Northern Kentucky's one-run lead against Ball State would be quickly diminished as Ball State baseball went on to take the 13-1 victory.
The Cardinals (25-17, 10-5 MAC) notched 12 hits in the win over the Norse (15-27, 4-15 Horizon League) in the victory.
Head coach Rich Maloney was pleased with his team's effort after Ball State dropped five of its last eight games.
“It is good to get back into the win column, no question about it,” Maloney said. “To rebound like we did is very impressive, but that’s how these guys are, they are very resilient.
