Hosick spins one-hit gym as Miami shuts out CMU

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI -- Presley Hosick (W,17-5) tossed a complete game one-hit shutout and the RedHawk offense totaled 12 hits in an 8-0 Miami (35-15, 16-8 MAC) victory over Central Michigan (23-20, 14-9 MAC) Sunday at Margo Jonker Stadium. 

It was MU's second win in the series and followed a split of Saturday's double header.
