The Ball State baseball team will now play Illinois State at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at Ball Diamond in Muncie for the home opener.
The contest was added as the Cardinals had their final game of the Swig & Swine Classic in Charleston, S.C., canceled due to weather.
The Feb. 25 home opener will be the earliest on the calendar in Ball State baseball history, as the March 8 opener last year was the previous earliest.
Ball State (2-1) opened the year with wins against Towson and Maryland in Charleston. The Cardinals are in California this weekend to play a four-game series with Sacramento State starting at 5 p.
