YPSILANTI, Mich. -- The road hasn't always been Ball State's friend in recent years. This 2019 version of the Cardinals is doing its best to change that.
Make it two weeks, two MAC road wins. And now, finally, headed home for two straight.
Ball State overtook Eastern Michigan in the fourth quarter Saturday and held off the Eagles in the closing seconds for a 29-23 win at Rynearson Stadium. The Cardinals (3-3) backed up last week's Bronze Stalk victory to improve to 2-0 in league play for the first time since 2013 with back-to-back road wins for the first time since the same year.
