Registered Student Organizations in need of financial support to pay conference or registration fees will receive no funds from the Student Budget Allocations Committee.

SBAC, the organization respon-sible for paying registration fees, bringing in guest speakers and funding RSO-centered projects, has run out of money.

SBAC Chairperson Shelbe Klebs said this happens every year.

“The fiscal year (for SBAC) goes from July to July, so our budget gets established about the middle of July,” Klebs said. “It would hope-fully last to the following July or at least May but (it doesn’t).”

More than 20 requests for fund-ing were received by SBAC during spring break alone.

Since then, more RSOs have been denied.

“There is a number of RSOs that I do think (SBAC running out of money) will really hurt,” Klebs said. “Especially when you get smaller RSOs, a lot of times they get a substantial amount of their fund-ing from outside sources like SBAC and department funding. It’s at that point in the semester where a lot of that money is starting to dry up.”

SGA Vice President Maggie Blackmer said she does not see SBAC running out of funds as a

negative, but she is “glad” to see students utilizing it.

“I would rather have the money run out and we no longer have any funding to give, rather than have an abundance of money no one can use and (RSOs) didn’t know they could use,” Blackmer said.

SGA is in the process of request-ing an increase in the funds. The current budget, which funds organi-zations such as SBAC and Program

After waking up at four every morn-ing to go to work, Brandon DeChane found it hard to focus on his classes.

That was his first semester. Now, the Marysville freshman freshman finds himself at high risk of losing his academic scholarship after being placed on probation at the end of first semester. He plans on attending com-munity college next year to make up for the loss of financial help.

“It affected my grades because I was tired a lot,” DeChane said. “It was hard to wake up at 4 a.m.. and then go to class after.”

About 85 percent of scholarship recipients retain their scholarship each year. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid sees a high renewal rate on scholarships.

Academic scholarships require students to take 30 credit hours a year and retain a grade point average of 3.25. The most common reason for students losing scholarships is not maintaining their grade point average.

“We noticed a majority of the students who have trouble, have trouble their first year,” said the di-rector of scholar-ships and financial aid Kirk Yats.

Yats advises students to monitor their progress throughout the semesters. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid does not evaluate a student’s GPA until the end of the year, so if the scholarship is at risk after the first semester, working to obtain the grades needed to bring the grade point up to par is suggested.

Howell senior Josh Harrison started to attend SI sessions for classes once he realized that due to failing two classes first semester, he was going to lose his scholarship for the following year.

“I wasn’t motivated, and I was ad-justing to a life change of coming from a home with a lot of rules to a place that I could do whatever whenever. I couldn’t properly balance school and my social life,” Harrison said. “I’m

doing much better this semester after having a few months to find how to manage my time better. I plan on find-ing additional scholarships to make up for the cost if I lose it.”

After the first semester, if a student’s grade point is lower than their scholar-ship requirement, a success coach will contact them. If the student’s first semester grade point is too low, Yats recommends talking to an adviser and beginning to search for additional scholarship opportunities.

“The key is to get them in early or make them aware early that they have renewal requirements that they have to hit, or else they won’t keep their scholarship,” he said.

Central Michigan University gives out more than $16 million in total scholarships, including merit scholarships, institutional scholarships and annual scholar-ships. It’s possible to earn enough additional scholarships after los-ing an academic one.

Registering for FAFSA is the first step to potentially make up for a lost scholarship, he said. Checking with

departments, parents’ employers and local businesses for additional scholar-ships is also an option.

Students also have the opportunity to appeal to keep their scholarship. The chances of being approved is “high if providing a documentation” of a rea-son for the low grade point, like health issues and family or roommate issues.

“We are typically quite lenient in approving those appeals, especially if their grade point is in the range that they can make it up in the next semes-ter or year,” Yats said.

Attending a community college for a few years or taking out loans is another option. However, Yats warns that over-borrowing could be problematic be-cause the office doesn’t want students to be in heavy debt upon graduation.

“We always warn to borrow maybe a little less than they need. However, in some cases, borrowing loans could be one option to pay the financial costs,” Yats said. “Students borrowing a small amount of money is a good thing to help build credit. Create a budget and sit down and figure out what you really need.”

Board, has not seen an in-crease in the past 14 years.

Blackmer said she is positive University President George Ross and the Budget Priorities Committee will approve the increase in financial aid.

