Two weeks ago, I thought that Ball State's loss at home to Ohio in the MAC tourney was just about as low as you can go in a season. However, the last two weeks have proven that Ohio was a good team that hit it's stride at the right time. The Bobcats were a 9-seed in the MAC tourney and won it all. Yesterday, they were a 14-seed in the NCAA tourney and beat 3rd-seeded Georgetown. Ohio shot 58 percent from the field and 57 percent from three-point land (13-23). They move on to play Tennessee on Saturday in the round of 32.
The Ball State baseball team travels to #10 Louisville this weekend for a 3-game series. BSU is 5-11 while Louisville is 15-1. Ball State will throw Brad Piatt on Friday, Cal Bowling on Saturday, and Kolbrin Vitek on Sunday. Lousiville will throw Thomas Royse on Friday (3-0 0.74 ERA). After this series, BSU will have played 8 of their 19 games against ranked opponents.
The BSU softball team has had a great start to their season. They are 15-5 and travel to Missouri this weekend for 5 games in the Demarini Invitational. The Cardinals will be tested early as they play #3 Missouri in the first game at 5pm on Friday. BSU Pitcher Elizabeth Milian is 11-1 with a 0.54 ERA. She needs 61 strikeouts to become the school's all-time leader in that category. Milian already has 111 Ks in 72 innings this year, so this record should come within the next week or so. The pitching overall has been brilliant as the Cards have given up 37 runs in 20 games. Jessie Ware leads the offense with a .373 batting average with 22 hits, 25 runs, 6 triples, 2 home runs and 13 RBIs, all team-leading stats.
