Baseball Playing at Indiana on Tuesday Night
April 06, 2026 | Baseball
The Ball State baseball team is set for a 6 p.m. game at Indiana on Tuesday night.
Links to the B1G+ video broadcast, WMUN 92.5 FM / 1340 AM radio call and live stats can be found above and on the schedule page.
Ball State (15-15, 10-5 Mid-American Conference) rallied late but fell 7-6 at Miami (Ohio) in the final game of the three-game set on Saturday in Oxford.
Indiana (12-19, 5-10 Big Ten) won its series against Rutgers 2-1 over the weekend, clinching the set with an 8-2 decision on Easter Sunday. The Cardinals and Hoosiers have both faced Minnesota and Xavier this year, as Indiana took 2 of 3 against the Golden Gophers March 20-22 and beat Xavier 10-4 back on Feb. 25.
Jeff Mercer is in his eighth season as the head coach at IU, as the Hoosiers were picked to finish fifth in the Big Ten preseason poll a year after going 32-24 (16-14) to tie for sixth in the final conference standings.
Indiana likes to play small ball, ranking third in the Big Ten with 15 sacrifice bunts. The Hoosiers are 14th in the 17-team Big Ten in scoring at 5.5 runs per game and 14th in ERA (6.41).
Sophomore Caleb Koskie paces IU with a .345 batting average, while fellow sophomore Jake Hanley hits .344 with team highs in hits (43), home runs (eight) and RBI (32).
Ball State will next return to MAC play hosting Akron for a three-game series set to begin on Friday afternoon.
