Baseball Back Home to Host USI Tuesday Afternoon
March 24, 2025 | Baseball
The Ball State baseball returns home to host Southern Indiana at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at Shebek Stadium.
The game will be streamed on ESPN+, and links to that broadcast, a free digital radio broadcast and live stats can be found above and on the schedule page.
Ball State (16-9) fell in three games over the weekend at Xavier in Cincinnati, but the Cardinals boast an 8-2 record in games played in Muncie this year.
The Screaming Eagles (10-13, 2-1 Ohio Valley Conference) won their first OVC series of the year last weekend at Western Illinois, suffering a 15-5 setback in Friday's opener before winning 8-5 on Saturday and 6-4 on Sunday.
Southern Indiana faced Mid-American Conference foe Bowling Green earlier in the year, beating the Falcons 8-7 in 10 innings on Feb. 28 and falling 4-1 on March 1, with both games being played in Carbondale, Ill.
Junior Cole Kitchens paces USI in batting average (.449), hits (35), home runs (three) and RBI (17), while fellow junior Kannon Coakley leads the Screaming Eagles in doubles (10) and also hits over .400 at .405 so far this year.
This will be the initial visit to Muncie for USI who hosted Ball State last year on Feb. 27 for the first game in series history between the two programs. The Cardinals prevailed 10-4 in Evansville on that Tuesday.
Ball State is next set to travel up to Northeast Ohio for a three-game set at Akron beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday.