“(SGA president) Chuck (Mahone) and I are very confi-dent there will be an increase in campus funding,” Blackmer said. “As we said during our in-auguration ceremony, we will make sure (increasing SBAC) is one of our priorities.”

Mahone did not share Blackmer’s optimism.

“The only reason (SBAC) has lasted this long is because of Shelbe (Klebs) and the committee equally doling out funds and trying to be very realistic with how many applications they’re going to get,” Mahone said. “This is a perfect example of why we need more funding — be-

cause we have a month left of school and we’re already out.”

In February, Mahone went before the Board of Trust-ees to ask for an increase of $327,000. The Budget Priori-ties Committee recommend an increase of only $150,000.

As of now, the administration has not told SGA if they will receive the funding increase.

SBAC is not set to receive its yearly replenishment of funds until July, where the univer-sity will set aside the standard amount of $80,000 for the committee. The overall budget for SBAC has stayed “pretty consistent” over the last three to four years, Klebs said.

“The (CPF) hasn’t in-creased, but (the university) has expanded the amount of programs the CPF money is meant to be used for,” Klebs said. “We’re basically meant to stretch that pot (of fund-ing), which has been the same for however many years, over a wider range of programs and offices which makes re-ally difficult to decide who needs the money the most.”

Students and RSOs could abuse SBAC funding, but Blackmer said this is unlikely.

“SBAC never fully funds any application,” Blackmer said. “Sitting on the committee last year, there’s no way that we can because the percentage to ratio of how many students are going per conference — with some conferences cost-ing $100 per person, where as another may cost $1,100 — people are ( just) using SBAC to the best of their abilities.”

Until an increase is seen, however, SBAC will continue to turn away applications for financial aid for RSOs.

“If (getting CPF increased) was a priority, we wouldn’t be having this conversation because when the university has a priority, they make sure it gets done,” Mahone said. “We have three major construction projects going on right now — a lacrosse field, a hotel and a $90 million Biosciences Building — we’re not even asking for a fraction of the funds it takes to do any of that. It’s obviously not a priority for (the university).”

Natural History will be presenting an exhibit on the Institute for Great Lakes Research on April 15 in Rowe Hall.

This exhibit will showcase the research of nine Central Michigan University faculty members who study the great lakes as members of the IGLR. These include Founding Member Donald Uzarski, Deric Learman, Kevin Pangle, Andrew Mahon, Tracy Galorowicz, Scott NcNaught Daelyn Woolnough and David Zanatta.

This exhibit also features the Great Lakes Adventure, an interactive tour that will educate children on mining, invasive species, travel and more in the five great lakes.

The event will take place from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The exhibit of the faculty research will be in the Museum Exhibition Hall in Rowe 124 and the Great Lakes Adventure will be in the Children’s Gallery in Rowe 101A.

“We all live around (the Great Lakes) and we all benefit from the Great Lakes, so it’s a huge resource to us in a number of ways,” said associate professor and curator of natural history Kirsten Nicholson. “It serves as a source of food and drinking water. It’s an important ecosystem because it cleans the toxicants from the water and basically keeps everything in the ecosystem in and around the lakes going.”

Of 572 Central Michigan Univer-sity students who studied abroad last year, 61 percent traveled during the summer.

According to Assistant Director of Study Abroad Amber Schneider, many students study abroad during the summer to follow their aca-demic plans and make sure they’re on track to graduate. Shorter pro-grams are offered during the sum-mer, lasting anywhere from two to 12 weeks, while semester programs last 10 to 18 weeks.

“I decided to study abroad in the summer so it doesn’t conflict with the classes I need to take here at CMU,” said Saline sophomore Katia Koerner.

Koerner will spend six weeks of her summer in Florence, Italy. She said studying abroad during the academic year can often be better for students financially.

“I know students tend to think, ‘I don’t have a lot of money, so I’m going to go for summer because it’s shorter (and) will be cheaper,’” Schneider said. “However, the financial aid you receive during the academic year applies to your semester abroad as well.”

Because of this, she said students who study abroad during the academic year receive their normal financial aid for the academic year, in addition to scholarships for study abroad.

Spring is a more popular time to study abroad than fall. Because less students study abroad during the fall, the scholarships are less competitive.

Because of financial benefits, Schneider said some students might choose to study abroad during their sophomore year.

“If (students) receive a scholar-ship from CMU, they’re required to live in the residence halls for two years, so a lot of students will study abroad that second semester of their sophomore year because then they don’t have to worry about breaking a lease or finding a sub-lease,” Schneider said.

