MUNCIE, Ind. -- On a sunny day with a light breeze and clear skies, the Ball State baseball team played the earliest home game in program history on Tuesday, hosting Illinois State at The Ball Diamond in front of over 400 sun-starved fans.
Unfortunately, that was just about all the excitement the home fans got on a day in which "they beat us in all facets," lamented veteran coach Rich Maloney. In what was the first Cardinals' home game ever played in the month of February, the other red birds beat Ball State 11-1.
