The two teams met last year in the MAC Tournament championship game. This series features a match-up of two of the top teams statistically in the MAC. Ohio ranks second in the league in batting average (.287) with Ball State right behind (.281). In terms of ERA, Ball State ranks second (3.92) and Ohio sits third (4.37). Ball State went 8-7 (.533) in home league games last year. 8Series History: This is the first time since 2013 these two teams have met for a league series. Ohio won the only meeting between the two teams last year, a 6-2 win in the MAC championship game. Ohio holds the lead in the all-time series, 59-44. The home team has won two of three games in each of the last three series. 8Eppers and Call are Hot: CF Matt Eppers and RF Alex Call enter the weekend riding 10-game hitting streaks. Over the last 10 games, Eppers is batting.472 (17-of-36) while Call is almost as good at.450 (18-of- 40).

Over the last nine games, Rindfleisch is batting.444 with three home runs and nine RBIs. 8Ball State Sweeps MAC Honors: SS Alex Maloney and RHP Zach Plesac took home the MAC Player/Pitcher of the Week honors this past Monday. Maloney finished 3-for-4 and scored two runs in Ball State s 9-8 comeback win over Purdue on March 22. In the March 27 win over Miami, Maloney hit two doubles and scored twice in the 9-6 victory. Plesac arguably put together one of the best collegiate pitching performances of the season at Miami on March 26. The righty tossed a two-hit, complete game shutout in the 9-0 win over the RedHawks. He struck out a career-high 11 batters and only allowed one base runner the final four innings. 8Switch in Starting Rotation: RHP Zach Plesac is expected to start Friday s game. LHP Kevin Marnon had been used in that role the previous four weeks. Also, RHP Brendan Burns has been reinserted to the rotation. He did not start last weekend at Miami.

He has led Ball State to four MAC titles as well as its only two 40-win seasons in program history (1997, 1999). In 2014, Maloney led Ball State to the MAC regular season championship, a MAC West Division title and the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament. The Cardinals ranked as high as 26th in the nation in the Collegiate Baseball Poll. For his efforts, Maloney was named the MAC Coach of the Year for a third time in his career (1998, 2001, 2014). A year later, the Cardinals made a late season surge and reached the 2015 MAC Tournament championship game. From 2003-12, Maloney was the head coach at Michigan. He guided the Wolverines to three Big Ten conference titles and the 2007 NCAA Regional title. He was named the 2007 and 2008 Big Ten and ABCA Mideast Regional Coach of the Year. Maloney has mentored 57 players who have been drafted, including five first round selections. In 2002, he helped Bryan Bullington become the only No. 1 overall draft pick in both Ball State and MAC history.
