Ball State 5, Northern Illinois 1: At Muncie, Indiana, it looked as if the Huskies (14-14, 5-3 MAC) were going to build off its exciting win yesterday as Caitlyn Shumaker, batting leadoff, delivered a solo home run in to kick off the first inning.
Ball State (16-13, 6-2 MAC) had other plans though as, in their turn to bat, rocketed off two home runs for five RBI on pitcher Danielle Stewart to take a 5-1 advantage.
From there, the Huskie pitching staff kept the Cardinals in check. Claire Norred came in to pitch for Stewart in bottom of the fourth and allowed zero Ball State hits through the remainder of the contest.