She said historically, students went abroad during their junior year, but now, her office sees more students study abroad earlier, allowing them take multiple trips. Because students are eligible to go abroad the second semester of their sophomore year, Schneider said many students travel during the spring.

Last year, 39 percent of stu-dents who studied abroad were sophomores.

Schneider said it’s better for some students to go before they start taking higher level courses for their major, while other students might benefit from going abroad earlier because of internship plans or other factors.

“I want to do an internship next summer, so the best time for me to study abroad was this summer,” Koerner said.

Schneider said the best time to study abroad varies for each student. Study abroad advisers look at students’ criteria to help them determine what the best time for them to go abroad would be.

“Historically, study abroad was a junior year abroad, so students would go away for the entire academic year and it was for their junior year,” Schneider said. “We have nationally started trending toward shorter term programs, both semester and summer, and it’s really become more diverse at what level students are going abroad.”

Frankenmuth junior Zac Scher-zer and five other students carpool in his red GMC Terrain every Tuesday morning to the Village of Rosebush Manor. They are part of a student organization that helps the elderly stay in contact with friends and family using technology.

Scherzer is the founding presi-dent of Care Share Connect—in Touch Technology. The group was created last year, and reaches out to residents in senior citizen care facilities. Scherzer said the orga-nization plans to expand as more members join.

Senior citizens who choose to participate are taught how to use either Microsoft, email, Facebook and Skype.

What inspired you to start Care Share Connect?

SCHERZER: I was looking for a way to give back to the Mount Pleasant community, (and) I thought this would be a great way to get students involved with the (elderly).

I had done this (before) throughout grade school and high school back in Frankenmuth. I started a computer lab at one of the elderly facilities, and I would work with a handful of people twice a week. It was just some-thing that I love to do, so I wanted to bring that here to Central.

How many people do you help, and what do you do?

Right now we go to Rosebush Manor every Tuesday, and we work with just under a dozen people. What we do varies from

person to person, but we teach them how to use either their own personal device if they have one, like a computer, laptop, smart-phone, iPad or anything like that.

I work with one lady, I think she’s 94 years old, who just wants to be able to contact her children. I set up an email account for her, and help manage that. I read the emails to her, she tells me what to write and I write them for her, and (that way) she is able to keep in contact with her children all over the country.

What do you do if people don’t have their own devices?

If they don’t have (their own devices) and they would like to learn, the university actually gave us a desktop computer that we keep permanently at Rosebush. They also gave us four iPads, which is very awesome because we can take that room to room or apartment to apartment.

What do you get out of being a part of this RSO?

I have really connected with the older adult population. I love building relationships with them. These people we are working with, they learn so much from us, but we learn tenfold from them.

“They learn so much from us, but we learn tenfold from them.”

Twenty-seven. There is nothing special or remarkable about this number until I remember it is the number of days standing between me and the walk across a stage that will end my college career.

On May 9, hundreds of us will graduate with bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees and move on to our next big adventures.

As I am bombarded with final projects, graduation email re-minders and end-of-the year out-ings and banquets, it is impossible to escape the feeling that some-thing is coming to an end.

In one sense, that is true. My four wonderful, eye-opening and informative years at Central Michigan University are coming

to a fast close. This chapter of my life is nearly written.

On the other hand, my educa-tion is far from over. While my experience as an undergraduate student will end, my status as a student remains intact.

Sometimes, I feel so much of our energies are focused on getting a college degree that we forget what little significance they have in the grand scheme of things. We work in high school for the grades to get us in, work mul-tiple jobs to pay for it and work internships to make our degrees look applicable.

All this to get a job, and then what? We’re done? We’ve paid our dues and now we get to check out, focusing on the jobs we hopefully got and nothing more?

That’s not how I want to live my life after graduation. Person-ally, I plan to return to graduate school later in life to pursue a master’s degree. Whether you plan to stay in academia forever, or leave and never look back, graduation should never be the end of your education.

Learning can be as extensive as taking night classes or traveling and as simple as a cooking class or read-

ing a new book. With all the world has to offer beyond our narrowly-focused college degrees, to cease being curious simply because your formal education has ended would be a disservice to yourself.

I want to be a lifelong learner, and I encourage all graduates-to-be to pursue the same goal. The world we live in, and people we share it with are too amazing to ignore, and we certainly don’t need a classroom to learn about them.

