Jacob Hartlaub on the mound and multi-RBI games from Blake Bevis, Brett Griffiths and Clay Jacobs at the plate to a 7-2 win over Towson on Friday at Shipyard Park.
The Cardinals led wire-to-wire in the season opener at the Swig & Swine Classic, scoring three runs in the second inning on a two-run single by Griffiths following by an RBI knock by Gavin Balius in both of their Ball State debuts.
Jacobs drove in a run each in the third (bunt single) and fifth (grounder to second) to extend the Cardinals' advantage to 5-0.
