MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich.— The Miami University baseball team fell by the score of 6-3 at Central Michigan Friday in the opener of a three-game series. The RedHawks' record moves to 14-30 (9-13 MAC), while the hosts improve to 28-13 (14-5 MAC).
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Miami took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Evan Appelwick walked to start the inning, followed by a Brian Zapp bunt single. Dom Magliocca pinch ran for Zapp and eventually came around to score the game's first run on an RBI single by Benji Brokemond.

After back-to-back singles from Cooper Weiss and Ryland Zaborowski, David Novak drove in Miami's second run of the game with a groundout to third, scoring Weiss. Appelwick's two -out single down the left-field line brought Zaborowski in and pulled Miami within 5-3.
  • Central Michigan closed the scoring with a solo home run to right center in the bottom of the eighth, accounting for the 6-3 final score.