So, while you may never be a student at CMU again, you will always be a student of the world.

Never stop learningMegan Pacer

Have you ever heard the story about how Gentle Thursday and Gentle Friday came to be at Central Michigan University, and that these days were sparked by anti-war pro-tests during the Vietnam Era?

Did you know about President Warriner’s involvement in the 19th Century Peace Movement?

Did you know that the American Indian Industrial Boarding School in Mount Pleasant was where more than 200 Native American children died after they were stolen from their homes and forcibly assimi-lated into white society between 1893 and 1934?

CMU may not have the same rich history of schools like Berkeley and other prominent universities, but our school has had its own impact on United States history.

The Clarke Historical Library offers an opportunity for the CMU community to engage in under-standing our own history and to learn from it. The Historical Library allows the memory of past events at CMU to live on and to continue to bring the university into the future.

I have done some digging while living up in Mount Pleasant and I found some remarkable stories of CMU students. I did this after a pro-fessor uncovered decades of history related to peace and human rights.

I encourage all those with any kind of interest to check out the Historical Library. Many of the nameless students can serve as inspirations when facing daunt-ing challenges today. Many of the struggles these students of the past fought for continue today.

I encourage students to submit photos or news clips and other documentation to the Clarke Historical Library. While our time here at CMU is only temporary, our legacy can live on. In October, Central Michigan Life published an editorial about how campus advocacy is alive on campus. Let’s preserve this history to let future students know that when an injus-tice existed, we resisted.

Whether you’re a part of feminist groups, environmental or-ganizations, political clubs or even the Circus Arts Club, the Clarke Historical Library has space for your memories.

Walt Whitman wrote, “The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”

Contribute your verse by send-ing a member of your RSO to the Clarke Historical Library with your documents to submit a dona-tion form. The memories will be processed and documented for future generations.

Idaho, Utah, Texas and Wyoming have all enacted legislation that raised the legal speed limit to 80 mph on certain roads. In Michigan, House Bill 5964 would allow the Michigan Department of Transportation and Michigan State Police to designate stretches of road as “rural limited access freeways.”

Those freeways would be eligible for the speed increase, and all of them would need to be designated within a year of the law’s passing. The bill package has been referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

We applaud Michigan’s step to follow other states with this bill. We urge lawmakers not to impede the bill’s progress and encourage stu-dents to support the package.

Some might argue that increas-ing the speed limit in some areas will create more dangerous driving conditions. Studies conducted by Michigan State Police revealed driv-ers are actually safest when traveling the speed at which 85 percent of traffic is moving.

This 85th percentile speed is generally five to 10 mph above the average speed of traffic. Increasing

the speed limit to the point at which most people are already driving will ensure a smooth flow of traffic and fewer speeding tickets.

Further, Michigan State Police will still be just as present on freeways to enforce safety laws and ticket those who are not driving safely.

State Rep. Brad Jacobson, R-Oxford, helped introduce the bill. He cited a portion of highway US-127 between Jackson and Lansing, lengths of I-75 north of Bay City and a stretch of I-69 between Lansing and Port Huron as examples of roads that could be eligible for rural limited access freeways.

For the hundreds of students who use these roads to commute between school and home, their travel time would be significantly reduced. They would also be at a lower risk of getting into an acci-

dent or being ticketed.Examples set by other states have

reinforced the fact that the bill will make driving safer. In Utah especial-ly, where the law has been in place long enough to complete follow-up studies, there is proof that increasing the speed limit can be successful.

Studies found there was a 20 percent drop in drivers exceeding the speed limit in Utah. They also found an 11 to 20 percent drop in speed-related accidents on stretches of highway affected by the law.

Michigan lawmakers have already taken one step in the right direction by putting a proposal on the May 5 ballot to increase money for road repair. We view House Bill 5964 as another positive step and encour-age CMU students and community members to support it with their own safety in mind.

Smoke billowed from behind Wightman Hall until Sunday morning as ceramic students used a wood burning kiln to fire pottery.

The wood kiln, which is lo-cated on the southwest side of Wightman Hall, burned from 7 a.m. Friday to 7:30 p.m. Sunday and reached 2,400 degrees, said ceramics Assistant Profes-sor Greg Stahly.

“The only fuel source is wood. There is no natural gas,” Stahly said. “We are looking at 48, potentially 50, 52 hours of firing time. That’s people here 24 hours a day for that entire time.”

Stahly said using a wood kiln involves a specific fir-ing process.

