The Cardinals trailed, 2-0, with two outs in the bottom of the fifth with runners on first and third when junior catcher and cleanup hitter Jarrett Rindfleisch stepped up to the plate.
Rindfleisch worked a 2-2 count before ripping the ball down the left field line for an RBI double, cutting the Flyers' lead to one run, 2-1.
With Rindfleisch on second and junior first baseman Caleb Stayton on third, junior shortstop Alex Maloney came through with an RBI single to right-center field to give Ball State a 3-2 lead.
