Eastern Michigan baseball works out of ninth-inning jam for MAC win and more Sunday results

By AnnArbor.com Staff

Bases loaded. Two outs. Bottom of the ninth inning.

It’s the kind of situation hitters dream of, but Eastern Michigan sophomore pitcher Kristian Calibuso drew a fly out from Bowling Green designated hitter Matt Pitzulo -- the Falcons’ No. 3 hitter -- to preserve the Eagles’ 5-4 Mid-American Conference road win Sunday.

Calibuso saved a win for sophomore starter Steve Weber, who allowed two runs on five hits through eight innings.

Bowling Green (9-13, 3-3) scored two runs off reliever Joe Battistelli in the bottom of the ninth before Calibuso was called on with two on and no outs to stop the rally.

Dae Bowden, Ben Magsig and Tucker Rubino had two hits apiece for the Eagles (18-10, 5-1). An RBI single by Bowden in the top of the ninth proved to be a valuable insurance run. (Boxscore)

I'm really getting tired of coming to mlive/wolverines and reading stories about EMU. They have their own page. If I wanted to waste my time reading about that dump, I'd visit their page.

Thanks for the feedback. These college roundups typically appear on both the mlive.com/wolverines and mlive.com/eagles pages because they include results from both schools. You'll note that of the seven results included in this roundup, six are from U-M.