“The work that goes into the kiln doesn’t have any glaze on it, so it’s just raw clay in there,” Stahly said. “Through-out the course of the firing, wood ash gets deposited on the work and at about 2,400 degrees that actually melts and turns into a glaze. That’s called natural ash glazing.”

Zach Taylor, a senior from Mayville and an advanced ceramics student working the kiln, said the kiln will burn close to eight to 10 cords of wood.

Stahly said the wood came from a local sawmill and local trees cleared for building.

Taylor, who said he hoped to do wood fires for a living, said the firing was a good commu-nity experience and chance for

ceramic students to interact.“The thing I love about it

is this is how it all started—it was all in a wood fire pit,” Taylor said. “It’s kind of nice to go back to that—to step away from the technology of electric kilns or even gas kilns. I just like going back to the old way of doing it. It may be a little bit harder and hotter, but it’s a lot more fun.”

CMU alumna and Dearborn Heights native Sadie Mishok worked the kiln as the stoker, wood loader, said the key was to watch the smoke coming out of the chimney.

“It’s very intense (to work the kiln),” Mishok said. “The heat will get you. This is my third shift of the day. I started working at three in the morning.”

Baseball seeking revenge against MSU at annual clash in DetroitBy Taylor DesOrmeau

Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University base-ball won the 2014 “Clash at Comerica” against Michigan State for the first time in the game’s history.

The Chippewas (24-12, 10-2 Mid-American Conference) will look to hold on to the title at 7:05 p.m. Wednesday at Comerica Park against Michigan State University (18-15, 4-5 Big Ten).

From 2009-2013, CMU was 2-10 against the Spartans, but swept the three games in 2014. MSU ended the Chip-pewa winning streak March 24, topping CMU 8-3 in East Lansing.

“The venue is good for the guys,” said Head Coach Steve Jaksa. “It meant a little bit more last year because we hadn’t won the first three.”

CMU and MSU used to play the neutral-site game in Midland’s Dow Dia-

mond, but moved over to Comerica Park, the home of the Detroit Tigers, in 2011.

Junior outfielder Logan Regnier has played in the clash twice and said he doesn’t get any extra pre-game jitters.

“You can’t hype up any more game than the rest,” Regnier said. “You just stick with what you do and enjoy the moment.”

While Jaksa said he prioritizes the win over getting everybody in the game, he said the whole team will travel to the game to experience the game.

“It’s cool to take it in, because we get to tour the Tigers’ clubhouse and all that,” Regnier said. “That’s an eye-open-ing, really cool experience.”

Regnier lives about 30 miles from Comerica Park in Novi and said he has friends and family members coming to the game.

Jaksa said the attendance can be as high as 5,000 people, although it seems

empty inside the 41,574-per-son park.

Sophomore pitcher Blake Hibbitts (0-2, 6.23 ERA) will start Wednesday for CMU. The two-sport Hudsonville native pitched four innings in Wednesday’s win over Oakland, allowing four hits and two runs.

“He’s been the guy,” Jaksa said about weekday games. “Hopefully we’ll bump him up another 10-15 pitches and he’ll be really effective.”

CMU enters Wednes-day on a five-game win-ning streak while MSU won the final two games of its series against Northwestern this weekend. The Spartans will play the University of Michigan Tues-day at Comerica Park.

The word “keno” is a word with French and Latin origins meaning “a set of five winning numbers.”

Central Michigan athletics essentially guaranteed a set of five winning records when they signed Head Coach Keno Davis to a five-year extension Thursday.

The Mid-American Confer-ence was able to shed University at Buffalo’s Bobby Hurley last week when the former Duke All-American departed for the Arizona State University head coaching position.

Hurley coached the Bulls to its first MAC Tournament Champi-onship and NCAA Tournament berth in program history.

Bowling Green State Uni-versity’s first year head coach, Chris Jans, was let go earlier this spring due to misconduct after contending for the MAC regular season title with the likes of CMU and Buffalo.

Yet Davis remains. And he’s ready to pounce.

He’s repeatedly claimed he wants to stay in Mount Pleas-ant. He’s happy here, and this contract is proof.

Davis was the MAC Coach of the Year this season, but still won’t be the highest paid coach in the conference even after the extension. Davis will earn $300,000 per year plus $100,000 a season for television, radio and promotional appearances.

