Miami Drops MAC Finale at BSU

MUNCIE, Ind. — The Miami University baseball team dropped its final MAC game of the season at Ball State by an 8-3 score Sunday afternoon. The RedHawks' record moves to 19-34 and 13-17 in conference play while BSU improves to 32-18, 19-8 MAC.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Trailing 1-0, Miami evened the score in the top of the third. Brian Zapp walked to start the inning, then stole second. He advanced to third on a sacrifice groundout by Tommy Harrison and came in to score on a Benji Brokemond single.
  • The Cardinals re-took the lead with a pair of runs in the third and two more in the fourth.
  • Miami cut into a 5-1 deficit with a run in the fifth. Three consecutive one-out singles from Dillon Baker, Zapp and Zach MacDonald loaded the bases. Harrison hit a grounder to second that brought Baker across and made it 5-2.
  • The home team responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning and added a run in the sixth to take an 8-2 lead.
  • The RedHawks scored the game's final run in the top of the ninth. After MacDonald reached via walk, a Harrison two-out single to right drove MacDonald in.
 
NOTES
  • Miami pitchers combined to strike out 12 Cardinals.
  • Harrison produced multiple RBIs for the second time in the series.
 
UP NEXT:
The RedHawks travel to McNeese State Wednesday for a non-conference series to close the regular season. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. ET in Lake Charles, La.
