Miami(18-32; 12-15 in MAC) comes to Muncie this weekend | Hitting | BA | SLG | OBP | | Ball State | .295 | .485 | .388 | | Miami | .275 | .448 | .371 |
| Pitching | ERA | WHIP | K:BB | | Ball State | 4.65 | 1.58 | 1.68:1 | | Miami | 5.78 | 1.74 | 1.76:1 |
Ball State (tied 2nd place) finishes out the MAC regular at home vs. Miami & Kent State (1st place). Need these Miami games to set up a show down with Kent in the final weekend series. CMU (tied 2nd) plays three at Toledo. Need an assist from the Rockets. As always, WIN 3!!! |

Game 1 is currently 4-2 in favor of BSU in the 8th. BSU was up 4-0 after 7, but we have rain coming down. Sam Klein can't get a grip on wet baseballs, plus the umpire has tightened the strike zone. Giving up walks and throwing some wild pitches. Bases loaded with no outs.
Weather is impacting the level of play in this game.

Still no outs and bases loaded. Umpires letting this game go in some not so good weather. Hopefully, conditions remain when BSU gets to bat in the bottom of the 8th and Miami has trouble pitching. |

Stick a fork in them their done. How many wild pitches? How many walks? What's our record for most runs allowed in an inning?

Through 7 complete innings, Trevor O'Donnell threw a two hit shutout. It was 4-0 after 7.
Just completed a waterlogged top of the 8th inning and Miami leads 14-4. 14 runs on only 5 hits, 1 error, 10 walks, 7 wild pitches,
The game should've been delayed until the rain cleared. The equipment was unplayable. Luckily there were no weather related injuries.

Why did O’Donnell get pulled? How many pitches had he thrown?
Then you bring in a guy and allow him to throw 4 pitches with a four run lead? Ya let’s kill his confidence too.
However, it’s all about the MAC tourney. Let’s hope all learn from this debacle.

Agree weather beat us. Umps should hav delayed the game. Our pitching at times is suspect but it was obvious that a wet ball takes on a life of it's own.

David Letterman is lurking along the 1st baseline fence.  Meanwhile, Hunter Dobbins has pitcher Kenten Egbert, of Miami, drooling. |

Dobbins goes yard in the 5th with a man on. BSU up 3-0. Only 3 hits in the 1st 5 innings and Dobbins has 2 HRs.
