SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Ball State baseball team fell in two tight games of a doubleheader to Sacramento State on Friday at John Smith Field.

The Cardinals (3-3) led for the majority of the opener before Sacramento State (4-3) hit a walkoff two-run home run in the ninth inning for a 6-5 win. The Hornets clinched the doubleheader sweep with a 2-0 decision in the nightcap.

"Two close games where they executed a bit better than us," Ball State head coach Rich Maloney said.
