You had a bad day....

The Braves thought they were throwing batting practice last night as the Diamondbacks beat them 11-1. The D-Backs hit 5 homers in the game. Jo-Jo Reyes gave up 7 earned runs in 5 inning to take the loss. Brian McCann had 2 hits for the Braves. Chipper Jones was 1-1 before leaving the game. He still leads the league with a .415 average. Kelly Johnson extended his hitting streak to 10 games. The two teams play at 355pm today. Jorge Campillo pitches for the Braves, while Randy Johnson will pitch for Arizona.

Ball State took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning but could not hold on as they were eliminated from the MAC tournament by Northern Illinois 6-5. BSU's all-time saves leader Kyle Heyne was brought on in the 8th to close the door, but an error that led to two unearned runs in the ninth sealed his fate. Zach Dygert, Kolbrin Vitek, and Matt Stokelen all had two hits. Vitek and Nate Fields homered to help the Cardinals tie a school record with 95 HR's in a season. Vitek also had 2 RBI in the game. Ball State finishes the season with a 28-25 record and no chance of making the NCAA tournament. Sometime over the next few days I will have a season wrap-up and look forward to next year's team.

Brownsburg baseball is off today and will play Avon on Monday at 11am to start sectional play.