Meanwhile, Ohio University Head Coach Saul Phillips is earn-ing a base salary of $550,000 after leading the Bobcats to a 10-20 record this year. Toledo University, Akron University and Western Michigan University’s head coaches also have higher head coaching salaries than CMU’s giving Davis.

Perhaps the best part about the extension is the commitment shown by Davis and CMU.

If either party wants to terminate the contract with three or more years left, they owe the other side a cool $1 million. The punishment for leaving decreases over time, but doesn’t disappear, even in the final year of the contract.

Just like WMU Football Coach P.J. Fleck, Davis is a talent worthy of a national pow-erhouse but is displaying loyalty with a long contract extension at a modest price.

Just as Chippewa fans hoped, Davis isn’t using CMU as a step-ping stone, but a cornerstone.

CMU hit the lottery.

Davis is worth every penny

“It went amazingly well,” Rust said. “We had a really great turnout for how

little this sport is known at this school. We had a lot of teams here, so that was awesome. Everyone worked and played extremely hard.”

CMU kicked off with a matchup against BGSU. CMU won its first match against the Falcons 19-10.

15TH ANNUAL

READER’s CHOICE AWARDS!

By Joe JuddStaff Reporter

With a 7-4 victory on Sunday afternoon, Cen-tral Michigan University softball secured a two-game weekend series sweep of Eastern Michigan Uni-versity at Margo Jonker Stadium.

The Chippewas are now 15-16 overall and 4-3 in Mid-American Conference play, winning seven of their last eight games.

With 16 games remaining, CMU is in fourth place in the MAC West Division.

SUNDAYIn a back and forth con-

test on Sunday, the Eagles scored the first run to go on top.

But CMU responded with an offensive explosion, and the Chippewas secured the series victory.

“(Sunday) was kind of an ugly game. We made a couple of defensive errors,” said Head Coach Margo Jonker. “We got the hits when we needed them.”

Senior shortstop Trista Cox drove in freshman leftfielder Lacy Tolfree after Tolfree reached on a leadoff walk. She proceeded to steal her 17th base of the season and advance to third base on a bobbled ball by EMU’s catcher.

Tolfree had another sto-len base in the third inning after being hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Her 18 steals on the season leads the team.

With the game dead-locked at one run apiece, freshman catcher Maison Kalina drove in fellow freshman centerfielder Sara Hansen from second base on double to centerfield.

Kalina was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the home victory.

EMU tied the game at

two in the top of the fourth inning on an error by senior shortstop Trista Cox, but CMU reclaimed the lead a half inning later with three runs scored on two hits and a walk.

Supplying some power for CMU was sophomore designated hitter Kristen Goodall. She added an important insurance run in the sixth inning with a solo home run to left field.

“It gave us a little bit of relief. You never know what’s going to happen in a one-run game,” Jonker said. “The wind was blowing out today so any ball that got up in the air could’ve gone out.”

In the circle for the Chip-pewas was freshman Hanna Warren. The Canton native pitched 4 1/3 innings, giv-ing up three earned runs on five hits.

With the win, Warren’s record in the circle im-proved to 4-7 this season.

Sophomore Rachael Knapp pitched in relief of Warren. She shut the Ea-gles’ bats down in two and a third innings pitched, with a walk and three strikeouts, earning her second save of the season.

“I certainly have a lot of confidence in (Knapp). I think the whole team does too,” Jonker said. “When she comes in, everybody feels like we’re in good shape.”

SAtUrDAY Katelyn Rentschler’s

three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh in-ning gave CMU’s softball team a come-from-behind 5-2 win over Eastern Michi-gan on Saturday afternoon.

Rentchler’s homerun was her seventh of the season. The junior first baseman and Etiwanda, Cali. native currently leads the team in home runs. Rentschler’s bat-ting average now sits at .325.

“(Rentschler) looked re-

ally calm,” Jonker said. “She was in the right frame of mind and seemed confi-dent and kept fouling some pitches off and got a pitch that she could handle.”

CMU trailed the Eagles by a score 1-0 for the major-ity of the game, in what was primarily a pitcher’s duel, after EMU plated a run on a single to center field in the first inning.

Jonker’s team was able to score its first runs of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning on junior sec-ond baseman Chelsea DeLa-mielleure’s two-run home run to right field, tying the game at two in the process.

This game after se-nior shortstop Trista Cox reached base on an error by EMU’s center fielder.

“It was a great game for us in a lot of ways,” Jonker said. “We had a great crowd, great weather and then we had a victory. Put in all together and it was a great day for Chippewa softball.”

