MUNCIE - A split last weekend at Central Michigan got the Ball State baseball team within a game of first place, and the deficit has been cut to zero. Ball State (31-14, 22-7) routed Kent State 8-2 on Friday afternoon, and coupled with a Central Michigan loss at Western Michigan, move into 1st place in the MAC standings.
Home runs by Ryan Peltier and Chase Sebby were the big shots in Friday's win, more than enough for John Baker to earn his 6th win of the season and 24th of his career.
