Lansing — For whatever reason, the MSU baseball team hasn’t been able to use the momentum gained in weekend series and translate it into midweek games in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, coming off a three-game sweep of Michigan, the Spartans fell to a struggling Central Michigan team on their home field. Coming off its first-ever three-game sweep of Minnesota, the Spartans only were able to split a double header against Oakland on Tuesday at Cooley Law School Stadium. The Spartans (21-8) won the first game, 7-1, and lost the second game, 9-7.
