vogelmeier RBI-single and a Grant Miller two-RBI single. Western put up another run in the fourth and five more in the sixth to bust things wide open.