Sophomore Rachael Knapp threw her 12th complete-game of the sea-son, earning the victory in the circle and improving to 10-6 on the season.

Knapp struck out eight batters on six hits while surrendering one earned run and walking two in the win. Her 10 wins in the circle leads CMU this season.

“I thought Knapp had good poise,” Jonker said. “(Eastern) didn’t really have that many hard hits off of her. Overall I thought she pitched a good game.”

The last time Central

Michigan University baseball lost a game was April 4 in a 16-inning 4-3 loss to Toledo.

Head Coach Steve Jaksa said the bottom line was that the Chippewas needed to get hits.

Five games and 63 runs and 72 hits later, the Chip-pewas are tied with their longest winning streak of the year and at the top of the Mid-American Conference standings.

CMU swept Eastern Michigan University at home this weekend, moving the Chippewas to 24-12 and 10-2 in MAC play.

SundayAfter blowout victories

Friday and Saturday, the Chippewas relied on pitch-ing in their 3-1 victory.

CMU took a 2-0 lead in the third inning after junior outfielder Logan Regnier tripled in a run and then scored on a wild pitch.

“The results weren’t like the last couple days, but not every game’s going to be like that,” Regnier said. “The pitching staff did a great job of keeping us in the game.”

The Chippewas led 2-1 in the top of the seventh when they decided to bring in senior closer Tim Black with one out and a runner on third base.

“He came out and shut them down,” Regnier said. “That’s what Tim does. I really don’t expect anything else every time he goes out there, to be honest with you.”

Black stranded the runner and would pick up the eight-out save Sunday.

“Tim was really sharp the last five outs,” Jaksa said. “He was just lights out, especially in that last inning. Really good tough slider and he located his fastball.”

Freshman reliever Sean Martens (5-0, 1.11 ERA) earned the win, pitching 1 2/3 innings and allowing two his and no runs.

SaturdayA packed Theunissen

Stadium crowd watched CMU clinch its fourth con-secutive conference series with an 18-3 win over EMU Saturday.

Junior pitcher Sean Renzi (1-1, 2.81 ERA) made his first career start and picked up the win. He pitched six in-nings and gave up two runs and two hits to go with six strikeouts and four walks.

“He walked a couple guys and then he got back into a good flow,” Jaksa said. “We exploded offensively, which maybe helped him a little bit.”

Sophomore center fielder Alex Borglin led the Chippe-was in runs (5) and hits (4) while senior second base-man Pat MacKenzie finished with five RBI’s, three hits and three runs.

The Chippewas had 20 hits, surpassing their previ-ous season high of 18, which they set Friday. Their 18 runs Saturday was also the most in a game this season.

“I thought we swung the bat pretty well,” Jaksa said. “We as a coaching staff thought (Jake Andrews) was their best starting pitcher of the three.”

Andrews was hit in the face by a line drive in the third inning. He would walk off the field under his own power, ending his afternoon.

Senior center fielder Nick Regnier played for the first time since March 29 when he pinch-hit in the eighth inning Saturday.

“I was thinking about it while I was raking the field,”

MacKenzie said. “All the years I’ve been here I can’t remember if we’ve done this. It’s a lot of fun.”

Junior first baseman Zack Fields and junior third baseman Joe Houlihan both hit home runs for CMU Sat-urday, propelling CMU to a 14-1 lead after three innings.

FridayOn a windy and cool

Friday afternoon, CMU defeated EMU 16-6.

“They (EMU) made a couple of mistakes in the second inning and we capi-talized,” said Jaksa. “They had a passed ball and the error in the infield. It just opened the gates.”

CMU finished with 18 hits, including a home run by junior first baseman Zack Fields.

Sophomore pitcher Nick Deeg started, picking up his sixth win going seven innings, allowing one run on eight hits and striking out four.

Senior second baseman Pat MacKenzie led CMU in hits with four, while fresh-man Daniel Jipping led in runs batted in with four.

Jipping, who also cel-ebrated his birthday Friday, said keeping things simple at the plate were key in his success.

“I felt good,” Jipping said. “It’s just about sticking to the approach that we’ve been taught and that we have everyday. It seems to be working very well for us as of late.”

House said. “We also sold a lot of T-shirts that featured our sponsors. If we didn’t have sponsors, we wouldn’t have this tournament hap-pen.”

