WESTFIELD, IN – Indiana and Ball State had a late back and forth affair Friday night in 14 innings of baseball. The Cardinals came out on top 18-13 (see our live game blog for more details). Indiana used a lot of pitchers in 1 or fewer inning stints but leaned largely on the returning sophomore class for key positions in the field. Head Coach Jeff Mercer met with Chris Feeny and me following the game.

Indiana hosts Xavier in the second and final fall exhibition vs outside competition. The game is scheduled for Sunday October 19th at 1pm. The game is free and open to the public. See You at the Bart.
