Ball State baseball (15-11, 2-1 MAC) will host Ohio University (10-14, 1-2 MAC) April 1-3 in a rematch of last year’s Mid-American Conference championship game.
Last season, the Bobcats beat the Cardinals 6-2 to earn the MAC’s bid to the NCAA Regional tournament. Junior shortstop Alex Maloney said missing out on the postseason berth still stings.
“That left a pretty sick feeling in a lot of our stomachs,” he said. “The guys who are returning know what this game is about, what this series is about.”
Ball State is riding a hot streak, having won four of their last five games and seven of their last nine.