CMU lost its second game to the Grand Valley State Lakers 32-5, but re-bounded to rout FSU 39-17.

Rebels alumna and Il-linois graduate student Meagan Blocker was at Kelly/Shorts to help cheer on her former squad. She spent her time watch-ing her team break down details of the games the Rebels played.

“We’ll get clustered in one area and then people will find open gaps and score tries on us,” Blocker said. “The one game (they lost) we were struggling a lot. We didn’t communi-cate well and were gath-ered into one area.”

Each team played with 10 players on the field and two 10-minute halves, as opposed to the 15 play-ers on the field and two 40-minute halves in a regular non-tournament game.

Each squad played three games, but since there were five teams, WMU had

to face a combined CMU/Ferris State group in the final game.

The Broncos dominated resulting in a 36-0 victory.

“We had a lot of break-aways and we ran ex-tremely hard,” Rust said of the final game. “When we know we can run and we don’t doubt ourselves, we are awesome.”

Their hard work on the field helps build friend-ships off the field, Rust said.

“On the field, we are very hard-working and determined,” she said. “Off the field, it’s the same thing. We’re a family.”

a changing cultureNow in its 20th season,

the team is starting to get younger, and departing players such as House are preparing the inexpe-rienced Rebels for next season.

“The biggest highlight is getting our new members out there and getting them

ready for next fall,” House said. “They did great. They learned a lot and they are preparing for next year.”

Blocker spoke of the impact this team had on her life.

“We are pretty fantastic,” Blocker said. “I played in my undergrad and I’m still here. It basically becomes like a second family. When I’m not at school or work, I’m with these guys.”

Rust joined the team in 2013 after knowing nothing about the sport and “fell in love with it.”

“Once you get it, it just clicks,” Rust said. “The whole rugby community is a community within itself.”

House said the Rebels have many reasons to be optimistic heading into next season.

“Overall, I see a great team forming next year,” House said. “I am not wor-ried whatsoever (with the newer players). These girls are doing so well.”

Members of the Central

Michigan University track and field teams were in different locations this weekend but found the same success.

CMU took four distance runners to Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. Saturday to participate in the Bison Out-door Classic. Three Chippewas earned spots in the Top 3 of their respective events. The rest of the team took part in the Oakland University Invitation-al and swept the competition.

Vs. OaklandThe men knocked off

Valparaiso University 81-28, In-diana University-Purdue Uni-versity Fort Wayne 81-8, Siena Heights University 81-0, the University of Detroit-Mercy 79-33 and Oakland University 69-67 at a scored dual-meet in Rochester.

Freshman Lorenzo Wells won the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.82 seconds, while teammates sophomore Malik Peacock, with a time of 10.97, and junior Tahshohn Reese with a time of 10.99, finished

in second and third place, respectively.

Freeland junior Monte Scott took first in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with at time of 9:47.55. The 4x400-meter team of Vasquez and sophomores Ziemowit Dutkiewicz, Quincy Briggs, and Ja’Corey Lipsey edged out Oakland and Detroit with a time of 3:19.04.

In the men’s field events, junior Matt Mueller won the high jump at 2 meters, while sophomore Ryan Vincent took the pole vault at 4.42 meters. Junior Brandon McCleese placed first in the javelin throw

with a toss of 55.44 meters to round out the first-place finishes on the men’s side.

The women also had a clean sweep of the competition. CMU downed IPFW 92-47, Oakland 78-74, Siena Heights 97-0, Valparaiso 96-22 and Detroit 90-43.

Freshman Tina Davis notched a victory in the 100-meter dash at 12.24, while senior Diamond Hamilton fell right behind her at 12.29 for a second-place finish.

The Chippewas had a pair of first-place finishes in the 400-meter and 800-meter

dashes. Senior Ravyn Baxter won the 400 at 56.51, while sophomore Kelsey Ross edged out 10 runners to add another first-place finish for CMU in the 800 (2:14.82).

A pair of seniors took the top two spots in the 400-meter hurdles. Bridget Doughty had the first-place finish at 1:00.68, while Emma Fishnick was a few hundredths of a second behind her at 1:00.75.

The 4x100-meter relay team of Hamilton, Davis, junior Markala Goodson and Baxter won their event with a time of 47.09.

Vs. Bucknell Matt Kaczor, associate head

coach of CMU track and field, took a group of four distance runners to compete at Bucknell on Saturday, and their produc-tion seemed identical to their peers at Oakland.
