Wild Walkoff! Cards Move To MAC Final!
AVON, Ohio - Do or die. 11th inning. Ball State gets a double from Mack Murphy and needs to score to keep its season alive.
Enter Nick Powell.
The sophomore outfielder made a couple nice plays in right field in extra innings and then became the hero at the plate, scoring Murphy with a single to center to give the Cardinals an 8-7 win over Northern Illinois. Ball State (38-18) advances to the championship round against Central Michigan.
