MUNCIE, Ind. - - It's hard to beat any opponent four straight times, and for much of Sunday afternoon it looked like the Ball State softball team was going to come up on the short end of its Mid-American Conference series finale versus Bowling Green.
However, on a cold, blustery day at the Softball Field at First Merchants Ballpark Complex, senior catcher Stacy Paytonsmashed the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the sixth out of the park to open the floodgates for the Cardinals (10-9; 4-0 MAC).
"The whole game was just sticking to the process," Payton said when asked about her sixth-inning home run.
