Spartans split double header against Oakland

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.

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.
