MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State baseball team trailed Purdue 7-0 after the top of the second inning, but the Cardinals fought their way back to earn a 9-8 win over the Boilermakers Tuesday afternoon at a blustery Ball Diamond.
The wind played a major factor in the game as the constant heavy breeze was blowing straight out to center field. Purdue (4-13) was the first team to capitalize on the conditions as Kyle Wood lifted a high fly ball to left field in the first that carried over the fence to give the Boilermakers an early 3-0 lead.
