Baseball Set for Rematch with USI on Tuesday
March 25, 2024 | Baseball
The Ball State baseball team returns home to host Southern Indiana at 3 p.m. on Tuesday in a rematch of a late February BSU win in Evansville.
The Cardinals (13-12) enter the week riding momentum from a 4-2 triumph on Sunday at Toledo in the series finale. Corey Miley and Nick Husovsky hit their first home runs as Cardinals, and starting pitcher Keegan Johnson struck out 11 in 7.0 inning to earn the win. Johnson was named the Mid-American Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week for his efforts.
The Screaming Eagles (11-12) won the final 2 of 3 over the weekend against Tennessee Tech to begin Ohio Valley Conference play. Southern Indiana has gone 3-3 against common opponents with Ball State as they won a series over Eastern Michigan in late February and won 1 of 3 at Illinois a couple weekends ago.
Ball State rallied for seven runs in the seventh inning back on Feb. 27 at USI to claim a 10-4 win in the first midweek game of the year. Decker Scheffler went 3-for-5 with four RBI including a 3-run home run in the seventh to lead the Cardinals to victory.
The Ball State offense leads the MAC in total hits (231), doubles (46) and home runs (32), while the pitching staff leads the league and ranks No. 22 nationally in strikeouts per nine innings (10.6).
SCOUTING SOUTHERN INDIANA: The Screaming Eagles went 17-38 (8-15) last year in head coach Tracy Archuleta's 17th leading the program. USI is now in its second year playing in NCAA Division I. The Screaming Eagles won Division II national championships in 2010 and 2014.
Sophomore infielder Caleb Niehaus paces the club in batting average (.323), doubles (seven) and runs scored (19), while junior outfielder Terrick Thompson-Allen is second on the Screaming
Eagles in average (.299) while leading the squad in stolen bases (10).
Up Next
The Cardinals are scheduled to host Ohio for a three-game series beginning at 3 p.m. on Thursday for Easter weekend.
