Cardinals Start Strong in Midweek Win over Bellarmine
April 02, 2024 | Baseball
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State baseball team beat Bellarmine 7-2 in a rain-shortened midweek contest on Tuesday morning at Ball Diamond.
The Cardinals (18-12) scored the first seven runs of the game before it was called in the sixth inning after about a half hour weather delay. The Knights (4-24) were originally scheduled to host the meeting in Louisville at 3 p.m., but projected inclement weather moved the game to Muncie.
Casey Turturici drove a two-run double to left center that scored Hunter Dobbins and Matthew Kamins and made the score 2-0 in Ball State's favor after the second inning. Kamins scored Blake Bevis on a single to center in the third before Nick Husovsky plated two on an RBI base hit up the middle to put the Cardinals ahead 5-0 after three innings.
Clay Jacobs scored Decker Scheffler on a sac bunt in the fourth inning and Bevis crossed home plate on a wild pitch to provide the final scoring of the day for Ball State. Zach Kwasny (4-1) allowed one run on two hits in 3.0 innings of relief to claim the win.
Scheffler had two hits and Bevis and Kamins scored twice each in the midweek win for the Cardinals, who improved 7-1 in midweek games on the year.
Bellarmine starter Chase Carver (0-3) gave up two runs in 2.0 innings pitched to suffer the loss.
The Cardinals are scheduled to play a three-game series at Miami (OH) starting at 3 p.m. on Friday.
