Baseball Playing at Southern Indiana Tuesday and at Home vs Oakland City Wednesday
March 23, 2026 | Baseball
The Ball State baseball team is set to play at Southern Indiana on Tuesday evening and at home against Oakland City on Wednesday afternoon.
The Tuesday contest in Evansville will be played at 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT) and be broadcast on ESPN Radio 97.7 FM. Wednesday's game was a late add to the schedule and has a 3 p.m. start time with a WMUN 92.5 FM / 1340 AM radio call. A video stream can be found on the WMUN Facebook page for Wednesday.
Ball State (12-10, 7-2 Mid-American Conference) most recently won a series at Western Michigan over the weekend thanks to a pair of ninth inning rallies. The Cardinals scored five runs in the final frame on Saturday in an 8-6 win and four in the ninth on Sunday for a 7-5 decision.
Southern Indiana (15-9, 2-1 Ohio Valley Conference) beat Western Illinois on Friday and Sunday to earn a series win to begin the OVC season.
The Screaming Eagles are proficient in playing small ball, pacing the OVC in both sacrifice bunts (24, No. 5 in NCAA Division I) and getting hit by pitches (47), as the league's top run-producing team (8.3 runs per game).
Senior Clayton Slack is the team leader in batting average (.371) while having the second-most hits (33) for USI. Fellow senior Patrick McLellan leads the Screaming Eagles in doubles (eight), home runs (three) and RBI (30) as a .357 hitter.
Oakland City (23-7, 8-4 River States Conference) is an NAIA member about 30 miles northeast of Evansville. The Mighty Oaks played Purdue last Wednesday in West Lafayette, losing 11-3, before sweeping West Virginia University Institute of Technology across three games last Friday and Saturday.
Freshman Charlie Hoffman is the team leader in batting average at .409, while junior Eric Correa boasts a .361 average with five homers and team highs in RBI (30) and stolen bases (10).
Ball State's next conference series starts on Friday afternoon at home vs Ohio.
