The Ball State baseball team split a double header with #10 Louisville yesterday. The games were moved up due to impending weather in the area. In the first game, Louisville jumped out to a 6-0 lead on the strength of a 5-run second inning eventually running BSU starter Cal Bowling (Yorktown!) out after three innings of work. Louisville won the game 8-3. As usual, the defense was not very good as 5 of the runs that BSU gave up were unearned. One bright spot in this game was Derek Grabner's long-relief outing. He pitched 5 innings, only giving up 2 runs to keep the game somewhat close.
In the second game, BSU took a 3-0 lead after three innings and got some strong pitching to get a 5-1 victory. Kolbrin Vitek started the game and threw 4 innings without allowing a run. Perci Garner came in and pitched the next four inning, allowing 1 run with 6 strikeouts. Seth Hobbs threw a scoreless ninth inning. The offensive charge was led by TJ Baumet's 3 hits. It was the second time this year that BSU has beaten a team ranked in the top 15. The Cardinals are now 6-13 on the season. They play at Notre Dame (7-10) on Tuesday before starting MAC play over the weekend.
The BSU softball team had a weird day yesterday. Their 11am game against Eastern Michigan was canceled due to snow on the field, but their 7pm game against Norther Colorado was played.......indoors! Elizabeth Milian threw a 1-hit shutout for BSU, striking out 6 batters. The offense was led by Alyssa Collins and Jessie Ware with 3 hits each. Sunday's games against Missouri and Northern Colorado have been canceled. The Cards travel to Dayton on Wednesday for a double header then get the weekend off. BSU is 17-6 so far this season.
