KENT, Ohio — Ball State weathered a fourth quarter storm on Saturday at Kent State – including an actual rain storm over the game's final six minutes – and used a 41-yard run by in the game's final moments to seal a 37-35 win.
For Pemberton, the late burst gave Ball State a nine-point cushion with 1:13 to play. It was the second-longest run of his career and his first touchdown of the season after missing a pair of games due to injury.
For the Cardinals (2-4, 1-2 MAC), it snapped a four-game skid while earning their first road win and first victory in the Mid-American Conference this season.
