CANTON, Ohio | ASHLAND, Ohio -- The Malone University baseball team welcomed the newest member of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) to town for a weekend series.
Scheduling conflicts at Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium forced the series to be split in locations between Munson, and Ashland University.
The Timberwolves opened the series with a doubleheader sweep, but on day two the Pioneers were able to get a walk-off win in game one to split the second doubleheader.
